Excellent experience
We have embarked on this experience again, after 13 years since we have been here the first time. And it is simply excellent. The staff professional, funny, it is really obvious, that they enjoy what they are doing. All the time felt safe and that the guides have everything under control. All in all, really enjoyed the ride and would do that happily again.
