Booked this for my partner as it was his birthday and he really wanted to do this. We opted for the 1000cc buggy and he enjoyed it very much! I remained passenger throughout the entire thing and can’t lie, parts of it were terrifying haha! The guide was great, the stops were so nice and we got picked up and dropped off at our hotel which made the experience a lot easier! We loved it thank you!
