Fun kayak tour
Doreen_O, September 2026
Come prepared in a bathing suit. There are areas you can swim. Rock jumping for the brave. Not a difficult paddle at all.

Miguel was a great guide....
ChiAn_L, September 2026
Miguel was a great guide. He took us to so many caves but of course the safety was always the priority. So if the condition wasn’t suitable, he will just tell us to retrieve. It was amazing. He even showed the dolphins. We had a fantastic time
