5 in 1 - I wanted to join more Andy’s hikes but it was fully booked - and I understand why. It was such a lovely experience! I loved about the Masca hike that we saw so much - about 5 different ecosystems - within just a one,not even too demanding hike. The nature and the views were beautiful and it was pleasant to have a company. Book early not to miss it!

Tenerife Guided Walks - I did three hikes with Andy in fantastic weather in Tenerife. Each of the walks were very different and they took advantage of the big variety of landscapes Tenerife has to offer. On one of the days, he adapted the walk to allow for one with more tree cover given the high temperatures on the day. The Wow Factor walk was a particular highlight for me. Make sure to book early - Andy’s walks are very popular and he has repeat customers who come year after year.

Hiking Masca from Above - This is a fantastic walk. From the prompt pick up time until I was dropped back to my hotel, this was a day packed brimful of enjoyment. Our guide Andy has a forensic knowledge of this area, and is very happy to share information on wildlife, geology and history as one walks along this breathtakingly beautiful route. He selects wonderful vantage points to best see the varied views; our lunch spot in particular afforded the most spectacular vista I have ever enjoyed while munching on a hard earned sandwich. Andy brings good humour to every hike, and the result is that everyone in the group is happy to talk and mingle- this heightens enjoyment. I totally recommend this hike. It has it all- enchanting forests, historical artefacts, expert guiding, and- did I mention those views??

Very nice walk where you don't come quickly without a guide. - If it wasn't for Andy, I wouldn't think of going for a walk here. He knows the island like the back of his hand. This is also a beautiful walk and in a very special part of Tenerife. Due to the location and altitude very varied and explore different nature. See the pictures

Wow! A different side to Tenerife and it was stunning. - From the time of booking to the time I was dropped back at the hotel everything was well organised and explained. Andy was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and the weather conditions. We started off in glorious sunshine but then the weather closed in and we nearly missed the stunning views across to La Gomera. But Andy made an adjustment to the walk and the weather cleared enough for us to get some amazing views. Very enjoyable 5hr hike away from the touristy side of Tenerife. Would definitely recommend doing a hike with Andy. I can't wait to come back and do another.
