Most operators meet at Lagos Marina at the gate for boat trips (often near Amuras Bar); arrive at least 15 minutes early.
Skippers aim to navigate into cave mouths when sea conditions allow—however access depends on tide, swell and safety considerations, so entry is not guaranteed.
Many private boat tours welcome children and service animals; check operator policy for non-service pets and life jacket availability for young children.
Most short private tours are pass-by and do not include beach stops; longer charters may allow swimming—confirm in advance if you want to disembark or swim.
