    We had such an amazing tour with Jacob at the end of the island, exploring sights we never would've made it to otherwise without him! It was such a fun and memorable experience, he is an amazing tour guide and such good company while educating us on all his knowledge of the landscape and its inhabitants. We cannot wait to go back again and maybe next time get some surfing in! Definitely book a trip or experience with him ASAP!!!
