5.00Excellent morning hike in the Las Penitas canyon. Our guide was very professional and very friendly, lending a hand to anyone who needed an extra bit of help to negotiate the steeper parts of the trail. The lunch provided was also very tasty. Highly recommended.

5.00Amazing excursion through Las Penitas canyon. The hike was tricky in places but our guide Bas was brilliant at assisting and encouraging you. Would definitely recommend wearing trainers or walking shoes as the terrain is difficult, especially on the way down. I was pushed out of my comfort zone but totally glad that I made the effort as the view from the top is spectacular. Big shout out to our guide Bas who made the experience unforgettable. He was very helpful & knowledgeable of the region. Also the sandwich provided is delicious. Would highly recommend - five stars!!

5.00We had a very nice and competent guide who accompanied the trip in German and English. The highlights of the tour were really fantastic. For the first part, the hike to the rock window, you have to be a bit fit, as there are some climbing areas on the way. But Bas, our guide, explained everything wonderfully and helped when things got a little more difficult.
Have a good day.

Where Sea and Caves Speak: Ajuy & Las Penitas canyon hike

5.00I just really loved it. The ride to the cave wasn't to long and Bas explained a lot about Fuerteventura. The hike was lovely, sometimes also a bit challeging and had amazing views. We had lunch near the cave and enjoyed the hike and sightseeing there. Big waves clashing into cliffs. And extra bonus was feeding the skwirls. It doensn't matter if you are travelling alone or as friends or couple, it's great to be in a group. For those who travel by themsleves: it's an excellent way to meet other adventures people. Really recommend you to check out their website for other tours , retreats or packages/offers. You won't regret. Vivian

5.00This tour was a great experience from start to finish. Bas was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very easy to get along with. The small group size made a big difference and it felt personal, relaxed, and created a fun vibe among all the hikers. Communication beforehand was clear and reliable, so I knew exactly what to expect and felt well prepared. Do note that you’ll need good, sturdy hiking shoes and some prior hiking experience, as parts of the hike are more demanding. Overall, a very enjoyable experience that I’d happily recommend.
A very nice excursion with a super guide good info about the history and beautiful places. 🔥
