How it works
Book and pay on its website, with a calendar of dates. The departure time changes with sunset and arrives on your ticket. The viewpoint is chosen each night according to clouds and wind. If the company cancels because of the weather, it offers another date and, if that is not possible, refunds the money. The phone is answered Monday to Friday mornings; outside those hours, email or WhatsApp.
