“Amazing boat tour. We were with our 7 month old baby and felt safe and taken care of the whole time. 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. Would 100% recommend, even with small children.”

“I guess we were unlucky enough to have to share the boat with a large group celebrating a kids birthday (10 years old maybe?) I know some of you would think ‘well, go book yourself a private tour’ but they literally took over the boat really; food and cake being passed around with kids screaming, coming and going non stop. I feel sorry for the couples on the boat who maybe thought, like me, this was going to be a chill out experience waiting for the sun to set. We had our two teenagers with us who were totally unimpressed. We’ve done countless of boat trips before (day/evening/bbq’s/sunset) but this…”
