An Amazing Experience - We had an incredible time on this tour! Our guides were Sofia and Mars and they really made the trip. They shared all kinds of history and ecology info about the area we were kayaking through. Be prepared to get wet and consider taking something for seasickness, especially when the water's rough. This was a once in a lifetime experience and well worth it!

A beautiful and active experience - Guides were friendly, informed and capable. Did not think it would be as strenuous as it was. Quite a workout. Scenery was stunning. Water was warm. Lots of fun had by all!

The wildlife was amazing!... - The wildlife was amazing! Only setback was the viator ticket didn’t specify we needed to be there 30 min prior to the time on the ticket - it worked out but would have gone smoother. Team did a great job watching out for us.

Amazing experience with Lizzie and Veronika - If you are looking to have fun and get some exploration out of a single tour, then this is the tour for you. My one con is when booking this tour, you need to double check that when you select two people you aren't paying for two as they will get you absolutely no refund. Otherwise, the tour was absolutely incredible and the guides were the best part of the trip. Lizzie was incredible to hang out with and really made the experience along with Veronika. We would recommend to anyone!!! Just make sure you are only paying for one kayak and try your best to get the incredible duo of Lizzie and Veronika!

Good but not enough cave time - The guides were great. I felt very safe the whole time; however, I was expecting more time in the cave and to be able to see more than one cave. We had 10 boats on the tour and had to wait for the other 9 to be escorted i to and out of the cave. Perhaps I judt didn’t read enougjh about tje trip before booking.

Kayaking Cave Tour - The view was gorgeous, and we took lots of photos. It was a really nice experience kayaking in the Ocean and not the lake 🙂

Nice afternoon excursion kayaking. - Fun trip with enthusiastic guides who knew a lot about the sea, the animals and the surroundings. We had a different representation of kayaking in the caves and that was a bit disappointing. (It's in paddling, taking pictures and back) If we could do it again, we would choose kayaking and snorkeling, then you can also enjoy the sand sharks, garibal dives, turtles and sea lions underwater.
