“We loved our tour! Our guide, Ivan was great. The company was fantastic at communication- our original booking got cancelled due to a boat error and they were very gracious and accommodating to switch us to an afternoon tour and were very easy to get ahold of via text. The caves are a must do! So incredibly stunning. Definitely ask for snorkels and pool noodles, it makes floating in the ocean so much easier and you definitely don’t want to miss snorkeling in the caves. We loved our experience and would highly recommend.”
