Our group was comprised of folks that have paddled together for years so we really appreciated our Guide adjusting the pace to suit the group so we could cover a good bit of water. Explored a half dozen caves or so on an absolutely perfect night. Flat water. No wind. The Glo Worms were fascinating. Great time in a beautiful setting.
