We moved two other plans to fit this in and it was the right call. Turned out to be the thing we talked about all the way home.
Great day, slightly rushed at the end
Everything up to the last stop was perfect. The final hour felt compressed — an extra thirty minutes would have made it a five.

Thank you! It was a pleasure showing you around — come back in the cooler season and we'll take you further out.
Our guide made it
Genuinely knowledgeable and happy to go off-script when we asked questions. Answered things we didn't know to ask.
