“Right in the centre of the island via a scary road with steep drops all the way around gives magnifent views of the island. However, to do this activity you need to have a reasonable level of fitness as you are going to be walking uphill (although not that far) in scorching heat. The rock climbing was fun but then we had the walk to the cave which is more challenging involving scrambling and a tricky rope assisted final climb to the cave.

“It was a super cool unforgettable experience. Daison picked us up on time. He was very funny and pleasant. We had another Spanish couple. He was very patient and explained alternately in Spanish and English, although because of his expression he could already understand everything. I was very anxious and nervous about climbing and handled this very professionally. I never felt unsafe. You could see that Daison is passionate about these activities and was able to share his joy with us. Via Ferrata was really exciting and I think I will continue doing this in Switzerland thanks to Daison. Moon Cave was super beautiful and unforgettable. Besides the activities, Daison…”
