5.00The caves are beautiful and the staff is friendly. You will remain in the boat, so don’t expect to go to the beach.

5.00A great experience, efficiently run. The crew Pedro, Luana & Nicky were great and very informative. They got us very close to the dolphins without disturbing them & gave us a great close up tour of the caves and coastline on the way back. Highly recommended!
