Indicative private-group price
From €450 per private group.
The final price is confirmed before booking and may vary with party size, pick-up area, the vehicle required and the services included.
Conditions, safety and possible changes
Garachico’s pools are a landscape visit; swimming cannot be guaranteed due to swell, closure or time. I may reverse the order to avoid traffic and work better with light and opening times.
