“This is a Maui must! Des, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! 3 waterfalls, cliff jumping, with lunch included made for a perfect day! Your feet will get wet, wear shoes with a good grip, as the rocks are slippery in areas. The hike itself is not hard. Couple spots where you have to navigate some rock formations, but nothing difficult. Book it and take your friends!”

I contacted them as soon as we were notified which was 15 minutes inside the 24 hour window. They booked us on a later tour without contacting us for approval and sent the info by email which we did not see until we returned to our room later in the day.

“Our tour guide was super insightful and made sure our tour was comfortable! Sights and stops on the tour were amazing! Since we were strapped for time, wished our tour guide was more enforceable about the meeting time. There were too many instances where we had to wait for others because they missed our departure time. We understand it’s the holiday season, but when the rest of the tour is already at the bus, it’s rude and you’re wasting the time of others and the bus driver. We know that none of it was our tour guide fault but the company should consider enforcing a rule. Overall we would recommend…”

Oki was a highly knowledgeable guide who spoke brilliant English and shared fascinating insight into forest healing plants during our rainforest walk. The beautiful lake crossing by small row boat and visits to the temples were beautiful highlights. On the long drive back, we travelled through a dramatic wet-season downpour with rolling thunder and beautiful fork lightning, and Bagus handled it all with complete confidence — a very safe driver with a great sense of humour. Together, Bagus and Oki provided a seamless, enriching experience that felt personal and well cared for from start to…”

Only feedback would be that the transport was a bit cramped (especially for men who are a bit taller) but it’s not a deal breaker as the transfer is short.”

Absolutely beautiful scenery and a very enjoyable hike with some lovely people and the very charismatic Alex as our guide. Alex is very knowledgeable and passionate about the region and it was an absolute pleasure to spend time in his company. The hike itself was quite demanding in terms of the terrain but that made it even more interesting.

“The trip was extremely well organised with great communication before hand. Massimo collected us at the pick up point on time and was an excellent guide thoughout. He was very friendly and knowlegable, pointing out lots of interesting plants and fungi along the way. He showed consideration for everyone in our fairly large group and even carried all our snacks and some extra clothing (as it was very cold on the hike today). We had a wonderful adventure exploring the hills and forest above Masca. The views of Mount Teide and surrounding area were amazing. I would highly recomend this trip and the company for guided hikes in Tenerife”
