Alright, not sure how many of you are still curious, but I just found a shortcut on Whale Island that shaves off 2-3 hours.
Go past the gates near Iris' tower, to the next area (with the poisonous ponds). In the upper left hand corner of the place you'll find a wall that has sparkles coming off it: hit the wall with a SP hammer attack to bring it down. This opens up a passage to the first room in the cave.
