The canyoneering is a absolute must. We had the best time and it’s definitely a highlight of our whole trip thanks to our guide making the experience even better. We had Jenise as a personal guide to us two and he was great. Other members of the group for the day made us all late and we ended up missing out on the sardine run. No fault to the organisers and we resolved the issue with a partial refund. So trust this company to make things right for you. Highly recommended

Our guide Junest Embornas made the tour a delightful experience! He was kind, helpful, friendly and well informed. Junest also knows so many people and is appreciated by everyone. He let us sleep in the car as we were awake from 3 am, drove us from one place to another, to get drinks, food and even dropped us at a different location to help us with the trip. Chatty, smiley and happy to help! What else could we ask for! 😊 totally recommended.
