Matthew was extremely knowledgeable about our hike. He also had quite the stories about the island and offered suggestions for dining and shopping. We wish we had more time as we would have liked to do the waterfall hike.

Good hike

Clear communication before and during the excursion. Pickup was easy, activity as described. Driver (Diogo) was very informative.

Breathtaking and worth it

Tommy was out pickup and he was amazing. The hike itself was beautiful and worth every bit of exertion to get to the top. The views were breathtaking and we even got to experience a rainbow, a little rain and sunshine, all at the same time. Highly recommend this excursion.

Awsome driver, shuttle was on time as promised. Driver was funny and seamed to really enjoy his job. He pointed out several interesting facts on the route. He returned at the exact time to pick us up. Keep up the great job
