Air by Pleasant

A very varied place with ridge walks, forest walks and volcano walks etc. 
Some tough climbs and quite harsh surfaces. Not suitable for those who are 
unsteady on their feet or suffer from vertigo. The hotels were quite decent 
and the food was up to expectations although not exceptional. Henri our tour 
leader did a superb job he had a good knowledge of the island kept us well 
entertained and nothing was too much trouble for him. Overall it was a well 
worth while trip which I would recommend to anyone who is reasonably fit. I 
would certainly not be adverse to doing it again in the future.
Nothing in particular there was no great moment of enlightenment


Excellent we were all very impressed with him


Under no circumstances should you fall over the volcanic surface is extremely 
abrasive just about everywhere.


No, just get out and walk

Walking the Island of La Palma

There's a huge variety of scenery on La Palma and this week gave us a taste 
of everything. The walks aren't especially long but there's quite a lot of 
ascent and descent so I'd agree with the grade 4 rating. Although part of the 
Canary Islands there's often a bit of cooling cloud about and it didn't feel 
too hot for walking. The accommodation was all good; six nights in 
aparthotels with lots of space, one in a regular hotel. The tour leader Henry 
was excellent, knew a lot about the island's culture, geology and wildlife 
and was really friendly and approachable.

This was a great walking holiday on La Palma. The itinerary was comprehensive 
and well thought through and encompassed the main highlights of the island. 
We learnt a lot during our week there and enjoyed some unforgettable walks.
Arriving at the highest point of the island at the Roque de los Muchachos 
with it's spectacular views, followed by an amazing walk along the crater 
rim.


Henry was great tour leader. He was very capable, taught us a lot about the 
island and kept us entertained throughout. I can't praise him highly enough!


This is a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and if you are curious about La Palma 
and enjoy walking on volcanoes, then you should definitely go for it.

We did a variety of walks on the island through temperate rainforest, across 
coastal gorges, up in the high caldera ridge and through the caldera itself. 
The scenery was beautiful with amazing geology from volcanic activity. Our 
tour guide was very good and let everybody in the group find their own pace. 
The sunshine and light during December was a real bonus.
Walking the ridge of the caldera and looking down on clouds and across to 
Teide on Tenerife.


Enthusiastic, organised and providing practical information.

Great walking on a beautiful volcanic island

Very enjoyable walking trip in a lovely destination, reasonable accommodation 
&amp; food and a good variety of walks.
The caldera rim walk to Roque de Los Muchachos was pretty impressive and most 
enjoyable, but the walk in the gorge of the Taburiente river was probably 
even better.  A shame we missed the Ruta de Los Volcanes due to bad weather!


Jonas Perez - The most informative, helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining 
tour leader you will ever meet!  He obviously loves his Island and his 'job' 
and wants everybody else to share this with his enthusiasm and humour.


The walks are tough without being too hard if you're reasonably fit, but 
don't believe the trip notes - days 6 &amp; 7 are not the most challenging, they 
are just long but quite simple walks, the most challenging day is day 4 
around the caldera rim, thankfully followed by the rest day!


Carry everything with you all of the time - sun hat &amp; cream with waterproofs 
&amp; a fleece.  The weather constantly changes and can be completely different 
on one side of the island to the other.
