Day excursions with an easy or difficult hiking into the mountains on hiking paths and tracks with uneven subsoil for EVERYBODY, for people with at least a basic physical condition.
Transfer time from Playa del Inglés (office Happy Hiking) up to the hiking area, via mountain roads (a lot of bends!), is about 1-1,30 hour (this is depending the hiking area).
Mostly, depending hiking area (!), on the way up to the start the guests have the possibility to go to the toilet, drink something if they want, etc...during an intermediate stop.
During the hiking tour some breaks are planned to enjoy the landscape, to give some more explanations about island and people, and vegetation.
On the way back a stop is organised in a local bar into the mountains to have an extra drink...on own account.
Most trips are also possible for people with acrophobia! Please check by booking!
We organise 3 different trips per calendar week. The tempo is low! Our hiking trips are NO RUNNING excursions! You stay longer then 1 week? More then 3 different tours possible!
