An absolutely amazing trip, the guides were all really good at catering for a ride range of abilities and being incredibly supportive. It was great fun meeting new people and seeing the amazing scenery also. Would 100% recommend this trip to anyone interested!

Tom, Vic and Rich were the perfect hosts as always making everyone feel comfortable and engaged. The snowshoeing was just incredible especially with the perfect snow and conditions that Tom booked for us! Walking across the roof of a chalet was an unexpected but enjoyable treat and the views were spectacular in every direction. If you’re thinking of visiting Switzerland then you really can’t go wrong with these guys!

The most fantastic trip! Our guides Tom, Rich and Foxy were brilliant, so knowledgeable and full of fun. I honestly can’t choose one particular highlight although we fitted a lot in- three days of snowshoeing, a Christmas market, the St Bernard hospice, visiting and eating at a laiterie, and of course meeting the wonderful dogs!

Our guide Tom, was knowledgeable, interesting and funny. The trip was just amazing, helped by the fact Tom made everyone feel included and brought the whole team together, regardless of age or ability. Dinner with monks was an experience, the cheese factory was fun, and cuddling the dogs was awsome.

Thoroughly enjoyed this well organised trip. The hospitality from people at the Riyadh and the guides jawed and Muhammed couldn't of been better. They ran it all extremely professionally and I felt at ease on the whole trek with the organisation. Couldn't of had a better first solo trip and met some amazing people along the way.

Perfect beginner’s mountaineering! Went in early December and it was actually quite cold at summit. Guides were so professional and the food along the way great. Don’t kid yourself though the hut is very difficult to sleep on day 2, but the Riad in imlil very nice and cozy. The hike wasn’t hard until the summit day due to cold feet and wind. You get acclimated well over the day before. I’d wear more stiff boots next time for that day and normal hiking shoes for the rest of hike as mule can carry extra gear.

What an incredible experience! I've been to 30 countries and this is one of the best trips I've ever done. Toubkal is a difficult climb but the feeling you get as you approach the summit as the sunrises is simply indescribable. It is a stunning view and such a great accomplishment to summit the tallest peak in north Africa. The service from the team was incredible and Jawad was an amazing guide throughout the Toubkal portion. The 3 days to the Sahara are a long trip in the van but watching the sunset and rise the next day over literal mountains of sand is a sight you will never forget. If you are thinking about doing this trip, I wouldn't hesitate!

What a fantastic experience one of the most exciting things I have ever done. Our guide Ngima went above and beyond he was incredible you need more stars 🌟 I would give him 10. So knowledgeable and nothing we to much. He looked after us all so well. Buddha and som our porter were like machines carring our bags and making sure everything was ready for us. We were also so lucky to have incredibly weather. Fantastic views would 100% recommend. The smile didn't leave my face from start to finish.

Skyhook / Freedom Adventures thank you very much for making this trip fun, memorable, smooth and safe as possible. From the start, all questions were clearly answered by Prashant (Freedom adventures) via messaging. Skyhook may need to update some bits in the website: itinerary/things to bring. Do not exchange money at the airport, wait til you get to the hotel as exchange rate is better there. Get used to the tipping culture upon arriving. Thamel park hotel and all of the tea houses we stayed in were a lot better than I expected. More comfortable even for an adventure holiday such as this. 1L bottled water cost about 20-50 rupees while in the city, then goes up to 100-150 from Lukla. Meals in the tea houses cost about 600-900. Hot drinks from 150-300. Prices get more expensive as you go higher. Cant really complain as getting the goods up there is difficult, often carried by porters and/or mules/yaks. A wide variety of meal to choose from, with vegetables options being a safer bet for the tummy. We did save a lot using purification tablets with tap water - had no issues. Wifi and charging were available with at most tea houses (300-500), signal is quite intermitent. Holiday Inn at Namche had free charging in the rooms. No issues with this as I tried to stay away from the internet while in this trip, and my powerbank lasted for the trip. Hot showers were a delight (500-700), although not advisable from Lobuche to Gorak Shep. Bistari-bistari (slow-slow) pacing did very well for our group. Managed not to get tired with the slow/low heart pace and kept our energy for the duration of the trip. Does really well for the body to acclimatise. Remember this is not a race! We were very lucky to have a very good / clear weather for the duration of the trip. Mostly sunny and some cloudy days. Trail gets dusty so buffs are recommended. To our guide Ngima: Thank you very much for being an exemplary, knowledgeable, patient, reliable, nice and fun person. He did receive us very well, telling us the know-hows, answering our questions with regards to anything/everything, always looking after us from trekking to the tea houses, being a professional, preparing a surprise birthday cake, and even inviting us to his home. Words aren't enough to show how much we appreciate him. Thanks very much buddy! All the best and til next time! To our porters Buddha and Som: The ironmen and unsung heroes!!! Thank you very much guys for all the hard work you have put in this trip. We seldom see them each day but it was fun hanging out with them during the last few days. Without these boys, this trip would not be possible. Very thankful not only in carrying our heavy duffle bags, but also in assisting us thru the EBC and Kala Patthar treks. I highly recommend this trip!!! Not only for the sake of reaching base camp, but also for learning/experiencing the wonderful country that is Nepal: it's people, culture, beliefs, food, music and beautiful landscape. Can't wait to come back: thinking of Mera or Island Peak next, then probably Gokyo lake and/or Annapurna base camp after. So much to look forward to :)

