    This was an absolutely fabulous tour for someone on a budget. I was a woman traveling alone and felt perfectly safe too. I really enjoyed all the tours and had no problems except one small miscommunication. We went I On a hike to a volcano and I was told it was 3 miles, but it ended up being 10 miles. I had broken my ankle about 6 months before so there were a few problems- but I made it and it was a wonderful hike. Overall completely enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend to others.

    Thanks to everyone involved...especially to Erika and Andres! Also thanks to my guides up the shield volcano. Thanks also to all the people who met me at ferries and shuttled me to hotels! Things went well and was the right balance of activity and rest time. The highlight for me was the snorkeling. While I have been to better reefs in the world (this was not a reef, but the lava rock shore), the diversity of marine life and closeness to nature and to its creatures was the best I have ever experienced!

    Perfect duration, activities were varied and the programming left the right amour of activity and rest/free time. Food was delicious and sights were incredible.
