“Enjoyed the tour, good small group with a chill and friendly guide to see the coastline and explore some caves. Took great photos which was so nice. I get claustrophobic and forgot to take something for seasickness but was OK. I’d recommend being fairly confident on the water and in a kayak if participating. Make sure you give yourself enough time to find a parking spot before the tour as it gets very busy.”
