This wonderful hike with many great views, with beautiful and funny experiences with the goats, with interesting information about the country and its people, with a friendly group will remain in our memories very well. A big thank you to Kristina, you are doing great! Have fun and continued success. We were inspired by you, feel richly gifted. Goodbye!

Great experience walking with the goats. They are trusting, so that you can stroke them and always have them around. But they are not “trained” at all, they have their own mind, which shows that they are given their freedom and are doing well. Annemarie was with us and showed a lot of information about the animals, but also the island itself. A really great morning that I can recommend to every animal lover.

A wonderful tour in which you learn a lot about Fuerteventura. The time when hiking with the goats flies by and in the end you don't want to part with the goats anymore. Even the snack is wonderful and she has thought of everything. All round a terrific excursion and warmly recommended.
