- oliverkB5537FT0 contributionsFantastic adventureOur Via Ferrata and Zip Line adventure was fantastic! The experience was brilliantly organised, and the guides were amazing—very friendly, safety-conscious, and incredibly supportive. The scenery was spectacular, with breathtaking views at every turn. The combination of climbing and zip-lining was exhilarating and perfect for our family, including our kids aged 12 and 15. The guides made sure everyone felt safe and confident throughout the entire experience. The whole activity was a perfect blend of challenge and fun. Highly recommend this adventure for anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience!Written 26 July 2024
- 562sweetyp0 contributionsBESTEST HIKE WITH THE BEST HUMANLet me start by saying Thankyou to DAVID.From the start since we booked this hiking tour with him till the end, he was extremely helpful and amazing.lt was my best decision to book this tour with DAVID.My son forgot to wear his sports shoes and I can never forget that David drove all the way and took extra efforts to pick up a pair of shoes he had so that my son can comfortably hike.Really sweet of him.He really welcomed us warmly and was very happy having us as his first Indian group.He gave us lot of information about the plants along the way while walking through the natural park and other information about the local places and beaches.He got snacks and juices for us which we enjoyed having at the beautiful beach with turquoise water.He clicked the best pictures and took amazing videos which are our memories for life.I had the best time with my friends at this magnificent beach.Best part was the drive back with David.He gave us juices and made us laugh on our way back we listened to the best music & he also guided us to visit the best places at Nerja.I really wish I get the chance to visit malaga again and book my next adventure trip with David. I would definitely recommend my friends and family and all of you to please book through them I swear you will have the best lifetime experience.DAVID HAS EXCEEDED ALL OUR EXPECTATIONS !! I CAN GO ON AND ON BUT I AM ENDING HERE WITH A THANKFUL HEART.Written 2 July 2024
- 851monicak0 contributionsNerja coastal hike/swimGreat hike along the cliffs in the natural park of Maro and Nerja. Moderately strenuous hike with some steep areas and loose gravel. Thanks David for helping Monica on some of the downhills! Breathtaking views along the coast from the top. Our family of four from US with two young teens and family of 3 from South Africa. We made our way down to a small remote beach with a pebbly shore that was a little tough on the feet without water shoes. Water was chilly but refreshing after the hike. Visibility was limited near shore by surf break breaking and some floating algae but there were lots of fish to see. Snorkeling would be great on a calm day. Thank you David for a fun outdoor adventure!Written 2 July 2024
- 733giedrep0 contributionsBeautiful views, great tour guide!Amazing! From ammateur prospective: looks very scary, but in reality it is not so scary and less diffucult than expected! It was my first via ferrata, and I loved it! Tour guide David is very encouraging!Written 2 June 2024
- jhdjhdjhd0 contributionsLots of fun, challenging, highly recommend!!This was a fantastic Via Ferrata, so much fun, challenging, great views. David is awesome, fun and upbeat. Highly recommend!Written 24 May 2024
- Jet023573769520 contributionsGreat Via FerrataBrilliant day doing Via Ferrata with David. Very safe and great instruction. Everything was explained well so the entire party understood both the techniques and route. David also talked about the history of the region, the natural environment and the outdoor life in general. Recommended.Written 27 October 2023
- DKMoss0 contributionsQuality family activity.....Excellant guide 😁😁David went above and beyond to make our kayaking experience a highlight of our holiday! We chose the kayaking and snorkelling along the coast tour, from Maro to Nerja for our family of 2 parents and 6 young adults and we had a great time. David's English was amazing and he made all of the participants feel at ease and included. We did not struggle physically with the tour but I would say that you have to have a good level of fitness to kayak in the sea for any length of time. David's knowledge of the local area was vast and he provided just the right amount of information during the tour. We all enjoyed seeing the natural caves from the sea, unfortunately due to the current climate, the waterfalls had all dried up but it didn't spoil our tour. There were refreshments to enjoy when we arrived back to Maro beach and David went above and beyond by transporting the 6 of us in his minivan from our accommodation to the beach and back. There was also safe storage for bags and phones at the beach. We would not hesitate to use this trip provider again!!Written 7 August 2023
- 121louiseg0 contributionsBOOK THIS IF YOU CANBOOK THIS AS FAST AS YOU CAN! This was the absolute highlight of our two weeks of vacation in Spain! Five and a half hours of pure fun, laughs, and smiles. You will be given a pick-up point when you book your adventure. You will also get a fun reminder the day before - pretty cool. Your host will be there on time to pick you up and take you up the beautiful mountains. Your host - in our case, David - is extremely knowledgeable and professional. They know the area very well and will give you some very interesting, valuable, and even funny information about it during the beautiful drive. When you arrive at the destination in the mountains, your host hooks you up with great-quality equipment - all carefully checked beforehand - and starts the hike. The hike soon becomes an amazing climb and zip line route up and around the mountain. I am warning you, there will be several breathtaking views along the way. We even saw eagles! The climbing and zip-lining are challenging - but not too challenging. Everyone who wants a thrill and a bit of outdoor fun can do this. You have the most amazing host with you. David is ready to cheer, guide, and help all the way. It feels very safe from the beginning to the end. At the end, your host brings out cold drinks (yes, also a darn good cold beer!) and sweet and savory snacks to finish it all off. Thank you, David, for creating a core memory with us. This day is one for the memory books. Do not hesitate. Book this adventure. Now. Go!Written 15 July 2023
- 996nourh0 contributionsUnforgettable adventure with DavidAn amazing adventure you can do with David. Highly recommend, we were a group of 6 persons, we had so much fun and a lot of adrenaline while claiming the mountain. Thanks DavidWritten 26 June 2023
- W206AYalexiag0 contributionsAmazing Adventure!Exceptional! Not only is David extremely calm, kind and makes everyone feel safe, he’s also very knowledgeable. He knows the mountains and the region to a strong level and his a fantastic guide for this type of adventure. He also speaks multiple languages and his sense of humour makes everyone feel at ease. I highly recommend this service! The via Ferrata is fun and accessible and the views are just incredible!Written 2 June 2023
- paulasN8959AA0 contributionsExciting and funI enjoyed this adventure very much. It was my first time climbing a real mountain, sliding a zip line and walking through monkey bars! David and Javier were very helpful in communicating to prepare us for the event and during it in making sure we were safe and having fun. I definitely recommend it.Written 1 June 2023
- Fre660 contributionsThe most important thing is having the right Leader and this is DAVIDWhat a truly remarkable experience. I decided to do the via ferrata as it would be scary and out of my comfort zone. Well, the most important thing is having the right leader and that was David. He was open, friendly and warming to us all. Then he made sure not just myself but all in the group (there were 8 of us) were taken care of. When I did have moments of fear, his ability to motivate me and make me smile is remarkable. He has a gift for making people feel at ease and trusted him completely. He is one in a million. Thank you David and will do another event with you! We love you! xxxxWritten 31 May 2023

