3.00All in all, we quite enjoyed the tour. After the hike, however, we had the feeling that our guide was somehow no longer quite as passionate about his job. He seemed a bit tired (?) and rather uncommunicative. It was also probably not entirely clear that we had booked a 3-hour tour. The Batcave itself was very nice, we had a lot of great views. Also a snack and a drink, which surprised us positively. However, if that name of the company is “HIKE BVI”, we really would have liked a bit more and longer hiking/walking. We didn't actually walk longer than 1 hour at all. We would have liked more hiking.
A MUST DO in BVI!

5.00The views and the hike were amazing. Seth was an excellent tour guide and thought of everything. We had great information along the way and awesome pics and views. We finished up with fruit and drink for refreshments at the "Bat Cave" overlooking the ocean.I definitely will be going again and will recommend to anyone who wants to see a bit more of the BVI and likes a bit of adventure.Truly one of the best services available on island.

5.00This company was recommended by a friend who lives on Tortola, and I’m so glad that he did! I ended up going on 3 hikes with Kaleem as my guide, the Shark Bay tour; the Sage National Park tour and the Pineapple farm. Sef, the owner, communicated very well with me via text message and added me to the tour at the last minute. Really appreciate all the local knowledge about native plants and habitat. The hikes were challenging and led to some really beautiful places. Highly recommended! I’ll take more of the hikes the next time that I’m on island.
Great outdoor adventure in Tortola to the Bat cave

5.00Our Guide, kalene??? Something like that. We are old, hearing not the best.lol Nice guy. 6'4 Was early for pickup. Very informative on history and things along the hike. We are 60s and most of the hike was easy for us. A few places required some technical climbing up boulders and such but we were fine. Good workout! Had us back in a timely manner Would not hesitate to go with this company again
See and learn about the island
