    Don’t waste your time

    Don’t bother wasting your time. We use Viator ALL OF THE TIME and this is our first negative review. We had to call Viator in advance and buy tickets, there was no other option. Operating hours start at 9am, we arrived at 9am. An adjacent vendor told us the tour operator called him and was going to the bank and would be a few minutes late. She finally arrived at 10:40am. So, after being an hr and 40 minutes late, and a dozen of us in line, she comes be-bopping in, no apologies, no explanation, just starts collecting tickets and cash. She looked like she just rolled out of bed, and forgot to put most of her clothes on. Totally UNPROFESSIONAL!!
    Beautiful views

    Breath taking views from up above. Really enjoyed taking pictures of the whole island. Highly recommend seeing and visiting faro Blanco restaurant next door for delicious food.

    Kristine_S, Jun 2023
    Booked 2 tickets for Wednesday June 21st. Got to the lighthouse around 3:30 the door was closed. I reached out via my husband’s ticket account and we were told we had come after 4 pm. Which was false they had already locked up. Would like to have our tickets refunded.
    Response from Host, Jun 2023
    Hi Kristine, we received your message at 5:10 stating 'We are here,' but if that wasn't the case, we will still verify with the individual in charge of the lighthouse to investigate why it may have closed earlier on that day. However, as we have already informed you via Viator message, to process a refund for your booking, please reach out to Viator directly as you made the reservation through their platform. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds for bookings made through third-party services. Thank you for understanding.
    Excellent view
