The highlight of our Canary Islands cruise - During our one-week cruise around the Canary Islands, this hike in the Anaga region was the absolute highlight. Michal is an exceptional guide, warm, knowledgeable, always exploring new routes, connected to the local people and their secluded way of life. He knows when to share stories and when to just walk in silence and take in the sounds and atmosphere of nature. The hike itself was fabulous: varied, scenic, and gently increasing in difficulty without ever feeling rushed or strenuous. We encountered only a handful of other hikers, mostly local mountain runners, which made the experience feel authentic and unspoiled. We did many activities during the week, but nothing came close to this one. Highly recommended.

Huge thank you!! - What an amazing day. Eugene our guide was fantastic. We stopped off at 3 beautiful viewpoints before going on our hike. The hike was so varied with breathtaking views. We couldn't belive the views when we started and Eugene kept saying it would get better "it's just the warm up" and he wasn't wrong. It did get even more breathtaking as the hike went on. Not only was the hike itself amazing but Eugene was very knowledgeable and passionate! My mum is in her mid seventies and Eugene took the time to make sure she was OK and helped set the pace. Thank you for an amazing day out and for an unforgettable walk we will always cherish and remember.

Fantastic Anaga hike with Alex! - If you happen to be in Tenerife, want a somewhat challenging, off-the-beaten path hike, then you should absolutely book this experience with Alex (who also works with Eugenio). He picked our family of four up at the cruise port, and after driving us through town, we headed up into the hills/Anaga. Stopped at an overlook to see a snow-covered Mount Teide in the distance. The trail itself wound its way around a valley on the north side of the island (you can see Punta Del Hidalgo in the distance), about 4 miles, 1000' of climb total. We saw a few other hikers and some runners, but mostly had the trail to ourselves. It really had it all - spectacular views, waterfalls, interesting terrain, goats! We're pretty experienced hikers, but water channel part of the hike was unlike anything we'd done before and was definitely memorable! Alex was informative, a great companion, and paced us well. Would definitely have him guide us again.

I participated in a group... - I participated in a group tour for a fantastic discovery day, and everything was superb. Despite being a group, we encountered only four other people along the route, which was a significant highlight. I felt completely safe with our guide, Eugenio, and had a great time. We explored truly wonderful, off-the-beaten-path locations. Eugenio shared many interesting stories about the island and its history during the trip. He was also kind enough to take some good pictures throughout the hike. Overall, it was a highly enjoyable and safe experience.

The logistics for this... - The logistics for this trip were handled with great clarity. Eugenio picked us up precisely as agreed, provided a thorough overview of what to expect, and confirmed we had all necessary equipment for a safe and enjoyable journey. It was wonderful being out in the Anaga mountains. Eugenio selected an engaging route, incorporating diverse trails to show us both standard and less-traveled paths through the landscape. The total duration of the outing, including travel time and several stops to appreciate the views, was approximately 7 hours. Overall, this trip is highly recommended to experience and enjoy the Anaga mountains.

We had an excellent time... - We had an excellent time hiking through the mountains in Anaga. The logistics, including the transfer from Las Américas in the morning, operated smoothly and efficiently. The hike itself was not overly demanding physically, yet it offered some truly spectacular views. A definite highlight was the canals area, a segment that provided a noticeable burst of adrenaline. Following that, we made stops to capture pictures in several scenic forest spots. Be prepared for continuously changing weather conditions—we experienced everything from rain and strong wind to sunshine within a mere 15-minute timeframe. This was a superb mountain experience.

The organization, efficiency, and planning were excellent, and the guide, Eugenio, contributed significantly to the successful operation of the trip. We felt entirely comfortable despite the distance from home, as every stage worked out perfectly and on schedule. The sights we encountered were truly impressive. We will certainly recommend visiting Anaga Park with Eugenio.

Extraordinary beauty... - Extraordinary beauty nature and great company! Time flew by like an instant. We started moving early enough to avoid the main tourist flow. To my surprise, we only met six people on this walking route all day. This makes the route an absolutely unique track that has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. Our group was small — only five people, including a guide. I sincerely recommend it!
