Nature Retreat - Laurel Forest — Local services in Porto Moniz

Mold everywhere, the tent is totally molded, the kitchen has mold everywhere and the showers are rusted.

Overall I would...

The team that led the activity is very talented and dedicated and helped everyone in the group to quickly gain the confidence and skill needed to perform it with safety, while appreciating the remarkable surrounding scenario (one of my personal favourites on the island). I definitely recommend that you try and I'm under the impression that, if you combine it with a stay at the glamping tents or even at the hostel, the experience will be even...
