Small group of 7 on boat so lots of room. Enjoyed the scenery and going into and under the caverns. Some English descriptions but really about the views! We walked the area in the morning and so was great to see from the water in the afternoon!

Great experience! Excellent guide, Andres and captain Ricardo. Fun adventure to the caves and along the coastline filled with many historical facts. Great time for our entire group. The weather and coastline gorgeous!
