Private, personalized rides
Each booking is for your group alone, offering an intimate guided ride tailored to your party rather than an open-group excursion—reservations are required to secure this private format.

Simple pricing and booking
Private rider rate is $100 per person for the one-hour ride; the operator recommends calling to confirm availability and to make reservations in advance.
