This tour is done in dangerous conditions (even in very high winds) and is used by the tour operator to sell people their gear from the store.

So much fun! Robbie Trevor and JT were great. Definitely bring a bathing suit and plan for a wet suit. A great adventure and would highly recommend

My friend and I loved seeing all of the different sea creatures and going into the cave! The state of the swells during your tour will depend on whether or not you can enter the cave, not the weather. Our tour guides were also awesome and provided great info about the area!

This was an amazing adventure! My two kids and I went out for a special day together and we decided to do this. Being 3 of us, kids ages 8 and 13 made it a bit challenging. Thankfully, Danielle one of our tour guides paddled with my daughter. It was amazing. Like she had her own private guide. JT was a guide too! He jumped into the water and help to guide the our boats into the caves. We saw leopard sharks and my daughter saw a sea turtle! I highly recommend this tour service. Especially if it’s with Danielle and JT!

Beautiful tour, Trevor was very knowledge and shared interesting info and facts on the local area and wildlife. The sea save was fascinating. Very enjoyable

I was a bit disappointed because in the pictures, it looks like you get to go inside the caves a bit, but we just saw the caves at a distance. Also, because of the waves, you need to "kayak surf" into the beach with a high chance of toppling over and falling into the water - which is fine but then they don't offer even towels for people to dry off. Instead you need to pay $18 to BUY a towel...

Everyone involved was so friendly and helpful. You could tell they love what they do. Our guides were Robbie and Gerardo. Perfect weather lots of wildlife. Would definitely recommend. 5 out of 5 stars!

We had a great tour today with james! Awesome tour! Got to see so many sea lions and birds. Loved the cave! Thank you for a great experience!

Trevor and Caitlin were our guides. They were knowledgeable and super nice! They answered all sorts of questions and explained all about the Leopard sharks, Girabaldi and kelp as well as the lime and sand stone cliffs. We went out to the Caves (which are a little underwhelming) and I only wish we'd had more time to explore the preserve.
