“The cave is great and a nice casual activity for an afternoon. The snorkelling in our case was cancelled due to weather conditions so cannot comment on that. The stop on the way back for a picture was nice but doesn't need a tour other than for transportation, but the guide did not join us for the walk up to the viewpoint or add commentary. It's a nice short tour to get out and get involved for an afternoon and I would recommend it for that.”
