We had a great time on our kayak tour of the caves! Our guides were awesome and took the time to stop above the reef to explain the ecological world underneath. They also personally brought us into a cave so we could experience the inside of it and see the beautiful crystal clear water. Wish we were able to go into more than just one cave, but had no clue that we would be that close to all of the seal lions and that was thrillng. Wish we had added the snorkeling option too. Overall a great experience, super easy check in and out process, and our guides were wonderful. Be sure to wear good polarized sun glasses so you can clearly see into the ocean.
Great New Adventure

My granddaughter and I had a great time. Levi and Izzy were our tour guides and they were welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you for a fun afternoon!

The name is deceiving. I thought we were going to tour 7 caves. Instead we looked at a wall of 6 caves. And only got to enter 1 cave
Not Worth the Money

Our reservation was changed multiple times. They did comp us two free lockers. It was very chaotic and unorganized. When we finally got to the water we sat around majority of the time waiting for people. We saw the outside of the caves and were told we couldn’t go in because the water was rough. Not worth the money. Should’ve saved our money and just rented our on kayak to go out in.
