You are given sufficient time at each of the locations. The driver of the boat and guide were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, during my trip, we were unable to see the blue cave, for safety reasons. In fairness we were brought to see the green cave, which is another cave in the area. This did make up for missing the blue cave. I would highly recommend this trip, if you are staying…”
