- In the instant the setting sun hits the tip of the island, it shines like a lighted candle.
- Standing about 20 meters tall, this strange rock looks like a huge candle being lit on fire when the setting sun is lined up just right with the tip of the rock. The sightseeing boats schedule their departure around sunset. Bring your camera and aim for a breathtaking shot!
