Please note that the duration and itinerary of the activity depend on weather conditions. Due to unforeseen meteorological occurrences, your itinerary might be shorter or take a different path than usual for your safety.

Since wildlife is unpredictable, their presence is never guaranteed.

Note that you might get hot during the trip, so if you have a backpack, it's a good idea to take it with you. During the journey, you can put the extra layers there, and when having a snack break, put them on.
