Filipe was a great driver, very safe, and very friendly. He explained the walk to us at the start very well and met us back at the starting point for pick up, giving a good amount of time to see all the parts of the walk and stop for a drink. He also suggested a little view up a slight hill which was brilliant. The walk itself was easy enough to just follow the signs, take water and snacks as you will need the energy for the uphill climb back. But a beautiful walk.
Pedro was excellent, friendly, talked about the island. Highly recommend. There was enough time from drop off to hike both and pick up. He gave good advice.
Great direction from our guide- easy walk and not too crowded that day - good communication from the company
Very nice and safe driver. I felt well taken care of. Anytime gladly again.
The trip to the start of the hike was smooth and we got clear instructions from our driver Diago on how to begin the walk and the plan for pick up. He was really friendly and punctual. Great communication throughout the whole process!The hike itself was so beautiful despite zillions of steps! Would use this company again.
Hike was really enjoyable. Lots of stairs (unsurprisingly) but that’s par for the course here. I personally enjoyed the view at PR6.1 more. Pick up was prompt and Pedro gave us lots of information and also lots of food recommendations on the way back.
Its a nice hike but can get seriously crowded. I therefore recommend to go as early as possible.
Lovely hike. Loads of stairs and going up - going down. Would recommend hiking before. Also: when you reach the waterfalls take enough pics it’s something else
Great trip amazing driver lots of knowledge and we didn't get lost Very easy to find but hard on my 60 year old legs
At first, I wasn't so excited about getting up at 5am to do this hike but it turned out to be a great call! This hike is very popular, and we could see the crowds building up when we were leaving. To be there when there were few others on the trail was very enjoyable. And don't skip the Risco waterfall - I actually thought it was more impressive than the 25 Fountains. Also, make sure to have a raincoat. Clouds can get stuck in the mountains, making the weather a bit unpredictable--but don't let it stop you!
