Activity GOAT !!!!

Super randonnée au cœur du territoire hippy ! Agréable même avec notre cardio très très moyen. Nous avons eu le plaisir de voir beaucoup de poissons lors du snorkeling. Plein de possibilités pour des photos de groupe très "instagrammable". La bonne humeur contagieuse de notre guide nous a permis de passer un excellent moment entre amis !

really special trip

This trip was really special. We got to see a part of Malága we couldn’t have found on our own. From pick up, to the snacks and the care and instructions he gives on difficult terrain it was a brilliant experience! The beach we went snorkelling on was magic and super picturesque. Well worth the climb! Thank you, Alfonso!

tres sympathique

Nous avons passée une agréable matinée randonnée au bord de la mer. Nous sommes arrivés sur une belle plage où nous avons pu nous baigner et pratiquer du snorkelling. Cette activité à été très sympathique. Alfonso est dans l'échange, attentif... c'était un bon moment.

Great time

Really enjoyed this trip and would recommend it! Great length of hiking time and good that it’s in the morning before it gets too hot! Loved the secret beach that just had our group on it and the snorkelling head gear for us to help ourselves to. Nice time to relax too on the beach.. also interesting to see all the fruit plants and trees and even got to pick and eat a pomegranate on the way back! Alfonso is a friendly host and you get the option to be dropped back in Malaga or in Nerja in the afternoon .. I opted for Nerja which I would fully recommend for the beautiful square, beach and views :-)

Wonderful

This experience was wonderful! I got to go on a hike in a country I had never been to, which ended at a beautiful, secluded beach. Once arriving our group was able to swim for a couple of hours and relax after the hard work of the hike. Alfonso was a very pleasant and knowledgeable host! Our group met him at the pick up location and drove to the start of the hike (very mindful driver), where he gave us the low down on what to expect to see and how difficult the hike would be(if you are not mildly good hiker or have balance issues this may not be the experience for you). The area is beautiful and Alfonso knows a lot about the plantations, the area, hiking in general. I would totally recommend this, because you won't get to see this stunning beach otherwise! Thanks again!!

Wonderful

Alfonso was a wonderful host and guide! We went to a secluded place that was unique and very beautiful. There were no other hikers on the path and only our group enjoyed the beautiful beach. A great way to get out of the city and away from the tourists and connect with the natural environment. There is no way we could have found this on our own. We are very happy with this experience.

Great experience

10/10 you want to do this experience. The location Alfonso took us to was nothing short of breath taking. The hike was not to hard and the pay off was a beautiful beach that the group had to ourselves. Alfonso was a great host, funny and very knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend this trip, you’ll leave with a great experience and no regrets.

Une journée exceptionnelle !

Alfo est un guide très serviable, à l’écoute, et très grand pour un espagnol :) Nous avons randonné sur un sentier peu connu, avec une vue surprenante. Sur lequel s’ajoute une crique secrète paradisiaque, nager avec des poissons en faisant snorkeling. Une journée exceptionnelle !

5 stars

5 stars for everything! I had such an amazing time on this trip. Alfonso was so kind, he really helped me on the tougher areas when I was struggling. He’s full of laughter and joy. 100% recommend anyone who comes to Málaga to go on this hike with him. The snorkelling experience blew my mind. It was the cherry on top of the cake for this trip.

Highly recommended

Highly recommended this magical experience. Alfonso was funny, entertaining, kind and sweet. A very likeable person. The hike was great and the hidden beach was breathtaking. I am so grateful for this experience. Also, remember to bring shoes with strong grip on them! I kept slipping and Alfonso graciously held my hand during the tough parts of the hike so I wouldn't fall!

Really recommend

Really recommend this trip. Was beautiful, even on a ‘not so hot’ day. For us the terrain was absolutely fine, we are used to really big mountain walks so this was a breeze. We took lots of breaks along the way too. Just listen to Alfonso and you will be fine! We also had a lovely snorkel and saw lots of fish(es)!

Enjoyed the hike immensely.

Enjoyed the hike immensely. A nice break from the city life. Cannot say much about snorkeling, as it was too cold and windy but the host quickly adapted and took us instead to visit an absolutely marvelous mountain village. Alfonso is certainly a right guy for the job. Experienced but not yet bored. Prime time. Definitely recommended for city dwellers.

