Great Family Day out - What a great day we had with Maciej. The pick up point was just a few minutes walk from our hotel which was great and not too early either...8.40. The hike was for our son's 18th (we are both 59) and I would say it's suitable for all ages with a reasonable level of fitness. The hike to Waterfall was relatively easy, but trickier on the way back, but Maciej was super friendly and looked after us really well, always checking how we were getting on. The route through Kestral Canyon took in lots of different plants and trees, which were explained at some of the 5 minute breaks on route, we also saw Kestrals and Lizards. The hike was fab and not too hot as there was plenty of shade from the trees and tunnels of bamboo, the Waterfall was quite stunning and a real surprise on such a dry Island. The day ended with a visit to a small family run restaurant in Telde for probably the best trip inclusive lunch we have ever had. We would definately recommend Maciej as a guide and will book with him again on our next visit. In peak season you really need to book a couple of months in advance, he gets really busy as he only takes a maximum of 8 people.

Very nice hike and super guide! - A very nice hike with a group of 9 people. Maciej knows a lot about the area and the plants and animals that live there. He spoke German and English effortlessly so everyone could understand. His cheerful character made the day complete. Highly recommended. Tip: book directly on Maciej's site. That saves costs for him and for you.

A guided walk with an excellent, knowledgeable guide - Excellent guide, very knowledgeable about the Island, the local area and the flora and fauna. We had a really enjoyable day. Well worth it to see more of the Island and understand the diversity of the climate. We felt very safe throughout and the pace was steady. Highly recommended.

Hiking for all - Really enjoyed this gentle in and out hike down into the valley with a great view of the waterfall at the end. Varied terrain but not too difficult, the guide Maciej was wonderful and had great knowledge of the island. We finished with a Canarian style lunch which was really good. Only regret was not scheduling more tours with him on our trip. Must do!

Excellent hike with very professional knowledgeable and friendly guide Majiec. Stunning scenery and great lunch. - A very enjoyable hike up a mountain valley following a watercourse to the climax of a waterfall at the end. The scenery got better and better as we ascended the terrain was very good with a few little climbs but comfortably managed by all ages. Majiec the guide was excellent. we had made a previous hike with him and were more than happy to use his services again. The Luncheon in the village afterwards was excellent and a taste of real Canaria.We would fully recommend this companies hikes to all and will definitely use them again.

Great day out - Maciej was a great guide, really informative and knowledgeable about plant life on the island. Excellent being in such a small group, enjoying an easy walk to the waterfalls, and seeing a part of Gran Canaria vastly contrasting with the dry south. Brilliant trip, many thanks.

Well organised. - Prior communication with GC Active tour was excellent, and the pick-up time and place cound not have been more convenient. A group of 8 were very ably driven and led by Maciej. Everything was well explained and interesting details were pointed out on our ascent. At times this walk is bit more of a scramble than I had presumed it would be especially on the returning descent. Lunch, was excellent in a clena and tidy restaurant.
