5.00We took the speed boat to the caves with Dillan and Ritchie: they were amazing guides. The whole family, including our 4 year and 8 year old boys found it to be an exhilarating experience. I would really recommend these guysyhy. They went out of their way to make sure we have the best views of the caves and a really fun experience on the boat!

He took us through various different caves/caverns and geological features, talking about the history of each one and how it relates to the locals culture and stories. The sights and kayaking was super fun. Highly recommend!
