Kai was our tour guide, and she was awesome! From her humor to her plethora of knowledge, you're in for a treat if she ends up being your guide! The tour wasn't drawn out, but it was long enough to give us a great experience and give us the juicy details of background, lore, facts, and sightings/activity. I would go back to attend the extended version of the tour!

Great time
