You have to visit!! 5* excursion! - Brilliant!! Both Katrina and Annie-Marie, are welcoming and knowledgeable, they made the excursion feel personal and meaningful. They have a real passion for the job and will go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. The goats are very well looked after and have a great life with Katrina! All the goats have unique personalities & made us laugh a lot. Beautiful lunch too! 5* would definitely recommend.

Great tours on Fuerteventura - Great experiences on Fuerteventura! We booked 2 tours with Kristina in October and are absolutely thrilled: The first tour, "Trecking with island goats," took us to the center of Fuerteventura. We went up and down with the goats, while Kristina provided us with lots of interesting information about life on Fuerteventura in the past and today, the nature, the landscape and the animals. Halfway there was a nice little picnic so that we could master the descent with strength. The second tour took us through a wild lava landscape to a volcano that - like all volcanoes on the island - is no longer active, but despite its initial desolation, it has a few surprises. Afterwards, we were able to marvel at the processing of aloe vera on a guided tour of an aloe vera farm, test the products and enjoy a final picnic in the adjacent beautiful garden - a huge contrast to the volcano visit. The tours are highly recommended. You no longer see Fuerteventura as just a surfer's paradise, which makes it even more attractive. Tip: Sturdy shoes are essential if you don't want to have sore feet and you should have a certain level of fitness at least for the tour with the goats. Dear Kristina, keep it up!!!

Well worth it for something quirky and different! - I enjoyed this trip so much! So did my daughter. We are still talking about our goats and the funny things they were doing. Our guide was really kind and spoke a lot about the goats, general info about the island and when we reached our destination, she prepared a simple picnic that hit the spot after so much walking. The local goats cheese was delicious. The goats were very entertaining! They all had different personalities - we walked them on leads on the roads and let them free when we were in the “wilds”. I loved how the goats just walked with us like we were all one pack and they even stopped to check any stragglers would catch up. You could tell they were happy animals and they enjoyed the trek as well - sometimes frolicking around. Very memorable and if I come back, I’d do it again! 100% recommend this event - it’s different, quirky, and memorable.

Fancy something a little different? Awesome day out! - We had such a fun day with Kristina, the dogs and the goats! A really lovely way to see the landscape and a very authentic experience. I know it may seem a slightly strange way to spend your day - but the hike was so fun, the goats were adorable and hilarious and the area where we had our local cheese and wine was something you wouldn't do un-guided. Kristina is super knowledgable about the area. We would highly recommend this tour - especially to animal lovers. We miss Senorita Mayor (a goat) already :)

Great Day Out with Goats - We had a brilliant hike in the hills with Kristina and her 5 goats. It was such good fun - not too strenuous. We were part of a small group of 6 people. Kristina is very informative and has trained her goats really well - they were hilarious at times, and generally very well behaved. Depending on where you were walking they were either on a lead or walking beside you. During the walk we stopped for a light lunch of red wine, bread, goat’s cheese and tomatoes, which Kristina provided and was very tasty. On our return we met the newest member of her goat family, a lovely little black kid, who we were able to bottle feed. This was a great way of seeing a different part of Fuerteventura. Far superior to any other trip you could go on. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Fuerteventura. Thank you Kristina!
