Vraiment sympa

Le guide était vraiment sympa et rassurant et professionnel, une bonne expérience même pour les gens un peu apeuré, le prix des photos est un peu chère je recommande donc de bien charger sa GoPro ... Et également d'avoir un plastron pour mettre la GoPro, seul chose qu'il autorise, après ils les louent pour 5$
