Great experience - We had a great experience although there was an overcast which was good because the temperature was cooler but we didn’t get to see the full effect of the light shining into the cave. Our tour guides Doug and Isaac were great. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing Isaac - Isaac from Oneness adventure hands down to this amazing guide. He is not my guide but I flipped my kayak - he rescued and saved me. Too bad I didn’t get a solo picture but definitely be back and recommend him to my friends and relatives. He took a worthy National Geographic shot. Thank you so much Isaac.

Fun day! - It was a very fun day on the water! Don was a fantastic guide, with information about the area, wildlife, and plant life. I chose to meet at Willow Bay, but there is an option to be picked up at one of the hotels on the strip, which is great for those who need it. Fun experience!

Stood up - Driver never picked us up. We spent money on a cab, woke up early, lost 3 hours waiting and preparing.
