A ā€œmust doā€ adventure with kids/teens or couples . Owen and Jackson were terrific guides for our educational and fun 9:30 tour, and helped us get out over the waves where we did , and you will, get wet/splashed but it was a thrill and the water was refreshing and we were never cold even without wetsuits - (we wore shorts and t-shirts). Recommend renting a locker for $8 and planning to change out of your wet clothes afterwards. Kayaking was easy and they helped us get back to shore although our daughterā€™s boat was the only one that tipped on the way back but it was in shallow water so they were fine and had a blast. We saw dolphins, sea lions, pelicans and tamarinds and were able to go into the caves a short distance. They got in the water and literally guided our boats in and out

The tour guides were very informative. The caves were cool. Saw sea lions and tiger sharks. The only downside was floating in the ocean not paddling for too long. One family member gets motion sickness. As long as we are paddling he is fine.

Two of our family members kayaks flipped in the caves and members hit the cave sides! One of the members didnt have helmet on!! Dangerous!! Should not have been allowed inside cave without helmet! This was on a low tide day when a rogue wave threw kayaks against cave side. I loved the kayaking and would have loved going inside another cave with more experienced guides!
