This was an amazing, very fun experience. Our guides, Sam and Kim, were great at teaching us everything we needed to know, and helped us soar through the skies. The views were beautiful and the air was fresh, and we wished the experience could last forever. I would highly recommend doing this awesome trip. It was very fun and there was no pressure, I think it is the kind of activity that is great for everyone.
