The Advantage of Local Knowledge
Skipper John
Owner
An adventure hike is by definition sure to turn up the unexpected. When you are completely relying on your own resources, preparation is key. And as every location is different, it’s LOCAL KNOWLEDGE that will help make you more comfortable, and ensure a happy hike.
“Skipper John” is the man with the local knowledge. He’s lived here all his life, knows the island like the back of his hand, and freely imparts his vast store of useful insights to his clients.
Go with Skipper John … a man who takes seriously his “duty of care” while you are on the island… really the only safe choice.
