“This was possibly one of the BEST things we've ever done. We have visited GC many times before and never had the courage to try something like this, but decided it was time. We had no idea really what it would involve but Rocknatour and Pablo just absolutely took care of everything. The whole experience of abseiling, hiking, walking ... it was the most thrilling, glorious, exhausting day. It pushed us a little with our fitness and that was exactly what we needed. We slept like babies that night! There were moments we were all a little nervous as we'd never done anything like it before but Pablo made us…”

Very professional outfit - quality equipment, fun and knowledgeable guides, delicious meal at the end. No dissappontments. The hike was enough of a challenge to be fun but totally doable for our group ranging from 8-55. Thank you for a great day!”

Ryandi and Yogik were amazing throughout the whole thing, guiding and helping me and making me laugh, and during the two hours we barely saw anyone else, no other tourists. Once we went back, a beautiful home cooked lunch was also waiting and again, it was amazing. 10/10”
