July 2024 - Great experience. We went into one cave, which was cool. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the area and caves.

Great fun - Had a fun time out on the water. All guides were nice and knowledgeable. Water was a little murky, but not the fault of the guides at all. We lucked out with weather otherwise.

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure! - Awesome adventure even if it was a little too rough to enter the caves that day. Ended up being the only one on this tour time slot so my guide Scot really made it special. He told me all about the region, the caves, the local wildlife, and even all the cool mansions along the water. The kayak was easier than I expected even with the swells and we stayed much longer than I expected much to my delight. I give this place 5 stars because of their ease of booking, fair price, friendly staff, and excellent guide. Will definitely be doing this again when back in the San Diego area.

AVOID MADISON THE TOUR GUIDE - I had a great time looking at the views. Everything would have been perfect if MADISON, was not the tour guide. I’ve never met someone for the first time to be as arrogant and stuck up. She specifically made the tour uncomfortable as she constantly rolled her eyes and gave dirty looks. She thought she was the funniest person ever constantly trying to make dumb jokes, and gave unnecessary condescending comments. She also ruined the snorkeling portion by not allowing guests to swim without a life jacket, even though every other group was able to. She was lazy and did not provide any facts relevant to the tour. At the end she tried to disregard safety measures by sending people in kayaks through waves without the beach crew being ready. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS. Other groups seemed to have great tour guides that were insightful and nice. If you go on this trip make sure to not go with MADISON. She will make you want to join another group so save time and join one before going with her.
