Customer Reviews

Warning - if you are hearing impaired or deaf, make sure they know in advance. They have to clear the track and make you follow a car, if you are driving. Some staff do not know about this accommodation and will hassle you about it.
Great adventure. Excellent experience. Would do it again.
