Inclement weather turned into an exciting adventure. - This was an amazing experience. We had great communication leading up to the excursion. Prompt pick up at our hotel. The day of our trip also saw some unseasonable inclement weather but the tour lead, John, knew how to pivot and make sure we got the most out of our day. Thank you!

Not good - Something came up and I had to fly home early so I cancelled a day before and got no refund or even partial. Disappointing
