This tour is AMAZING! Philip is a great guide with a heart of adventure. He provides you with the history of the island and you ride along some of the most breathtaking views on the island. There is also a chance to get muddy if you are so inclined to do so.

Filipe was an absolutely amazing guide, was very knowledgeable about the area, and was an excellent buggy driver. I would certainly recommend this trip to anyone! Make sure to get him to take you to the abandoned hotel!
