“This trip was wonderful! Whilst the first stop was a bit congested with boats and other people in the water, this was manageable and, I suppose to be expected in retrospect. It was entirely worth it when in the cave though! The beach stop at the end was superb. Busy enough for a fun feeling without being at all crowded. Ivan was the perfect guide, I cannot speak highly enough of him.”
