Fabulous and awe inspiring hike in small group with knowledgeable guide. Not to be missed! - We had been recommended this organisations hikes by a friend and were delighted to find space at short notice online as it was the full moon and a super moon. Met up at a meeting point and drove a short distance to where the hike starts below a volcano. Hike not strenuous at all but ground is quite uneven over the lava and you have to look down to make sure you don’t trip. It’s never very steep. Karen was our guide and I cannot praise her highly enough for her knowledge and enthusiasm and for making the whole experience so magical. Interestingly the moon rose before the sun set so we opted to watch the sunset over the water on the west coast then hike back a bit to then see the moon and the moonshine over the water on the east coast. The moonshine being a super moon ( a beaver moon this time) was super bright illuminating the volcano behind us. Venus as seen on the left side of the last picture was also very bright. We saw many satellites traversing the sky including the ISS which happened to be passing over the Atlantic . Obviously, with such bright moonlight you can do as much stargazing as you simply cannot see them, but Karen was still able to point out many planets and constellations. Overall an experience not to be missed.

Definitely recommend! - Definitely 5 out of 5. The communication of these guys is amazing, our walk got rescheduled because of the weather which fully made sense, so I'd recommend booking for the start of your trip to allow for rearranging. We had Karen and Subina and they were extremely knowledgeable, explaining many things in multiple languages, as well as answering any questions. The walk itself was amazing, very beautiful sunset. Because of the date change, we didn't see the moon rise but enjoyed some star seeing and star facts on the walk back, which I loved! Karen also hugely helped us with transport advice and was very understanding and knowledgeable about this.

Best experience ever! - The moon hiking and star gazing trip was both amazing. Karen's astronomy knowledge is outstanding and i learned a lot whilst witnessing the moon rise. Would definitely recommend not missing out on this experience!