I did the EBC trek solo with Freedom Adventures and their amazing mountain guide Ngawang and Nobin our porter. Ngawang is very experienced mountain leader, professional, passionate about Nepal, the mountains and trekking. I found out that he was a local Sherpa guide and had the chance to experience the local way of living, an experience I wouldn't have otherwise! Ngawang was very accommodating, flexible and resourceful. He would always ask me about the highlights/lowlights of my day to make sure that I was having a good experience in the trek. He was giving me great advice on eating, drinking, altitude and my pace always making sure that I had the best chance to complete the trek. After observing my progress, fitness and health he also suggested that we change itinerary and complete the Ama Dablam Basecamp too which was a bonus day during my trek! He always shared with me his knowledge of the area, the local traditions as well as the best places to shop, eat and use of facilities. He was also a lot of fun and a great person to share this special journey with and kept me good company while on the trek when we chatted endlessly comparing life in Nepal with life in the west and the importance of education for the future generations. As I was a solo trekker I had the chance to also meet my porter Nobin which I couldn't be more grateful for all his hard work! He was always so hard working, polite, smiling and offered to carry my backpack for the most challenging parts of the trek. Nobin was working so well with Ngawang and followed his instructions, was always on time and willing to offer his help to me so I can have a comfortable experience. I enjoyed having the chance to meet my porter (thanks to Ngawang who made it possible) and get to know the person that was doing all this hard work carrying my stuff but also to understand a little more about his life and his goals! Without Ngawang and Nobin I wouldn't have been able to complete this trek and also have this lifetime experience. It felt like we were a family for two weeks while trekking! Freedom adventure choice of tea houses was great! They were all clean and comfortable with very accommodating and friendly staff. In particular, the following two tea houses stood out to me: Buddha Lodge Pangboche the lady that runs this tea house was so friendly and the tea house was in a very good condition with lots of attention to detail and Holiday Inn Namche where I had the chance to share the local drink with the owner's family and Ngawang in their kitchen while they were preparing my dinner. I was well impressed by how well organised and clean the kitchen was! Ngawang also informed me of the company policies and safety standards Freedom Adventures agency uses and I was reassured that I had picked the correct trekking company for my trek. Freedom Adventures always put safety first and this is obvious by how the staff are behaving - always with safety in mind, without taking risks and ensuring that I was safe at all times. There is a good reason that Freedom Adventures is one of the top class agencies in Nepal! Having tight safety procedures, excellent staff and values that resonated with mine and giving me a lifetime experience in meeting the culture of Nepal! I definitely wouldn't have been able to have this amazing experience without Ngawang and Nobin and I will be sure to request them to support me on my future trips to Nepal! I highly recommend and encourage anyone considering trekking in Nepal to get in touch with Freedom Adventures and book their adventure with Ngawang and Nobin!

My recent completion of the 6-Day Mt. Toubkal & Sahara Desert trek has left me with a sense of awe and fulfillment. As I unwind for a day in the vibrant city of Marrakesh before my flight home tomorrow, I find myself reflecting on the incredible experience, and there's one individual who truly stood out amidst this adventure: our driver from Mt. Toubkal to the Sahara, Mohammed. It's no exaggeration to say that Mohammed is the epitome of a safe and reliable driver in all of Morocco. Throughout the winding and often challenging mountain passes, I never once felt a sense of worry or anxiety, all thanks to his steady and expert driving. Mohammed's competence and reassuring presence significantly contributed to the overall enjoyment of this exceptional trek. The journey itself was filled with remarkable highlights, with two unforgettable moments standing out: conquering the summit of Mt. Toubkal and riding camels through the Sahara under the starlit sky. Climbing Mt. Toubkal was an adventure in itself, and reaching the summit was an achievement that brought a profound sense of accomplishment. The breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains from the top were absolutely worth every step of the climb. Riding camels through the Sahara Desert by the light of the stars was a surreal and magical experience. The vast, silent dunes illuminated by the celestial canopy created a sense of wonder that words can hardly capture. It was a journey through time and a connection with nature that left an indelible mark on my memory. For anyone considering embarking on this unforgettable journey, I highly recommend requesting Mohammed as your driver. He not only ensured our safety on the road but also added an extra layer of comfort to our entire expedition. His attention to detail, knowledge of the terrain, and friendly demeanor made this trek not just adventurous but also stress-free. I can't thank him enough for making this trip an extraordinary and memorable experience, one that will undoubtedly stay with me for a long time.

The Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu is an adventure of a lifetime. we had the best guide Javier ...thank you so much for the care, guidance and most importantly the knowledge & passion you shared with us all. Great group of people all came together in time of need, helped / encouraged each other, shared emotions, laughs and lives. I would highly recommend this trip. I do recommend you do the suggested training plan, arrive 2 or 3 days earlier to help adapt to the altitude ahead of Day 2 challenge. Other recommendation to trip organisers is Day 2 should be shortened.....this is the reason why i've given it a 4 star.

Unbelievable experience. Hiking at altitude is no joke, take the cautions on everyone's reviews seriously! We would definitely recommend landing in Cusco ATLEAST two days early to acclimatise (and to explore as its beautiful) and start taking the altitude sickness tables the day before you fly and continue taking them throughout. That being said, if you can overcome the challenges of altitude, the experience is totally worth it. The hardest day by far is the first day of hiking - we got up at 4am, started hiking at around 5:30 and we didn't get to our next campsite until around 18:30, this was brutal on both the physical and mental resilience due to the distance covered and reaching the highest altitude of the trip at such an early stage of the trip. We couldn't fault the tour guides who looked after us every step of the way as well as having such extensive knowledge on the history and culture. Making it to Machu Picchu on the final day was the icing on top of the cake - the pictures do not do it justice and nothing will replace visiting it and seeing it with your own eyes. Definitely take the advice and guidance of the tour guides to get up early on all of the days you visit tourist hot spots (e.g. humantay lake and Machu Picchu) - our experience at these sites was so much better for it before thousands of other tourists arrived later. The porters and chefs were incredible - we are two vegans and were catered to just as well as everyone else. Everyone in Peru were so friendly and accommodating and its such a beautiful country - we miss it already!

Our trip to Mount Toubkal was amazing. Highly recommend using skyhook adventures as everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. Our guide Mohamed and chef Hamed were brilliant. Mohamed had vast knowledge of the mountains with nearly 30 years experience. He was very informative about everything along the way. Oor chef Hamed kept us full with the most amazing meals. I'm Coeliac and required a gluten free diet which Hamed was able to cater for in his lovely Tangine dishes with sides of rice....no gluten issues in my time with Skyhook. Breakfast is mostly boiled eggs so if you are going I would suggest taking some gf bread to fill you up before a day on the hills. All in all those was the best trip I have done to date and would Highly recommend 👌

Challenging, but a great, memorable experience. Consistent to my previous trip with Skyhook, everything from the pick up from my hotel on the first day to the final drop off went to plan without any issues. The main guide John was always considerate to the safety and well-being of everyone in the group, and he had great knowledge of the wildlife and local environment. The porters deserve a special mention, with the trip not being possible without them. They presented as hospitable and polite at all times, and it was incredible to see how hard working they all were to make our trip so memorable. THANK YOU

The Day 1 description is misleading. It says that "You will be met by your guides in Nairobi at 9am and driven to the remote town of Sagana. Here you'll have some refreshments and receive a briefing from your guides, before continuing to Chogoria and the start of your hike. You'll enter the Mt. Kenya forest at an altitude of 1,600m, and make your way through dense forest to an altitude of around 2,950m. " .The truth is that we start the hike at 2950m and its only 1.5 hr hike on day 1. I compare with my earlier hike on Mount Kilimanjaro and find that the Guide was very negative and did not give enough confidence that he will ensure the safety of the people. My nephew got scared by the negative altitude of the guide John. He would have summitted if John would not have scared him so much. There was no oxymeter with the guide for him to check the oxygen levels. I think this is a must to be done at breakfast and dinner everyday for the guide to know the real situation of the travellers. Food was very good and tasty. We were lucky to have a very good group.

I loved this challenge. It’s a tough day and you cover something close to a 60,000 step count, so preparation for a long time on your feet is key. The trip was well organised and the guides were friendly and knowledgable. It’s a very busy trail which was less appealing but can’t be helped. For my trip the weather turned for the worst about half way through so I strongly recommend anyone attempting this challenge packs their waterproof trousers and dry socks! A great experience, in beautiful scenery, and another challenge ticked off the list. Loved it.

