“Corey and Matt were awesome guides! The tour description has zip lining, rock climbing and rappelling, but only included the three challenge parts and the 6 zip lines. So be aware the tour didn’t include everything for some reason. The tour guides were great but it is slow moving… we enjoyed the scenery and such but tour description needs to be updated and be aware that there is a lot of standing around waiting.”
