“The hike was fantastic! We loved it. It's tough if you're not in good physical shape and highly recommend hiking boots to feel secure on the rocks. Our guide was not very accurate when delivering information about the day. We knew we were responsible for park entry fee and ferry ticket, but the guide came around on the bus asking for cash up front (26 euro) so she could take care of those things for us. We did not have the cash for this, and she made us extremely stressed saying that it was cash only, no ATMs and we would be on our own to find a ferry ticket…”
