5.00Our tour guides Delaney and Zach were great, kept us entertained and informed the whole time. They made sure we were safe as we were entering the caves, waiting for waves to pass before going in. I would recommend going to the early tour. I went at 9am and we were the first group out there so we didn’t have to wait in a long line to enter the cave.
If you have the opportunity, please go
