Si el agua está calmada genial pero a veces dan ráfagas de viento y a mi tía y a mí nos volcó el kayak y nadie nos ayudó, ni se dieron cuenta y porque pude nadar hasta el kayak sino ahí nos quedábamos en medio del mar sin nadie q nos socorriese. Asiq ir con el agua un poco regular mal, pero con el agua calmada muy bn puedes ir a las cuevas y todo.”
