“Taking part in this experience was the best thing I've ever done. There are no words to describe the experience except for it was exactly what I hoped for. Completely hands on, dig in the dirt, try not to cut yourself fun. The instructors were extremely kind and patient. They have a wealth of knowledge and were more than willing to pass it on to anyone who asked. Everything was planned and still they didn't hesitate to help us live in the moment and chase after some obscure mushroom. 100% would do it again, no regrets.”
