Hi Muckpuk, yes a fantastic and unforgettable experience - unfortunately, I was only on the island for a couple of hours. Next time I'll stay for longer! A guide managed to take me on an extended walk but the only dragons spotted were on the periphery of the ranger station - not sure that was fortunate or unfortunate! :)
