Driver Matt was a very nice, professional, and dedicated person. The journey was long, but the scenery along the way was beautiful. The total trip took 12 hours, which was a bit long, but well worth the trip.
Taking a steamboat ride was a novel experience, and we were lucky to have booked an afternoon session, allowing us to enjoy both afternoon and evening views. The farm has many adorable sheep, yaks, and highland cattle, and the guide provided a very thorough explanation of the farm's history and local ecology. After the tour, we enjoyed afternoon tea at the gift shop; the black tea was delicious! Ken, the working dog at the farm show, was loyal and excellent, perfectly organizing the sheep—he was incredibly cute!
On April 22nd, the first group at 7:30 AM had excellent weather and successfully completed their 15,000-foot skydive. The instructors were very encouraging, which made me feel at ease. Buying the photo package is definitely worthwhile and I would recommend it to everyone.
