It was the best! The air in the morning and the sky before dawn were very beautiful, and the view from the top was wonderful. Wallabies can also be seen. The guide was in English, so there were some parts I didn't understand, but it was still good. Confirmation emails will be sent in English several times in advance, so don't miss them.
