Yes, it is a family-friendly experience! However, please note that it involves a full day of travel, so we recommend it for children who are comfortable with longer excursions.
We recommend bringing sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, a camera, and a bottle of water. Since the jeep is open-top, a light windbreaker is also a great idea.
