From pick up to drop off these guys were fantastically friendly, great craic and any questions answered (no matter how silly). The experience offers some amazing views that give both sites a completely different perspective than just walking around. If you’ve never been in a helicopter before, don’t worry, it’s probably the smoothest helicopter ride I’ve ever had, highly recommended

Great mix of activities: Cultural Centre, walk to cave paintings and waterhole, wine and nibbles and sunset viewing, (although due to stormy weather and complete cloud cover we didn’t get to see an actual sunset). Guides were very good and very knowledgeable.

We really enjoyed the tour, John and Jakob made it extra special with their good sense of humour and overall kindness. The landscape is absolutely amazing and you just feel awed of such Beauty. So majestic!!

Very amusing and informative guide. Made for an enjoyable afternoon

The activity is a must! Have an empty belly. The food is amazing.
