With a group of about 10, you'll traverse the open ocean with an exceptionally friendly, youthful guide. As you make way to the towering caverns carved out by years of erosion, you'll make occasional stops to learn about the wildlife in the area. If you're fortunate, you'll be visited by dolphins or even whales! Once you reach the caverns, you'll be greeted with congestion of snorkelers, kayakers, photographers and more. This ocean gridlock occurs as multiple people try to enter the small cavern at once. Here, you'll float on in the ocean wonder as you wait for access. Thankfully, the air is clean, the sounds beautiful, and the wait, worth it.

definitely a great option if you want to see the caves up close. That being said you only briefly go into one of them but only for a few seconds as there is always a lineup to go inside. The tour was pretty great and really does not take alot of physical strength just make sure you are familiar with how to operate a kayak...seriously though. Also always keep an eye out saw a whole bunch of dolphins swimming in the water. Not that many animals to begin with in the water so it was awesome to see those guys swimming

We did a 90-minute ocean kayaking with the group. Our tour guide was quite knowledgable and was eager to answer questions. She had a good attitude and made the tour enjoyable. Due to recent weather issues we unfortunately could not go into the caves, but the company did offer everyone a voucher to go into the caves from land later on in the day. Everyone that was on the beach helping out to push out and pull in the kayaks was very friendly. One girl got seasick while out kayaking. One of the two tour guides kayaked back with her all the way to the beach (which was 2-5 minutes away) and they radio'ed in a different guide to come join the group. Overall the staff was very friendly and it was a fun experience. While we didn't get to go into the caves because of weather, it was generous of them to offer free vouchers for us to enter the caves from the land above. As a side note, we got the photo package (which we thought was worth it) because it was only a few dollars extra. They do have a shower and foot wash station at the rental shop. It's not actually a shower room but rather at the back of the rental area, so you will need to shower with your bathing suit on.
