Very pleased with this tour. Having lived on the island his whole life, the guide was very knowledgeable of the area and knew a few secret private lookouts where other groups don't go. He spoke very good english and had a nice van perfect for the narrow back country roads. Be aware that you will be dropped off at the trail head to hike on your own while he waits with the van in the crowded parking lot since there are never enough spaces. It would not be possible to all this with a rental car hence the tremendous value with this service
