    Collection from right outside the hotel. Transfer was short - only about 20 - 25 minutes Adriano the guide was really personable and knowledgeable about the area and the island. It was our 1st Lavada Walk and so we picked probably the least challenging. It was quite short. Next time we'll do some research in advance and go for something a bit more challenging.

    The walk was well organised from pick up to drop off. The guide was well informed and kept the whole party informed as the walk progressed. Paradise walk is an easy walk and can be walked by anyone, but you still need to look at your footing as the path is muddy with many rocks and roots waiting to trip you up.
