Overall very enjoyable. Very brown and dry below the tree line in November possibly another two of the year would be better.
Would have been nice to have stayed in more diverse parts of the island but maybe restricted by availablity of suitable accommodation.
For me, the 9 day holiday gave so much more than I imagine the basic trip would have done. The day with Paolo and Enrica was the absolute highlight; an absolutely delightful couple and a truly memorable day. The whole holiday was very well thought out and the itinerary intelligently and carefully planned.
This trip gave us a wonderful insight into the landscape, vegetation and history of this fascinating island. The different walks took us through a real variety of unique terrain and flora. We really enjoyed the tranquility and lack of tourism but any people we did meet were friendly and helpful. The extension day was a real highlight for us, having a private guided walk with Paolo and then meeting up with his wife Enrica who had prepared a wonderful picnic. Paolo's knowledge of the area was fantastic and they were both very warm and friendly. It enabled us to visit a part of the island not covered by the walks. We highly recommend this.

El Hierro is a fascinating island as it has so much variety, from cloud forest to desert. You see the whole island on this trip. The accommodation and routes are excellent and the walking instructions are very clear. Some of the walks have steep ascents and descents but are not too challenging. The timings provided were pretty much right for us. The day with the guides should not be missed because they explain so much about the local geology, flora, fauna, and culture as well as being lovely people to spend a day with! The island has a small amount of tourist infrastructure (restaurants and bars) but most of the visitors are Spanish, and on the walks we only came across four other hikers in our time there.
El Hierro is an interesting island with a variety of landscapes. The walks were all different and we particularly liked the ones where we could see the sea. We felt that we got to see the majority of the island on this walking trip, enhanced by taking the guided excursion with Paolo and Enrica. This was an excellent day - Paolo is extremely knowledgeable about the volcanic nature of the island, plus he was happy to answer our many questions about other aspects of the island, its people and history. Enrica provided a delicious vegan lunch. We very much enjoyed the opportunity to swim at Tacoran before lunch. Some of the walks were very challenging, involving a lot of steep ascent and descent; the latter often on narrow, debris strewn paths. We wouldn't have been happy to do some of the walks without walking poles. On Day 4 the long walk from La Frontera to Sabinosa involves a 3.5 hour 'testing climb' up to the top; we opted to book a taxi to take us to the Hoya del Pino picnic area (20 euros) to avoid this section and started the walk from this point. The walks would be less testing in cooler conditions; it was 25/26C every day while we were there. The accommodation is variable, but overall satisfactory with the exception of the Balneario Pozo de la Salud which has a great location and lovely swimming pool, but poor quality food and an inadequate picnic. The Parador de el Hierro is superb - location, accommodation, food and service. Unfortunately the swimming pool is currently closed due to sea erosion, but there is a public swimming beach with shade and toilets less than a mile up the road. It was lovely to have a couple of nights at the Parador to relax after walking all week. We were disappointed with the pre-holiday organisation (or rather, the lack of it) from Inntravel.
These were challenging walks in attractive and varied landscapes. We had a most memorable and enjoyable day with Paulo and Enrica on the guided excursion in the southern lava fields. Paulo showed a side of the island not included in walks. He was very informative and knowledgeable on geology, fauna, flora and island history. He pointed out things that we would otherwise have missed (even with written notes). Enrica provided an impressive homemade lunch with wine (we were given the remains of the latter to take away) - lunch had the real feeling of catching up with a couple of long standing friends.
