5.0010/10 would recommend! The crew was so kind and helped us feel relaxed and confident! Definitely bring motion sickness meds because it’s pretty choppy! If you aren’t a confident swimmer they will offer you an orange floatie. Don’t even second think this experience - just book it! We only had 7 people so it was a small/intimate experience.
Otherworldly Experience

5.00An awesome time with fun guys. They make sure everyone has fun, stays safe, and respects the sea. You’re only in the water for like 30 minutes, but you still need sunscreen.
