We did see the colours dancing across the sky. The huts were welcome with the fire, hot drinks, snacks and tables. Even some games to play if you wanted to. The Tee-pee was good roasting marshmallows too. Hosts were informative and helpful especially with camera settings. Tripods were provided as were folding chairs. A great tour!”
