“This tour was one of the highlights of my trip to the island. Pablo was an excellent guide and took us to some truly spectacular spots to watch the sunset over the volcanic landscape — the views were absolutely stunning. After sunset, we explored several viewpoints around the area, including beautiful perspectives of Roque Nublo and other iconic sights. Delicious snacks were provided along the way, with great vegetarian options, which was a lovely touch. Once night fell, the real magic began.

“Inez and Juan are a super cool couple! Juan is a top driver who picks you up at your hotel and drops you off again. Ines provides lots of facts about the island and everything around it. You also get a lot of explanation during the walk! Definitely recommended to book here. We had a super fun day! Since this year you can no longer go to Roque Nublo by car, you have to reserve your place and go by public transport.
