Echo Cave

The Echo Caves are a large magical cave located in Neverland.

According to Hook, the caves are so named from an old saying 'the deeper the lie, the more truth in its echo'.

The caves have magic that demand that one reveal a truth about themselves. A secret you would not admit to anyone.

Before the Curse
During his centuries long stay in Neverland, Hook lost most of his crew in the Echo Caves.

After the Curse


When Henry was on the run from the Lost Boys, an escaped Lost Boy, convinced Henry they could hide in the Echo Caves. However, they were intercepted on their way there.

Days later Pan would have the Lost Boys imprison Neal there as a test/game for Emma and company. They were ultimately successful in rescuing him by revealing their secrets;

Hook: Falling in love with Emma has helped him move on from the pain of losing, Milah.

Snow: That she wants a new child.

David: That he is unable to leave Neverland due to the cure of the Dreamshade poisoning.

Emma: That she wished Neal was dead.
