Gliding around and through turquoise-hued, marble formations in a kayak? Doesn’t get much better than that.

Aside from noting its a 20-30 minutes paddle to the caves and that you have 1.5 to 2 hours to explore the caves and a couple of other marble structures, I’ll let the photos speak for themselves.
