Once we got there, our guide provided us with a full safety briefing and ensured us that we were in safe hands. The route is very very fun and you get to experience riding on smooth surfaces but also rocky ones, giving you an all round experience. When we were on a break, we were provided with water bottles which was very nice. 10/10 would recommend especially with a group of friends who love adrenaline!Read more”
