What the three hours feel like
The outing begins with equipment fitting, a keepsake photo and a brief on kayak handling; a guide assists entry to the water. On arrival at the cave the group lands, uses headlamps supplied by the operator to enter the carved interior and observe extraction features and a former water‑storage area. Returning to the kayaks, participants swap to snorkel gear for a swim among the reserve’s fish, then enjoy a small aperitivo and bottled water before paddling back to the beach.
