5 star rating: Highly Recommended August 2016

It was Great. Our tour guide Chad picked us up from our hotel and took us to where the base was. We got on the ATV and #39;s shortly after, they were easy to ride full auto. We road for approx 2 hours on rough terrain which was fun. The walking tour of the mine was good to see very informative. Recommended!
