Fascinating volcano ride by e-bike! - A really great experience cycling with Rento this morning. The bikes were easy to use and made the hill climb easy! Super views of the volcano on the way up and from the observatory and a lovely ride down through the forest where we were lucky to see the volcanic plumes. Rento was very knowledgeable about the geology and geography of Sakurajima - we learnt a lot and enjoyed the delicious orange juice and sweet potato snacks provided!

Amazing volcanic climb - They did a fantastic job on the hill climb, loved all the information that was given to me along the way. The flower blossoms on the way down had amazing smell, and I was so surprised on how many orange trees were on them mountain. It was a great tour.

Great Sakurajima Volcano Tour - It was really a great tour of Sakurajima Island with Rento! He was not only able to describe to me all the interesting peculiarities of the volcanic landscapes, but also showed me beautiful viewpoints and told me something about the local farm. Just great and unforgettable for me, a thousand thanks!

Pure happiness - The ride was really nice. I was lucky enough to be the only one who booked for that day and it is really an experience to do when you want to see the essentials of the island, its reliefs and its vegetation, with a sporty but affordable side. For me it's a must.

Wonderful! - The tour was a great experience! Rento is very friendly and has given exciting information about the island. The views were beautiful and above all it was (despite sporting activity) very relaxing and relaxing to simply follow Rento by bike. I would recommend the tour to anyone!

Check out the directions to get to the start point! - I can’t really rate the experience because we didn’t actually get to do it. When I read the directions, it said it was an 8 minute walk. We came in a a cruise ship, so I thought we were at the port. But it was actually an 8 minute walk from a different port. We had to take a 30 minute cab ride, then a ferry ride, then an 8 minute walk. Needless to say we did not make it.
