So much fun - It was a great time. My first time kayaking. The tour guide who lead the tour was Luke. He was great at explaining things and very encouraging. Would definitely recommend!!

Missed the Opportunity !! - Unfortunately I couldn't go on the ride as I do not know the swimming. But seems the money couldn't be returned. But the experience for the rest of my family is really awesome. They all enjoyed kayaking. Its really necessary to know medium level swimming as we would be going 1-2 miles into the sea

Good kayaking but make sure you can swim - The tour itself was pretty nice. the only complaint I have is that 2 of the members in our party were not swimmers and because of “strong waves” we’re unable to participate. this by itself would not have been an issue, however when we returned to the shop to receive some kind of compensation, we were told all sales were non refundable and were not given any type of equal compensation.

Would not recommend - Was very uncoordinated honestly the tour was just a waste of time. We waited to get in the cave for 30 minutes and once we got in they immediately told us to go out. at this point just rent a personal kayak for 2 hours yourself and go see what you wanna see
