Reviews
Très bonne activité et moins cher que l’hélicoptère. Un hublot chacun est à disposition ce qui permet de bien voir. Nous étions seulement 4 c’était parfait. Notre pilote a été très sympa.
It was horrible my wife got sick from pregnancy and they took our money with no refund no type of help! They didn’t care about her health just wanted their money. I asked for a refund or another ticket for the future and neither was done.
Awesome
