You can see much more by kayak than on a similar tour by motorboat, as some of the caves can only be accessed by kayak. Highly recommended.”

“In terms of the nature you see, this tour is amazing. Our guide Sam was lovely, organized, and was able to keep track of a big group. The boat was definitely nicer than many we saw on the water and the crew on board was very accommodating and proactive. Locations that they chose were good and accurately described! Bus was perfectly adequate/comfortable and driver was safe and good in the traffic. For us, we learned that groups of this size are not for us. I don’t find it intimate and it doesn’t offer the chance to have a strong connection with the guides. However, I think the price is fair…”
