5.00It’s worth arriving at least 15 minutes early to get changed. The equipment and guides Roman & Coya were great. We didn’t snorkel for long but it was just enough. We saw lots of cormorants, pelicans, sealions & guppies. The guides saw leopard sharks but i didn’t.

4.00Kayak caves and snorkeling. Was ok, the kayak had a broken mount for the seat, so no back support and that hurt a bit. Snorkeling in one spot lot of the same fish, went through one small cave. Would break up and do only one activity at a time.

3.00The staff helping to prep and provide us equipments was not very cooperative. We were just a few minutes late and he refused to give us wetsuits but gave us everything else. We literally begged him to at least provide to 1 member in our party that really needed it. As for the guide that took us out to kayak and snorkeling, she was amazing. We really enjoyed our experience with her out in the water.

1.00Do not take this kayak tour. The photos and description are completely romanticized. This company books way too many kayakers to handle. The shop is run by teenagers. The cove is beautiful. The caves are pretty. Snorkeling is a waste of time in these waters. Save your money for something else.
