Absolutely fantastic!
We're beginners, and this first experience was absolutely amazing (2 adults and 2 teenagers). Everyone was thrilled, which is saying something!
Étienne, our guide, gave clear instructions with genuine enthusiasm. Just a heads-up about the initial shower—it's not for the faint of heart! 😜😜😜😜😜
