Hidden Beach Hike - It was definitely a hike, but great. Juan made the day awesome regardless of how much we were sweating. The trail and beaches are a hidden gem. Definitely recommend.

Stunning views, great hike - I would highly recommend this tour to people who like to hike, enjoy nature and beautiful hidden beaches, and who do not mind a bit of a challenge. The trail varies from easy in the beginning and towards the end, but difficult during a few stretches, having to climb up and down big boulders a few times. If you have mobility issues, it's probably not for you. The beaches are amazing, especially the first one. Our guide, Armando was great! Very friendly, engaging and fun. He kept us entertained the entire tour.

Be prepared for different terrain and sun. - We took a bus from PV and got off at the end of the line. Hiked 3-4 miles that are probably rated hard on AllTrails. It was a great hike! We only ate at Las Animas (the final beach stop) and had no beach time. From there we took a boat to the bus stop and it took about 40 minutes to get back into PV. It was a long day, but worth it. Juan was a fun guide.

This was a fantastic... - This was a fantastic excursion! Alex was our guide, and he was great! I did this hike last year when I was down on a solo trip, and wanted to share it with my travel partner. They loved it! It does take a level of fitness, as there are some steep parts, but once you reach the first beach, the hike between the others isn't too long. The trails are well pretty well maintained, and the beaches are gorgeous! Bring water, a snack and some money for the restaurant at the final beach if you want to eat there.

Tough hike, but amazing beaches. - Pick up wasn’t well organized, there were several groups of hikers and no signage. It took a bit to find our guide and then waited approx 15 minutes for the bus. Bring a towel, hat, sunscreen, good shoes and lots of water/gatorade. Wear clothes that you can put back on with a wet bathing suit (if you decide to swim) and a small towel to dry and clean your feet. The hike was tough in my opinion. But well worth it, for the amazing beaches you get to visit.

WARNING-WARNING. EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRIP = FALSE - There was no disclosure about what we were getting into as far as hiking up and down those heels and mountains, which would have been incrediblefor the average to below person to complete this excursion without suffering. The course was not only strenuous and physically challenging, but it was dangerous! I would not recommend this trip to a person who is not extremely physically fit. The leader, the person that was working for this company was nice, but that wasn’t good enough. Words cannot explain the impact and the severityof this trip excursion. It was vaguely explained! Everything should’ve been in writing so a person would know ahead of time before purchasing what they were about to get into. The last beach was the only decent beach in this program. The rest were just mediocre and you were so fatigue from the mountain journey that you would be unable to enjoy the beaches in full. So I recommend you get an excursion that will take you to each like I noticed. That was a third-party excursion. There were other options that we learned at the end of the trip which was disappointing because there was a woman in our group who was suffering from a back injury and she was told that if she got on the boat to go to the last beach, she’d MISS OUT! Well, the beaches before the LAST BEACH weren’t impressive! WE ALL SUFFERED for nothing! And each beach we stopped for only a. SHORT TIME!!!!!! Not a good experience at ALL! NO SNORKELING PROVIDED AT ALL!!! AND it wasn’t a “TRAIL”
