Very well organised and fantastic guides! I highly recommend this tour if you like a bit of adventure. It involved kayaking on the sea as well as in and out of caves- a very amazing and unique experience. Luckily I have been kayaking many times before, the sea was more choppy than I thought it would be so not great for an inexperienced kayaker!
