The tour guide was nice. I felt like there was some instruction missing, especially for a first-timer. Once we were on the water, it was difficult to hear the tour guide because she wouldn't wait for everyone to get together, she'd just start talking. Also, it's not really a cave tour, it's more like an ocean tour that happens to be by caves. But overall, good experience.

Good experience. Kayaking was fun and our guide was good. Really up close look at the sea caves and the sea lions.

Fun tour. Whished there could have been someone taking pictures. Unlike the $20 each pics they sell after the harbor tour in San Diego, and which nobody buys, I would have bought one of those to remember the little adventure.

It was our first sit-on-top experience. They give you helmets, but no instructions on how to fit one properly so it will offer maximum protection if needed. I don't recall any safety instructions before the tour either. But our guide was very competent and took no risks. The waves were too high to actually venture into the caves but the tour was great without it.