I had a great trip canyoning down the Rio Verde
Pick-up from Nerja was on time, clear instructions so a good
David was cheerful, told us what the plan was and pointed out things on the hours transfer to the starting point.
The actual experience was fantastic, the equipment was good and we had a lot of fun whilst being safe.
Great jumps and descents along the way
Thoroughly recommend booking the trip, need to be in reasonable physical shape.

Amazing experience from David! The ravine is amazing, but even more so with this wonderful Guide. It made the difficult easy, with his joy and motivation until the cold becomes pleasurable. The experience he has says it all, the security he transmits to you in every rappel and jump encourages you to overcome and feel like a caress in the body. Thanks David, we'll be back next year for sure.

Booked spontaneously without any problems and contact via WhatsApp was super quick and relaxed. The meeting point was flexible. The walk to the river itself was an experience and exciting, the tour through the Rio Verde was perfectly guided. The group had an ideal pace, people who needed more help got it and people who needed less help were able to move away from the group a little, and you could also find your own way through the river almost the entire time, there were only a few instructions given.

We are slowly recovering from this fabulous experience, which we shared with our 13 and 16 year olds. An incredible moment that we will never forget. As mentioned, you need a good physical condition because it's exhausting, but the show is worth it. I advise you to rent the shoes to protect your ankles. Thanks to the instructor was great too. I've never seen anything so beautiful. Good continuation and long life to your activity. Natacha emmanuel vasco nelia

“What a great experience! It was everything we had hoped for and more! I cannot stress enough how highly we recommend this trip. If you are outdoorsy and are up for a great adventure, then you should choose this! RENT THE SHOES!! David just started offering shoe rentals for this trip and they are a game changer! You don’t have to get your tennis shoes soaking wet, and they are high quality and grip the slippery rocks really well.”

Absolutely beautiful scenery and great canyoning experience. We did it in October but in case you have a chance to visit during the season where Oleanders bloom it must be even more amazing as they grow wild everywhere. It was really nice to have Javier as our local guide as he was both very funny and extremely careful to make sure we were always safe.
As the advertisement promised a canyoning tour very well suited for beginners and definitely one to recommend!

We booked a Canyoning Tour for the end of September - it was a really great, unique experience.
Communication before event was fast and clear.
David took great care of us and made sure, everyone is fine and able to enjoy the experience.
Location was breath-taking - crystal clear blue water and astonishing rock formations.
Highly recommended!

My partner and I have never done canyoning before so we went for this one as it had great reviews and others have said that the host/s were super helpful.
When we were picked up from Nerja, David (our host) drove us to the canyon All whilst telling us interesting facts about the local area, the fruits they produce and some personal stories he had too.
We parked up and got all of our kit and hiked through the canyon to our starting area. It wasn’t too difficult of a hike but certainly not a walk in the park.
When we got to our start point, he explained everything to us very well and clearly so we felt very safe in what we were doing. And we headed off.
From swimming through crystal clear waters, rappelling down waterfalls, clambering over rocks through the stream and jumping off high points into water, the whole trip was 100% worth every penny!
David got us some light snacks And refreshments to finish off the trip when we were back at the minibus and then drove us back to Nerja.
All in all, 10/10 trip and would absolutely do it all over again!

This was one of the most enjoyable vacation activities I’ve ever done. The physical beauty alone is stunning and magical. The canyoning is challenging and incredibly unique. David is an awesome guide in every way that a guide should be: positive, fun, safe, knowledgeable, encouraging, and speaks four languages. Absolutely recommend, you won’t regret it.
