The meeting place is a storefront that you can rent a locker for $8 at. The lockers are square but enough to fit shoes, a change of clothes and a small bag. There are changing rooms there and a bathroom. You can also purchase sunglass savers (recommend) and waterproof phone pouches. You will walk down the street in your helmet and life jacket (you will need to leave flip flops at the beach, unless you have shoes with a back strap). In your kayak you are guided into the water and pushed over the first few waves. From there you will follow your guide to sets of caves and sometimes the swim along and guide you into the cave, before kayaking back. This is a heavy shoulder workout, as you are fighting against currants and waves. We saw seals, pelicans, cormorants and sharks. Going into the caves were fun, nether are very deep. This was a great experience and I recommend it.
The guides made everyone feel safe. They were the most organized group out there. They were helpful and stayed with the caboose of the group. The cave experience is amazing as we were there during summer - thanks for a great day!!!
Addison and Maya were great guides! They explained everything well and pointed out wildlife! They helped us navigate the cave and were watchful at all times. The water was calm on this day and easy to navigate with their guidance. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
Big shout out to Brody and Annalise - extremely knowledgeable guides with lots of energy (funny too). Cheers guys, was very fun and a great workout 💪
Amanda was great, HBK kept group small...but too many other large tour groups kept overwhelming us and taking over whatever we were doing. We were only 5 boats, other groups had approximately 20 boats each, and it wasn't just one, it was 2 to 3 other groups all trying to get the experience at the same time.
We had an awesome experience- it was easy to book and find, and our tour guides, Alex and Yussien were fantastic. They were knowledgable, kind and funny and made everything very comfortable. We had an amazing day and such a fantastic afternoon! We expected more cave experience based on the ads, but overall my kids, parents and I loved it.
I went on the Sea Cave Kayak Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it! The guides were so knowledgeable, helpful and fun, we felt comfortable from beginning to end. Alex and Addison were top notch! Would recommend this adventure to anyone looking to get on the water to have some fun!
Best day ever 😍😍😍 such a nice team, totally recommended
My experience was very lovely. I got extremely tired towards the end, but it was very worth it. They were very informative about everything that they were showing us while out on the water. They were very patient with all the participants and they adjusted based on skill level. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I will be recommending this to all of my friends and family that could do this. And I will probably be doing this again in the Future.
This tour was so fun! Kayaking in the ocean is epic all by itself, then paired with going into the caves was amazing. The water was a little choppy on the day we went out, so we couldn't see much marine life, but it was worth it! Definitely a bucket list item checked - highly recommend! The tour guides were fantastic!
