Overview
Some trips do not fit a fixed excursion. A family wanting to see three places at their own pace, a photographer chasing light, a group with different plans each day, a business visitor with meetings across the island: all of them are better served by their own vehicle and driver.
We hire out air-conditioned vehicles with an English-speaking driver by the half day, the full day or the length of your stay. You set the route. You stop where you like. If you change your mind at eleven in the morning, that is fine.
Our drivers know the island and will suggest where to eat, when to move to beat the tide and which road is passable after rain. They are drivers rather than licensed guides, so if you want commentary at the sites, we add a guide.
Rates depend on the vehicle, the number of days and the distance covered. Tell us what you have in mind and we will quote.
