TOP! - At the agreed time our driver Fabio picked us up from our hotel. Safe and smooth he took us to the PR8 where he gave us some extra explanation prior to the hike. Definitely worth repeating to plan another outing at this company!

Magnificent hike for those who love natural tones - The driver, Fabio, communicated perfectly and was on time and the ride was very pleasant as he also knows a lot about the island and could satisfy my curiosity. The self-guided hike is easy to manage and leads through beautiful, wild nature with warm natural colors. I made these without any problems with light barefoot shoes.

Great communication, beautiful hike - I had a great experience hiking the PR8 trail! The views are magnificent, and the hike takes around 3 hours, including rest breaks and photo stops. The timing was perfect: I could take my time, enjoy the scenery, and still finish a bit earlier. We were lucky with the weather during the hike, but it got a bit windy afterwards, so it’s good to be prepared for changing conditions. The transfer was excellent as well, the driver/guide Fábio arrived on time and he was very friendly and polite, gave all the necessary instructions and tips, and answered all our questions. Communication was smooth and easy from start to finish.

Return Transfer - Fabio was great. We liked that he sent us a photo of his car so we knew who to look out for with so many trips leaving from the hotel. He was on time for both ends of the transfer and picked me up from outside the marina when I decided to return by boat
