Amazing flight! - Amazing trip. Highly recommended to book this tour. Chris was a very knowledgeable guide of the area… and very aware of the conditions to go. He suggested delaying our trip due to weather in the area… once the rain past… we had a fantastic time. There is so much to see! Thank you Chris!

Must do - Would highly recommend, tour provider was fantastic. Very kind and had great communication. They gave a safety briefing prior to getting on board (which has never happened on the other 4 tours I've taken before).
