The Reviews Are In...
"Not to be Missed"
By OnieJoy
What an awe-inspiring adventure! Every step of the excursion was conducted by professional, fun and helpful people. The feeling of kayaking in such a beautiful place is indescribable. All levels of kayaking experience welcome. After the adventure (bald eagles, salmon and starfish were seen on our trip) the crew surprised us with a delicious homemade treat! I totally recommend this trip!
"One of My Favorite Excursions Ever"
By Micki
One of my favorite excursions ever. It was a fantastic trip through the cave. They rowed you through while shining a light on the stalagmites and stalactites. Just beautiful. You can hear and see the bats. I highly recommend this excursion.
“The Icing on the Cake”
By Caren L.
Our butler service upgrade was amazing. Monica met us at our stateroom and led the seven of us through transfer to a tender and onto the island. My daughter uses a walker/cane and she quickly had a jeep there to transport us down to the cabana. From that point on, all she did was help... Monica is the best! The island, cabana and food were fabulous, but Monica is the icing on the cake!
