We did a guided hike with Dave, who was introduced to us at the Jetty. After he called, he came over, introduced himself and we made an appointment. Everything is uncomplicated. On the way he showed us various photo spots, prepared a fresh coconut and gave us various information about flora and fauna. A successful trip that I would personally recommend on a guided basis. Anyone who gets lost and doesn't know what to do will eventually be picked up by the Guiees.
