we are on the speedboat and made our first stop to do the canoeing, luckily we did that because of the tide and we are able to canoeing inside the caves. the guide are extremely enthusiastic about his work as a guide and it's a plus point. BJ canoeing is one of the better operators in my own opinion. kudos to their staff

So fun day trip, the staff on the boat were so friendly and kind, they even put up an entertainment for us on the way back! Our tour guide James is so funny and kind. Thank you for everything! This company is great, i highly recommend booking with them! As for the spots, very beautiful to take pictures and enjoy nature. Although this tour is not for swimming, we only had a 30 minutes or something time to swim, so it is mostly to enjoy attractions.
