Good to Know

• This tour requires a minimum of 2 guests per Jeep to operate. Each Jeep holds up to 7 guests. Book a second Jeep for 8-14 people.
• Guests get in and out of the Jeep several times on the tour to partake in short nature walks or hikes. Accommodations are availble for guests with limited mobility with advance notice.
• This tour is not recommended for guests seeking a rugged adventure. The Jeeps go slowly and while it can be bumpy at times, this is not a thrill ride.
• Guests who are pregnant (3rd trimester or high-risk) or who have neck or back issues or injuries should consult with their doctor before taking the tour or request to ride in the front passenger seat, which provides the smoothest ride.
• CHILD POLICY: No unaccompanied minors. The minimum recommended age for children on this tour is 5 years. The Jeeps cannot secure infant car seats but can accommodate a child booster seat (supplied by the guest and secured by a 2-point seat belt in the back of the Jeep).