Beautiful trip

I enjoyed this trip very much, it was very beautiful and fun. The only thing is that the hike was very difficult for me during the steep climbs and declines. You have to wear shoes that will not slip in the rubble, and long pants to protect from sharp branches. The views were magnificent and Alfonso did a great job at guiding us through the area. He was also very helpful during the hike too, making sure everyone was safe. The beach was beautiful but the water was too rough to go in, so we didnt get to experience the snorkling.

great guide

Alfonso was a great guide. Communication was straight forward and everything from pick up to drop off was seamless. Alfonso is super knowledgable, and introduced and showed us all the different fruits and veggies that grow in the area. If you have any questions about Malaga or things to see around in the area Alfonso has many recommendations and suggestions. The beach spot was just magical, the water is so clear and feels so refreshing after getting sweaty from hiking. We could have stayed all day. I can definitely recommend this experience if you love a fun hike with amazing views and discovering a more remote beach. :)

Priceless experience

What a great way to spend the day! So glad I chose to do this experience. From start to finish I could not fault it. Alfonso makes you feel at ease and makes an effort to chat with and include everyone so this created a nice vibe between us all. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to others. It was money well spent for a priceless experience.

So much fun

I had a fantastic time hiking through a gorgeous natural area and snorkeling in an absolutely stunning cove with a great fun group of international folks. Normally, I don’t like organized guided outings but this one was a lovely surprise. Alfonso, our guide, made us all feel welcome, safe and capable. I really appreciated that he provided water, a snack, and snorkel masks so we could all just focus on enjoying the excursion. There were several times where I needed a hand — literally — and Alfonso was there to make sure I felt comfortable and less fearful about slipping. He is very charming and kind and has a great sense of humor and he definitely is knowledgeable about the geography, the history and the wildlife of the area. We had a nice chat about my previous life during la movida madrileña and then some fun trying out yoga poses on the beach with Stephanie and Shaimaa, two other women in our group. Alfonso made sure to look after everyone in our group and keep us all happily on the trail. After we got back to Malaga Alfonso sent us some “action” photos of us on the trail...which I really appreciated because I was too busy chatting and taking photos of the scenery and I didn’t take any photos of us actually walking the trail. Now I have Alfonso’s photos so I can “prove” to myself (and my kids) that I actually did this. LOL I’m already signed up for Alfonso’s hike in Saltillo Gorge and I’m sure it’ll be as nice as this excursion.

Wonderful

I had a wonderful time with Alfonso exploring the stunning coast in Nerja. I very much appreciated getting to soak up the beautiful natural landscape of Costa del Sol and swimming in the Mediterranean. Alfonso was so friendly, helpful, easy mannered, and funny. It was truly a memorable experience that I will not forget. Thank you for sharing the beauty of Nerja along with your warm spirit and knowledge, Alfonso!

Great experience

Venturing out into Nerja with Alfonso was the best part of my week in Málaga. As a solo traveler, it is super important to have a sense of friendship and support along our journeys; not only did I bond with other people in our group during our drive to Nerja and hike, but I came away from the experience realizing that despite our varied levels of “ability” (take this from the slowest-moving one in the group #ThanksAsthma), we each brought something to and participated in our nature hike with appreciation for each other and the scenery around us. Note to seasoned & little bb trekkers like me alike: take the water he gives you, create a (Hidden by Airbnb) group with your participants to share pictures, ask Alfonso questions about all the plants you see (this is his speciality, don’t let that information go to waste), and don’t be afraid to take a minute to admit that you can’t fly up and down mountains with incredible ease haha Alfonso WILL let you rest. I’m so happy to have met such an incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, motivated, and inspiring person during my month abroad. You’re lucky to snag a spot with him on this experience or any of the others he hosts! Check out @malagaactivatours for more beautiful pictures if you’re not convinced :)

5 starts!!!

This was really special. Just be prepared- the hike is intense. AMAZING, but intense. But do not be worried. Alfonso is there to help at every step of the way and held my friends hand the whole time because she kept on falling. The hike is beyond beautiful and you end is this secluded spot where you swim in the bluest clearest part of the Mediterranean. Alfonso is sooo funny and he forms an instant connection with you. He is super patient and really has a passion for the beautiful nature of Spain. He is not touristy in the best way possible and really gives a unique taste of Spanish culture. I would definitely recommend 5 starts!!