This is a truly amazing trip. I did it with my 3 grown up kids in September/ October and met a really fabulous group of people. The guides led by Kostas were 100% brilliant, reliable, informative, knowledgeable and such fun. Their enthusiasm for the Greek treks is infectious. They made huge efforts to ensure we saw the real Greece, experienced some local foods, the culture and countryside. The treks weren’t difficult but you do need a fair level of fitness. The zip line and tree house are no longer part of this trip but the rafting more than makes up for it - the guides on the days rafting were really entertaining and made the experience so enjoyable. We even had the chance to jump from rocks into the river. The views and sunsets were spectacular and the little touches from Kostas and his team made our trip quite amazing. Highly recommend this adventure. Would advise time in Athens as well to see the sights. We also extended our trip and had a few days on Aegina, just off the mainland, if you can do something like this it’s adds to the experience. Well done and huge thanks Kostas, Shira and Hermes

I just had the best time! The guides Sam and Geoff were superb from start to finish, from the welcome and introductions to the instructions and lessons and then there was the camping and food provision! The whole thing was planned with precision. It helped that we just had the best group and although 8 of us were already there as friends the other 4 were lone travelers and slotted in great with our crowd and we had the best time getting to know them. Not going to lie it was hard work in bits with the paddling and maneuvering, and the weather was changeable but we did have a couple of glorious days followed by a couple of tougher days where conditions were wet and wild (it is Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 after all!) but this only added to our experience. There were lots and lots of laughs along the way. Thank you to all the gang, and here’s to the next time 👍😁

What an amazing experience that was. 5 adventure filled days with our amazing guides Sam and Geoff who were very engaging, funny, and experts in their field. I can't praise them highly enough. Every aspect of our trip was planned brilliantly. Great cooking by Sam and welcome, hearty meals prepared for us after a good days paddling. Both Geoff and Sam's experience called in to play when the weather was a bit windy and "bouncy" on Loch Ness, but our safety was always of paramount importance and rafting the boats together to get through the tough spell added even more enjoyment to an already fantastic trip. Throw in wild camping in great locations, a great bunch of friends (existing and now new) and stunning scenery throughout. Best tip is to stick to what they recommend for packing for this trip, keep it light. Thanks again to the team.

Our four day hike in Mont Blanc was amazing ., our guide Paddy was the best and we could not have asked for a nicer much of people to hike with .. … hikes were tougher than anticipated but we were truly rewarded by incredible scenery … my one critique would be standard of food in the evenings… no choice and not enough of it !!! And restaurants at top of mountains being closed after an arduous climb was a little disappointing … overall a very memorable experience. .. thanks to Alpes Adventures !!

To say this was the trip of a life time would be an understatement. We loved every minute. Our guid Paddy was the perfect guide, support, friend and companion making this journey a fantastic experience. He was supportive when needed, encouraged us when we struggled and laughed with us over a drink. I will never forget this trip and I’ve already recommended it to lots of people. It went like clock work. Ok the food on the first night and breakfast was a bit disappointing but as a group we got over it. The accommodation was perfect, improving each night. The walks were very challenging and I think this needs to be stressed as one or two of the group didn’t make it but the views and the places were stunning. We were very lucky to have such a good group of people who made this trip so enjoyable. Thank you for helping us book this amazing trip.

What an incredible trip! Everything about our time away was fantastic; the scenery, the food, the rofugio’s, the lake swimming, the wildlife, the companionship, the laughter and ice cream! There are too many highlights to mention. The trek was well paced, with a thoroughly knowledgeable, experienced and personable guide in Mark, and plenty of stops to take pictures and experience the delicious local cuisine. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to get outdoors for 4 days and feel alive. Thanks for such a wonderful time on some stunning mountains.

Whoa! This was quite possibly the hardest thing I have ever done, but Oh my!! It was so worth it. Absolutely brilliant trip, very professionally organised, Mark, our guide was fantastic. He made sure we were informed and safe, great knowledge and expert guidance. Scenery was epic, our group have now become great friends. My only critique is possibly that it was hard to determine the level of difficulty and fitness needed on the Skyhook website before the hike. I’m super glad I did some fitness training running up to it, otherwise sections of the hike would have been really difficult. Overall though it’s been fantastic. Can’t wait for our next one!! 👍🏻

