  • 5Amazing sunset hike!

    Family with four teenagers. We ended up hiking Todos Santos at Sunset with Danny. I would highly recommend this tour! Danny was a fantastic guide!

  • 5An adventure into the magic of the mountains and desert

    Three years ago we did the Napales cooking class with Danny and it was one of the best things we did the entire week we were in Cabo. We loved it so much that we booked the hiking trip for our next visit. Danny did not disappoint! He is one of the best guides I’ve had in my years of travel. He is extremely knowledgeable about the culture, nature and history of Baja. He is inquisitive and creative when designing his trips and best and most important to me, he gives back to the community and takes us to places the average tourist will never see. This hike was as promised. First we stopped and sampled ice cream at a small store that is third generation if ice cream makers and has created over 112 unique flavors. Next we drove to our hike in a beautiful reserve which was worlds away from the development and chaos of Cabo. Our hike was stunnijg and we learned about the flora and fauna of this unique place as well as ita geological history. As always Danny threw in a soecial surprise. Let’s just say it was a magical moment of a traditional Buddhist sound experience near the water on the desert sand. Don’t want to spoil it but it was pure magic! Last we had a meal prepared by a local Ranchero family, made some fresh tortillas on the fire and enjoyed delicious homemade food that you will never get at a restaurant. If you crave adventure and want to experience the culture here, book a tour with Danny! You will have an amazing time and leave Cabo with a very special memory other than the beach.

  • 5Definitely bring some...

    Definitely bring some money to tip your tour guide and the great family providing the dinner. Danny was great and very informative. The swimming holes are absolutely stunning and refreshing.

  • 5Great adventure!

    This was such a fun experience! Danny and Danni were so attentive and informative. The hike there was great, jumping off the huge rock into the water was refreshing, and hiking back in the dark with headlamps was surprisingly really fun. Then we finished it off with a delicious meal and even learned to make tortillas. Would definitely recommend !!

    Awesome spot. Awesome guide. Would never have done this excursion solo or with folks not familiar with the area. Stupid Hurricane cut trip short. Grrrr…

  • 5An amazing hiking experience, the best!

    We do a lot of hiking, this one takes the cake. Danny is the best guide ever. He is experienced and tailored the hike to what we wanted. He has a wealth of knowledge of the Mexican culture. Plus an authentic Mexican dinner after, was the cherry on top. This was the best experience we have ever had, would highly recommend this to anyone.
