I think would like to know..do visitors bring themselves their bouncy boats for those tours ?! Or there’s a company on place which supplies them!?

Shatili is unreal, especially early summer when the grass is neon green like in your photo. The road up isn’t crazy but having your own car helps a lot. I rented mine through WeRent when I went and it made the whole loop way easier.
