Conquering Meru!

The 4 Days Mount Meru Climbing Experience was tough but incredibly rewarding! The ascent is steep and requires good fitness, but the guides were brilliant, pushing us when needed and ensuring safety. Reaching the summit was an unbelievable feeling, with panoramic views stretching out. The accommodation at the various huts was basic but sufficient. This is a serious trek, but absolutely worth it for the sense of achievement and the stunning landscapes. Felt so accomplished!

A Touching Visit to Prison Island
Maria S. · Argentina · 13 Nov 2025

The 1 Day Prison Island tour offered a fascinating mix of history and natural beauty. Seeing the giant tortoises was incredible, and the old prison ruins have a poignant story. We enjoyed the walk around the island and the chance to snorkel in the clear waters nearby. It's a popular spot, so it can get busy, but our guide managed it well. A good half-day or full-day excursion depending on how much time you want to spend relaxing on the beach. We are planning our next visit for 2026.
