Thank you Juan for the great tour, very knowledgeable. This hike is not an easy hike, the conditions were hard with high winds. La Palma is a amazing island with amazing people. Great hiking experience, and great volcano experience as well!

The tour itself was well organised but parking was quite difficult with narrow streets and no space to park near the start of the venue
Thank you Juan for the great tour, very knowledgeable. This hike is not an easy hike, the conditions were hard with high winds. La Palma is a amazing island with amazing people. Great hiking experience, and great volcano experience as well!
We had the most interesting tour with our guide Juan (I think his name was). Even when my husband got challenged due to lack of medicine our guide was very helpful. The nature around the volcano is so beautiful and our guide had so many interesting things to tell us about the surroundings. Thank you so much. Next time we go to La Palma, we will definetely choose another tour with you.
The knowledge and communication of the lady guide
The unique surroundings
This was despite the mist only allowing us to see for say 100m
The driver Bebe made an interesting and impressive hiking tour with us. It was a lot of fun.

The hike is really great, not to mention the crazy beautiful scenery. But one should be aware of the following things:
1. Those (like us) who like to photograph will not have fun here. You learn an incredible amount about the origin of the island, but these lectures always take place in relatively boring places where there are few motives. You then run past the real spots, like a house half-swallowed by the lava.
2. You don't even have 5 minutes at the crater.
3. Less all lectures, less than 3 hours remain for 8 kilometers. For us it was pure hustle and bustle and did not give us the opportunity to take photos or really perceive this insanely mystical place.
If none of this is a problem, I can highly recommend the tour. For us, however, it was unfortunately completely inappropriate.

Die Wanderung war ein Höhepunkt unseres Urlaubs. Toll organisiert, sehr gute Kommunikation vorab. Wir hatten eine super und informative Führung durch Cynthia.
Die Gegend ist landschaftlich einmalig und die Wanderung ist auch für Ungeübte gut zu bewältigen. Wir haben diverse Pausen gemacht, bei denen uns Guide Steven sehr anschaulich Wissenswertes rund um den Vulkanausbruch und die Insel vermittelt hat. Auch zwischendurch hat er unsere Fragen beantwortet. Er war super nett und humorvoll. Die Gruppe hatte eine gute Größe und es hat viel Spaß gemacht.
Wir hatten die Tour für 12.00 Uhr gebucht mit deutschsprechendem Reiseführer. Die Tour fand dann um 10.00 Uhr auf spanisch und englisch statt. Die Führerin war nett, hat sich aber meistens mit ihrem Kollegen auf spanisch unterhalten.
Excursion obligada para ver de cerca el Tajogaite y su efecto en el paisaje y la población de La Palma. Muy buen guía que explico todo con detalle
