    Great trip with Viktor and David — they cared for us like family. Communication before the tour was clear and professional, and pick-up was on time. We were 14, from age 7 to 69. The hike was fine, though a bit tough for my mom, but one guide kindly stayed with her. We learned about volcanoes, tasted local specialties, and the sunset was amazing. Well organized, family-friendly, highly recommended! Tip: take motion sickness pills if needed.

    Fantastische dag! Prachtige tocht gemaakt, super gidsen, lekker gegeten in het restaurant en mooie vergezichten. Helaas door het zand in de lucht niet helder en geen mooie zonsondergang, maar toch prachtige dag gehad. Wel een pittig klimmetje naar de grotten als alternatief. De andere hike was niet mogelijk, maar dit was een prima alternatief!

    Die beiden Guides Celeste und David haben mit der Gruppe einen perfekten Tag erlebt. Man konnte die Schönheit der Natur und großartige Ausblicke genießen, welche man am Strand nicht mitbekommen kann. Es wurde alles sehr gut erklärt und man hat viele Informationen zur Insel und den Bewohnern erfahren. Es gab ein leckeres Essen und guten Austausch. Der Transfer und die zeitliche Planung waren gut organisiert. Obwohl alles auf Englisch erfolgte, war es verständlich, wobei 6 Nationen dabei waren.

    Traveled as a couple

    Het was echt een super leuke ervaring. De guides hebben de hele dag hun best gedaan om het iedereen naar de zin te maken en de mooiste foto’s van iedereen te maken. Ook veel leuke feitjes over het eiland te weten gekomen. Wel genoeg water meenemen voor de hike. Ook leuk om tussendoor bij de proeverij wat te kopen bij de lokale mensen. De hike is lichtelijk zwaar maar niet voor al te lang en goed te doen. Het is het uitzicht waard!
