    The trip is well worth it. They take you around the coast and the different caves while they tell you interesting and funny facts about them. Also, we loved that the boat jumped over the waves and they let us swim in the sea. The worst part of the experience is if someone gets seasick next to you and throws up, but that's not the company's fault. 🤢🤮😖
