Amazing kayak tour! The caves are beautiful. Our guide, Miguel, was excellent, and even managed to find and rescue my phone after I foolishly lost it i to the sea!

It was beautiful! Our guide and his brother made things easy for us. The guide had a great personality and a ton of knowledge. We loved our tour and it was the perfect way to spend two hours! Seeing the cliffs and caves while kayaking is an amazing experience!
