Well educated guides and all the proper equipment, made for an amazing experience on our honeymoon! Water was nice and the weather worked out for the day. We appreciate all the history knowledge of the guides and sea cave exploration. Thank you to our guides Jody and Sam for the fun time on the water.

Our guide Adam was great! The wind on the sea made a certain area on our trip a bit challenging, but Adam guided us out of that area and the rest of the trip was wonderful! Nice day out kayaking on the water! Thanks Adam!
