Crystal Caves
built 634 days ago
The Crystal Caves are the most famous of many caves in Bermuda and are named after the crystal clear water that fills the caves. The clarity is so perfect that it is possible to see the cave floor, which at one point lies 55 feet below the water’s surface. Guided tours begin every 30 minutes and visitors will be relieved to know they enter the cave via an entrance carved into the rock (the guide will point out the hole the boys used) and down a series of steps. From here, visitors take a tour of the cave walking on a wooden pontoon constructed over the water.

The Crystal Caves are a mineralogical museum in a fantasyland cave. Put on a miner's helmet and discover some of the world's most beautiful natural crystals and real fossil in a beautifully crafted cave. Feel free to touch these beautiful wonders of the earth. Explore the shop which is one of the biggest mineral shops in Australia, crack your own Geode or indulge yourself in the beauty of the display in the Amethyst-room. Spoil your family, friends or yourself with natural crystals, real fossils, local gold nugget jewellery, colourful Australian Agate, Gemstone Globes and so much more.
In Crystal Caves you're playing with Mylo Steamwitz. As all Apogee games have, Crystal Caves has a good story in it. Mylo is rocketing to the Altairian stars on a treasure hunt. Mylo thought he would get some treasures and then leave again; but something else happens. He enters an underground world of chambers full of alien technology and traps. Strange aliens and robots live in the caves. They are trying to protect the crystals from people like Mylo, who only like to have them for the money.
The Crystal Caves history goes back to 1907, when two boys discovered the caves when playing cricket. They immediately took a lantern and a piece of rope to explore them. Since then, these stalagmite and stalactite formations have been open to the public. Ask your guide to point out the original entrance (you can see a bit of skylight through it) -- and be amazed at how brave (and agile!) the boys must have been to climb down to find this subterranean wonderland.

You have gone on a mining expedition into the Crystal Caves, which is loaded with diamonds, but ... with hazardous enemies. Running around the side-view game screens, you can avoid or shoot these, but beware that you start with limited ammo. There are different types of doors blocking your path, each of which is colour-coded. Bonus fruit is often released to be chased down, which tiles spelling out BONUS can be collected. There are special levels including reverse gravity ones to keep you on your toes.

The Crystal Caves is an adventure museum featuring crystallised mineral specimens and fossils from around the world. The Museum is built like a cave. Visitors wear a helmet with a light attached, and traverse passages and "tunnels" which are highlighted by special filtered lights. The result is a spectacular array of colour gleaming from the exhibits - a mineralogical museum with a difference, the most spectacular collection in Australia!
