The most amazing trip with an amazing company! Both Corey the guide as well as Cam and Oli the hosts were incredible, so knowledgeable and welcoming and you really felt comfortable with them. The accommodation is great, and having hot water bottles was a great bonus!! Beds were v comfy and the hot showers were a big bonus. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. The only slight criticism I had of it was that as a vegetarian it felt like there wasn’t much protein available and so being active all the time this might have been nice.

OMG! My best friend and I booked this tour hoping for the best three days… they delivered! Our tour leader Jamie kept the good vibes up the entire time, saying “we can’t change the weather, but we can change our attitude!”. The food, staff and accommodation completed the package (they also catered for dietaries so well, I never felt left out!). The ethos of the company really translated throughout too from the eco conscious campsite to the vegan option with every meal finally finishing with an ocean beach clean up to ensure we left no trace on the island. Everything you could want and more! We would recommend to anyone and everyone !! THANK YOU !!!

Really amazing trip. Easy to organise pick up and all the staff and volunteers were so lovely and happy to help. Our guide was Luke and he was great, he knew a lot about the island and all the best spots. He was good at timing visits to spots in order to avoid other groups so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The accommodation was great and the meals provided were really tasty and there was lots of it. The island itself is beautiful and truly felt like a piece of paradise cut off from the rest of the world. Driving the cars was a lot of fun and everyone who wanted to got a turn. 100% would recommend
