“Excellent guided hike with Jackson as our guide. We were picked up by tuk-tuk from our hotel and guided up Little Adam’s Peak. It’s an easy hike to do, but it was nice to have someone to show us the route since we had limited time in the area. It probably takes about 20 mins to walk to the top with great views. Sadly, there was no sunset due to the clouds, but we could clearly see Ella Rock, which we were due to climb on another day. We were dropped back down Ella town centre for good after the hike on our request. Definitely recommend doing it if you…”
