What a fabulous place. All the enclosures were clean and well maintained with space for the animals. The keepers all seemed to care about the animals and really loved them. The best bit for my 3 year old granddaughter was feeding the giraffe. They were amazing. The only thing I would say is don't rent a little trolly to pull your toddler in. It's very hilly and not suited to the little carts that cost 10€ to hire. All in all a fabulous day out .

We had a great day out on this Tapas tour visiting three different small producers, hearing all about their hard work and trying their products. Carmen our guide was excellent and explained in English all we needed to know. The tapas was all lovely, and it was great to see a bit of the island and meet local people. Would highly recommend this tour.

Really enjoyed this activity! The tour guide was lovely, there was a picnic mid-way and the goats are really well taken care of!

been a great trip! The boat trip alone is worth it, then saw whales, WOW! We will be back!

Great experience. Great guides. And we were lucky and saw whales and dolphins.
