5.00We just finished this boat trip. We had so much fun! The weather was wonderful, so the ride was especially enjoyable. The caves are amazing! Our tour guide Mick was very friendly and welcoming. He encouraged everyone to have a great time and happily answered questions about the area. 1.5 hours was the perfect about of time for us and we heartily recommend this tour.
A great afternoon. Fun for the family with amazing views.

Very Poor Tour Operation

1.00Upon arrival for our booking we were told that the sea conditions wouldn't allow the boat to get near the caves. We could go on a leisure boat ride or ask for a refund. We decided on the refund. The tour operator gave me a phone number to message for the refund. I typed the message in front of the operator and validated that the number and message was correct.......since then nothing.........no refund, no response from anyone. It has been almost 4 weeks! i even reached out to the tour operator after a couple of weeks and he never responded. Pretty shady operation......i wouldn't be booking with these guys.

5.00Unbelievable tour. The ride was a bit bumpy on the way back, but that was partly due to a quick rain shower. Caves are just awesome to see. Well worth it for the price.
The best
