A Must-Try Cave Kayaking Adventure!
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on this Cave Kayaking adventure, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience! The 7-mile exploration through the St Herman's Cave system to the Nohoch Che'en Archeological Reserve was nothing short of breathtaking. I highly recommend for thrill-seekers!

The tour is true to its name - the ULTIMATE cave kayaking tour!
We had a blast on this tour! If you are an adventure-seeker, then this tour is for you! We explored the St. Herman's Cave System and the Caves Branch Cave System on our soft-shell kayaks and the caves were stunning! Definitely a must-do!

The BEST caving experience we had!
My friends and I were looking for some adventurous caving experiences and we came across Going Coastal. We then found out that despite not being so popular, this was only because they had changed their name, but they have been in operation for over a decade. We ended up booking 2 tours with them and Francis was our guide for the cave kayaking tour. The experience and knowledge he has of his ancestors ... more is incredible! This tour was the highlight of our inland caving adventures to be honest. We kayaked 7 miles starting from the Hummingbird and exited where cruise ship does tubing (was pretty cool to be in a kayak and not in a tube, lol). The portage was moderate and the kayaks were light to carry through this section and comfortable to kayak in. Overall an amazing tour. Thank you Francis and Oscar for such an experience!
