# Kayak and Snorkle into the Hidden Caves and Secret Beaches

**Guidekin's take:** A beginner friendly kayak trip from São Rafael beach that adds a snorkel mask and a dry bag so you can get into the water at the caves, not just paddle past them. There is no transport to the beach and no food or drinks. 4.68 from 181 reviews at €32 per person for 2h.
