5.00Luis was our guide for the Ten Volcanoes hike. Luis was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the hike telling us about the flora along the way. The hike was manageable if you are active, but challenging in some sections, especially the last 1/3. If you suffer from a fear of heights it was all very manageable. The whole experience from booking, being picked up, driven to the trail head, guided throughout the hike and driven home was flawless. The price was very reasonable for an all day hike. Would highly recommend Our Island as a tour guide.
Great adventure for serious hikers

5.00This is an incredible hike that has you changing scenery at every turn. Length is close to 13 miles and has thousands of feet in elevation change heading up and down volcanos. The highlight is finishing down by the coast and taking a dip in the ocean pools.
