“A perfect experience with amazing locals - I know that there are a lot of options when choosing a tour but this experience was definitely the best and I’m so glad we chose it. We did the kayak tour with Alan and it was amazing!! We had a great time seeing the owners farm and experiencing the caves through a locals perspective. Going in the morning to avoid crowds and catch the lower tide was perfect. We got to experience this without a large group which made it even better. We got to see so many caves and were given such good instruction. If you have the choice I would definitely recommend this company. We hope to come back again :)” - Reviewed on 2025-05-16
