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.

Hike with fabulous views - An absolutely superb hike with stunning views throughout and widely varying landscapes. Terrific views from beautiful Canarian pine forest of Mount Teide. Then spectacular views from scenic mountain ridge looking down towards Masca. Beautiful plants and vegetation to enjoy. Rainforest provided striking contract to vast rocky landscapes. Very atmospheric and Andy led us on little known path, pointing out great variety of colourful fungi. Andy is expert guide, very safe driver and very capable and responsible in the event anyone feels unwell or needs some assistance. Would highly recommend.

Masca from above - This was a fabulous hike with Andy our guide . He was very informative about the area. The weather was perfect as we were able to see so much of this beautiful area . 100% would recommend this trip but probably would advise people to definitely wear walking boots as some areas can be slippery.

Unfofgettable "Masca from Above" experience with Andy - We had a wonderful time on the Masca from Above trip in Tenerife with Andy. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly arranged, the pick-up was punctual and Andys welcoming attitude set a positive tone for the day. The hiking route was breathtaking, offering stunning views of the Masca and surrounding landscapes, that felt almost magical 😊 Eventhough the weather shifted from T-shirt to winter coat it made the trip even more interesting. We enjoyed a lot walking in the clouds!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a unique and inspiring adventure!

Great walk with stunning views of the Masca region - My wife and I are regular walkers with Andy and have thoroughly enjoyed all the walks we have taken with him. His knowledge of af the island and the various trails, both established and lesser known, is excellent. The groups are small which is an advantage and they provide an opportunity for visitors to the island to enjoy the stunning wild and rugged landscapes which they would otherwise probably not experience during their time on the island. A reasonable level of fitness is desirable and appropriate clothing should always be taken to deal with the climatic variations of the island which can mean that it is cool and raining in the North, yet remain hot and sunny on the southern beaches. Highly recommended.

Stunning hike - This was a stunning hike. We were lucky with the weather having a clear view of the Teide as well as on La Gomero. Andy is very knowledgeable and learned a lot about Tenerife. Absolutely recommend; make sure to have the correct gear 😀

Wonderful time in the jungle Teno - It was a very, very great tour with Andy. I've never seen Tenerife so green before. It was also very refreshing to be able to hike far away from other people. The pick-up service works great and the times mentioned are very well observed. Highly recommended especially for solo travelers.

Magical Masca! - First hike in Tenerife and Andy's hiking company were great. There were four of us including Andy plus myself and 2 other ladies. Picked up at hotel in Adeje. Thirty minutes later started the hike. A huge variety of scenery and views. Andy extremely knowledgeable about the area plus the flora and fauna. Don't hesitate to use this Company. Faultless.
