Things to know: views are beautiful on the trip! Water is 50degrees so donā€™t tip or 15min til hypothermiaā€¦ However you will kayak to a cave that is tiny & doesnā€™t even show green unless itā€™s the perfect time of day (in afternoon) with perfect blue sky & itā€™s so small when u r crammed in there with your entire group even if it were green there wouldnā€™t be much room to see. Huge let down since itā€™s the name of the tour & picture advertisedā€¦ even guide says 80% of time no green. Then the ENTIRE second half of the trip is strong paddling against the current against the wind the entire way back upstream where you had just came from. Be prepared to be exhausted & sore afterwards! Btw afternoon is windiest according to the guide. We had morning and could not imagine paddling back if it were more windy & our group were athletic teenagers!

Hi there, Thank you for your review. We are sorry that your trip did not meet your expectations. Sometimes, Mother Nature does not give us wind in the direction that we would like or shine the sun at the time we would like. We feel that that is part of the adventure, but understand that not everyone agrees.
