Important Tour Information
Before you sign up for this thrill ride, there are a few essential details you need to know to avoid any, ahem, ‘misadventures’ on the trails.

And, yeah, you’ll need to provide your passport details too (no, it’s not a trap, we promise).
Oh, and if you’re pregnant or have back problems, maybe reconsider – this ride isn’t for the faint of heart.
