A beautiful morning kayaking. - Simple, efficient booking with friendly helpful staff. The waves were too big to explore the sea caves but I was immediately offered rebooking. Luca was a friendly, knowledgeable guide who showed us the wildlife in this beautiful part of the coast and gave a couple of great recommendations for the afternoon . Overall a great day-thank you.

Great experience! - Alex was a great tour guide. We didn’t get to go into the cave because the waves were too rough, but it was still a great experience! I would do it again.

Great time - If the water is too rough you don’t get the cave experience which is fine as they are taking care of their customers.

Well worth while - Well run operation. We had a really good guide who took us into the emerald cove when he could have come up with reasons not to. He set a good mood and pace and shared plenty of knowledge as we paddled. Don't expect a network of interlinked caves but still enjoyable. The optional dip in the ocean was refreshing.

Not impressed - Female guide was far ahead of our group. No advanced known as that we could not go into the caves. No advanced notices that the foot wash station was by the beach until we got to the facility at the end. The listing should also state that the lockers are available because we didn’t know what to bring.
