“This was a wonderful morning hike. I did not find the hike difficult, but future hikers should know the pathway is uneven, there are many stairs and one small tunnel about 250ft long (for those claustrophobic). It's important that people wear proper foot gear, not sandals and take a full bottle of water. The view is beautiful, and the hike can be completed in 25-40 mins to the top, depending on how many stops you take for photos.”

“This trip was amazing mainly due to Stephanie, our tour guide, being so magical! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the whole island, had fun movie trivia in every location, and overall made the whole experience fantastic. My husband and I agree that if there was any other tour in the world, no matter how mundane, if Stephanie was the tour guide we'd be there. Additionally, the sights this tour affords (as well as fun mini sightseeing thanks to Stephanie's recommendations) are perfect, and for such a reasonable price! I highly recommend taking this tour, as I don't think you'll see the island the same way!”
