5.00Really very nice and fun excursion, especially thanks to the team that followed us and the 1000 cc Buggy. The island is very beautiful and with them you can see it from another side. I recommend it. Greetings to Clayton Nielen (I hope I wrote well) and Patrick Zig Zag..

5.002 hours worth the detour, for the landscapes crossed and for driving buggies (we do not do this every day in this setting). We find ourselves thinking we're a rally driver. It’s really a risk-free activity and brings a touch of originality to Sal’s relaxing and relaxing rhythm. To be included in a one-week program if you can afford it. Lots of fun, a little dust and a lot of fun.
It's okay.

5.00Such great fun! The guides were super attentive and checked for everyone's well-being and safety. The buggies are sturdy and robust, perfect for this wild tour. We were about 2.5h on the road and stopped in a stonedesert as well as at a very beautiful beach. It was a big bonus that we werer handed out protective suits, googles and helmets, which I haven't seen elsewhere.
