Small-group hiking in Tenerife’s UNESCO Anaga reserve: misty laurel forest, Teide views, and a scenic picnic for $122.
“Stunning scenery, friendly & knowledgable guide, small group, away from the crowds- The perfect day out! We were collected around the corner from our hotel in Costa Adeje by Alex our guide and collected the rest of the group en route to Anaga. Our first stop gave us an opportunity to explore the enchanted forest and learn about the different climates on the island. We then set off for our main hike- a circular route within Anaga. Alex’s route was fabulous with breathtaking scenery throughout. We were isolated away from tourists and able to enjoy the natural beauty all to ourselves. We particularly loved walking along the old waterways. Alex…”

“This was an absolutely magical and unforgettable experience! From the very beginning, we felt warmly welcomed and truly well taken care of. Everything was explained calmly and clearly, and every question we had was answered with patience. The guides were amazing – friendly, attentive, and very patient. They dived with us, looked after us throughout the experience, and allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. The underwater views are breathtaking, and the whole attraction is absolutely worth the price. I highly recommend it to everyone, even to those who may feel nervous about water. If I could give 10 stars, I would – but since the maximum is 5, I…”

Guided Masca Gorge hike from Santiago del Teide with a water-taxi ride to Los Gigantes. Small-group, organized tickets, 7 hours.
“Marie was an exceptional guide, always explaining things and communicating clearly. I’ve learned a lot about the plant life and geological phenomena in Masca gorge on this trip. Marie didn’t hurry anyone, but was setting a good pace, since there were other people scheduled after our own group. Accordingly, we didn’t see many people on the hike, which added to the atmosphere. Lots of time for taking pictures. Since it is now mandatory to use public busses, you’re dependent on them arriving on time, but that’s no fault of the agency. We’ve seen an amazing natural scenery and it was well worth our time.”

This is a once in a lifetime experience, and you should do it with this guide and not on your own, because of the rich history and care that he imparts to the experience. Beyond helpful and generous, caring, and knowledgeable. The hike is hard. Definitely must be an active person and bring good boots.”

“I'm petrified of being underwater whereas my husband loves all things scuba, when I had a few wines and suggested I 'might' be ok Diving on the Moon while we were in Los Cristianos, he jumped at the chance. We arrived to be met by the amazing, informative and knowledgeable team and while I was still nervous, they helped assure me. What can I say, 30 minutes later and we were on the sea bed swimming in our own fish tank, surrounded by beautiful shoals. I felt safe during the experience, excited as we were shown loads of snow fferebt sea creatures and utterly thrilled when we returned to the…”
