Good to know

Service animals allowed
Specialized infant seats are available
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Take in consideration that the land rover is a vintage car, built for the mountains but not for comfort- some parts of the ride can be uncomfortable.
Some of the seats of the jipe are not faced forward, and for taller travellers you might have the feeling that you are cramped.
If you have car sickness you should take medication before the tour or bring with you on the tour.
The paths are downhill and uphill, terrain can be slippery and you might need to scramble over some rocks.
The itinerary can be altered to make the best of the what the National Park has to offer.
We need to know in advance any food restriciton or mobility restriction.
