- Excursion313610941060 contributionsAnd a great time was had by allThe youngest being 73, and we had a great experience. Don't be put off by the meeting place Google Maps brings you to, because there's no building there, they just set up on the beach. The staff is really great - friendly, funny and informative. The guide was very patient as some people in our group of 10 were slower than others. But, there was still plenty of time to explore and have a great time. I do recommend that you try to stay up with the guide as their voice may not carry well when the wind is blowing. They have great info to give on the geography and the wildlife.Written 16 March 2024

Nice tour
While the tour was nice and the guide was excellent, the e-bike was a bit hard to get off and on, for a short person. The cross bar is high, and I'm short, although taller then the 5'2" required.

Can you bring your own ebike
Robert M
Do you rent helmets? I would prefer to have one so if you don't I will bring one.
Thank you!
Looking forward to it!

What brand of e-bike is this? Can I pedal myself as well? Can I bring my own bike at my own risk?
