“This excursion was an absolute blast! From start to finish, it was fun, adventurous, and full of laughter. One of the highlights was the epic water fight — we had so much fun and felt like kids again! Everyone was smiling, soaked, and completely in the moment. It truly added a playful, unforgettable touch to the day. What made the experience even better was the incredible staff. Mustafa, Hassan, Ziad, and Emil were all fantastic — kind, fun, and incredibly entertaining. They kept the energy high, made everyone feel welcome, and made sure we were having the best time possible. It was worth every penny spent. I’d do it all…”

“Places are indeed very scenic but organisation could be better. Timing at the cave was less which was challenging as it was very long. We wasted unnecessary time at a shop for no reason, the tour guide was busy with photographs but then lunch was served at 4.00 pm in afternoon when everyone was hungry which was disappointing.”

Je kan of een buggy of een quad tour doen maar wij kozen voor de buggy. De buggy’s waren wel erg nat maargoed dit kan de pret niet drukken want vies word je evengoed wel. Tip! Neem een bandana en zonnebril mee en evt wat extra kleding en een handdoek. Je word namelijk best wel vies van alle modder en zand. Je doet 2 rondjes, eerst rechts om en dan links om. Rechts om is…”
