The day started with a lovely camel ride, followed by a delicious breakfast, and then an amazing hike with truly breathtaking views. As a final we had tasty lunch with traditional food! Our guide, Lahcen , was outstanding — incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and patient. He explained everything along the way, always made sure we were comfortable, and waited for everyone so no one felt rushed. Thanks to him, we enjoyed every single second of the experience. This trip is 100% worth every cent. Don’t hesitate to book it — you won’t regret it!”

I was initially worried if I would be able to keep up but Erick made sure we all were good. I actually did well…I think haha. The hike it self is very tiring, very steep incline but that’s it. There’s no climbing or any other physical activity needed. I truly appreciate our guide Erick as from the start, he was very prompt. He arrived exactly on time and kept great communication with me. My friend with me struggled with the hike and Erick kept…”

Join a small group of up to 14 with guides such as Juan, Diego, Alex, or Victor for a six-hour hike from Boca de Tomatlán to Playa Las Ánimas. Expect jungle trails, six beaches, swimming, possible snorkeling, local buses, and a water taxi.

“Juan was a great guide. He went above and beyond to explain some details that would have otherwise been overlooked, such as certain types of trees and vegetation. The hike wasn't too difficult - terrain at the beginning was a bit tricky to navigate at times but overall, it didn't take too much physical effort. Some of the beaches were better than others, there are three very scenic ones which are great for taking pictures. If you are taking this trip for snorkeling - pay close attention to the tide. We were unable to do that aspect because of the tide was too high. Overall would recommend...great value-for-money.”

Deeit was an excellent guide providing us very information from the time we left Beijing and during the 4hr walk. Flavoursome lunch was provided which meant we didn’t need to do a separate food tour. This tour company provides excellent directions for one to get to meeting point. Best to take Subway as taxis get caught in traffic.

Amazing views, relaxing hike with very pleasing challenges and an opportunity to swim in a cristal clear water. The guide was very knowledgeable, explained a lot about flora and fauna of the ‘Madeiran tail’ and let everyone walk at their own pace. We also had plenty of personal time - something I haven’t seen with other tours. Highly recommended”
