Cave entry depends on the sea, and the RIB is closed to pregnant travellers and spine problems. 4.91 from 5306 reviews at €33 per person. **Best overall:** Why it ranks first: 4.91 from 5306 reviews at €33 per person, the largest proof base here, and you choose a catamaran or a RIB. A swim stop is part of the route. Trade-off: Cave entry and the swim depend on the sea.
