Great value and well worth it.

Published on Dec, 2024

The views from the top were outstanding - even though the full hike was unaccessible. Michael was a fantastic guide.

Good shuttle service

Published on Dec, 2024

Operator was responsive to questions and detailed with pickup instructions. The shuttle driver was prompt, friendly, and seemed genuinely excited to be there. Hike is straightforward enough a guided tour isn’t really needed so with the shuttle drivers guidance we felt more than comfortable with the trip on our own. Great way to experience the hike.

Great company, great hike!

Published on Nov, 2024

Great communication from the company from start to finish. As most of the PR1 trail is still closed, we were informed of the different options for the hike ahead of time. We chose to do part of PR1 that is accessible and the PR3 trail. Our driver, Michael, was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about the island and provided recommendations for trips, food etc. He gave us a really good talk on where the hikes were, best sunrise spot and where we were being picked up. The hike is still worth going to experience, even though part of it is closed. We were given plenty of time to complete both hikes. Highly recommend this company, they were great!

East tour

Published on Oct, 2024

Renato was a fantastic guide. knowledgeable, funny, and always ready to meet our requests. Highly recommend!

Worth it

Published on Oct, 2024

We appreciated the caring of Elisabeth…. Since the booking, she took care of us by sending us updates and important information! The hike PR1 was closed but the company came up with an alternative program either doing the open part of the hike or suggested an other hike. Driver was cautious and knowledgeable. Despite the crowd up there we found our spot. I can recommend the tour
