Great Guide Stunning Views

First of, Julia was an absolutely wonderful guide. Very patient and helpful especially as this was my first ever kyak experience. I will say that might be a lot if it's your first time, especially the way back from the cave. I am sore but it was one for the memory books and bucket list. The views are priceless.
