My original activity was cancelled due to weather and this was a plan B, I actually did the Faro trekking not the fort. But for the price $54 it was really not worth it. I am from California and the walk along the beach should be free, so I felt a little jaded. If it was $20 pp I may have felt...
My original activity was cancelled due to weather and this was a plan B, I actually did the Faro trekking not the fort. But for the price $54 it was really not worth it. I am from California and the walk along the beach should be free, so I felt a little jaded. If it was $20 pp I may have felt better about it, there were plenty of passengers on the shuttle so they could still make a profit. It was cold, wet and windy, the sights are very nice but nothing mind blowing, once you get to the end you take a picture and make your way back through rocks and sand, it is a good workout and there is plenty of resistance and the out and back is about 6.5 miles.
