Неописуемые ощущения. Впервые катался на вездеходе, Хасану вообще низкий поклон, покатал и по лесу и по реке, огромное спасибо.

22.10.2025 нам посчастливилось попасть на экскурсию на болотоходах. Это было одно из самых запоминающихся событий нашего путешествия в Архыз. Мы получили массу впечатлений и эмоций. Местами адреналин зашкаливал, но опытные экскурсоводы всегда были рядом и помогали при необходимости. Было круто и весело. Техника очень хорошая, видно, что обслужена и ухожена. Шикарные виды и завораживающие маршруты. Мы остались очень довольны поездкой. Если удастся оказаться в вашем краю еще раз, первое, что сделаем, поедем с вами кататься. Спасибо большое за чудесное путешествие и положительные эмоции!
