5.00Thanks Stig (and Sebastian) for sharing your ‘back garden’, as well as a bit of life, with us - we had a great time. We’re glad we both went solo and thanks for being patient at the outset. Love the small group ethos - it’s much more personal.

3.00If your looking for speed and excitement then don't use this tour company!! The owner took us and even when speed limit was 40 we only hit 22-26 kph he refused to go any faster, all the equipment was spot on just a shame the trip wasnt as good, owner even tried the hard sell to get us onto 2 different skimoblies rather than the 1 that was booked
