The experiences on both islands were great! Being that it was a large group, it was a bit hectic and difficult to hear the guide. Overall good, but seemed a bit disorganized… at no fault of the guide but just overall a lot of people to coordinate.

It was fun! VR experience could have also been done as a general TV movie video… still cool regardless.
