We did the early morning tour which was perfect as there were less boats on the water and we had no waits for any caves. Our guide Carlos was great, good humor and explanations of each cave.

“I had booked the sunrise tour for 6AM but unfortunately received a message from the team that the high tides on that day and kayaking would be unsafe. The team then offered me an option to either pick an alternate day or do a private kayak tour in the same day, in the evening. I and my friend decided to take the private tour - Diogo and his friend (sorry I don't remember the name!) were extremely nice. They showed us around the caves, told us some fun stories and patiently waited for us while we struggled to kayak (sorry not sorry!). They were even proactive in taking our pictures.…”
