“This kayaking trip was a blast!! The views are amazing, and the tour guides were superb. They were all about safety, and taught us all about the caves. The downside to this trip is all the boat tours. They are loud, smell of fumes, and create a bunch of waves. I wish the boat tours would be outlawed. The kayak trip was awesome, much more environmentally friendly, and was easier to adventure into the smaller caves.”
