The tour guide are really friendly and informative, they advise you on how to use the quads and make sure you know what you’re doing before setting off. The views were amazing, the food was great and the swim at the end was a nice stop to be able to cool off after being in the sun all day. The quads are so fun and it’s such an amazing experience.”
