- Dawn R. from San Diego, CA - TripAdvisor"We thoroughly enjoyed the three-hour tour put on by Beth. We were able to ride off-road, visit beautiful coves, observe several Bison, deer, & a bald eagle in flight. The island is so much more than Avalon. I appreciated that the money we paid for the tour goes back into the preservation efforts."
