Tony is also an expert water guide—kayaking and paddleboarding tours are his specialty. He has a natural way of making people feel at ease on the water, helping them find peace and joy in the ocean. He teaches guests to respect its power while inviting them to slow down, take it all in, and connect with the beauty around them.
On land, Tony is just as at home. As a skilled mountain bike guide, he brings energy, focus, and a love for the trail to every ride. Watching guests light up with adrenaline and pride as they conquer the terrain is one of his favorite parts of the job. With every ride, he creates memorable moments that highlight the breathtaking views and the thrill of the adventure.