Had the most incredible 4 days with a brilliant bunch of people. Views were just spectacular at every turn. Awe inspiring! Food was delicious (veggie for me)and thought all the refugios were fantastic with really friendly and hard working staff. The Walter Bonnatti was particularly stunning. Mark was the most brilliant guide. His wisdom, experience and humour really helped to unite our group and enrich the whole experience. Just wish we had gone for the full trek. It is important to have a reasonable level of fitness ahead of this to really enjoy it. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Amazing experience with a lovely group of people.. Guides Mark and Dom were excellent , patient understanding and knowledgeable. You need a good level of fitness for this trip it can be challenging in parts . Food wasn’t great and there was no real choice .. lunches are organised for you and due to the lack of choice we did ask for something different, this was organised by Mark. Tom who met us at the beginning of the trip kindly made us some sandwiches, however he did make comments which we felt were quite patronising, this attitude was also noted when he met us all at the start of the trip . Overall I would highly recommend this experience……

A truly amazing time - the group, the mountains, the views, the weather and most of all our guide, Alena, who looked after us so well, provided lots of information on the way and really supported the whole group and all the different levels of ability. The trek itself isn’t a walk in the park, not for your average Joe anyway. With that said I enjoyed the challenge, everyone made it up and down again (several times!) so there is as element of being able to achieve more than you thought. That’s my experience anyway. The views are to die for, so don’t forget to look up 😉😊

Amazing hikes every day! Our guide, Christel, was fantastic - there were times when I did not think I would make it up the mountain but she set a good pace and I felt good (but tired!) when I got to the top. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the food on the trip (especially breakfast) is not the best but if you know that going in you can set your expectations. I found electrolyte tablets to be very helpful (dissolves in your drinking water) and make sure you stay hydrated and snack along the way. Great trip, highly recommend!

This trip for me was fantastic! I personally feel it was challenging and demands a good level fitness to endure the long days of hiking in steep mountainous terrain repeated over the full four days. But you get rewarded by most fabulous views that take your breath away and makes it well worth the effort. Our guide Charles was fantastic. He was helpful, friendly, supportive and kept our group together all the way through. His knowledge about the area was brilliant so kept us entertained with interesting facts. Accommodation and food wise, it was good, we had clean rooms and good food. Overall my experience on this trip was amazing and totally recommend it anyone looking for a great adventure.

I would say that you definitely need a decent level of fitness for this trip as it is challenging in parts but as long as you are aware of that and train accordingly then you won’t have a problem. If you haven’t already booked then don’t hesitate. It’s the best adventure ever.

Having looked at all the other reviews, I’d like to add so useful information. The first night’s accommodation did sell beer and wine and we all sat in the sun watching the glaciers and mountains - truly amazing! We shared a 14-person dorm (male and female) - it was totally unusual but absolutely fine, and we all slept well (but do take ear plugs). Day two we stopped in a mountain hut for “elevenses” that sold delicious cakes and coffee. Later that afternoon we stopped at two other mountain huts for drinks (cash only). The only reason we could stop is because we started walking at 6.30am and “cracked on” - so if you only wake at 8am and then just “potter”, you probably won’t have time to stop as often as we did. Our guide Mark was brilliant and he knew all the places to stop (water and food). In conclusion - it’s a short holiday, so get up early, don’t carry too much food or water (Mark told us when we could fill up), relax and enjoy the stunning alpine scenery!

Our guide John was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and flora. He managed our team well, even though there were some very different fitness levels he still managed to get everyone up the mountain. The reason I give 4 starts is because I personally found the food to be very bland. I think maybe the team were trying to cater to westerners to much but we would have loved some Kenyan and African food. And less processed meats like hot dog and ham. But I’d like to re-emphasise that I’d recommend this trip to anyone interested in mount Kenya

Still buzzing from this trip! We were blessed with fabulous weather in early September, and spectacular views at every turn. Thanks to our great guide Laurence for ensuring the hike was enjoyable and fun for us all. It's certainly a challenge at times (3 very steep ascents over the mountain passes) - you will enjoy the trip so much more if you are fit and used to long hikes carrying your backpack. I found it frustrating at times waiting for the slower hikers in our group to catch up ( 2 people did drop out after day 2 which improved things considerably) - our hike would have been better managed with 2 guides perhaps? However, overall it was a great experience with a fun bunch of people and I would not hesitate to recommend.

We were picked up from our accommodation in Marrakesh, driven to Imlil, where we stayed in a riad, clean, comfy and good food. After breakfast the next day, we met our guide, Abdul, he was excellent!! his english was good, he chatted to us all through the hike, pointing out places of interest. He paced the walk perfectly, I don’t think all of our group we’d have made it to the summit if he hadn’t set the pace so perfectly on the 2nd day, which started with breakfast at 3.30am!! The views at the summit made the early start so worth while, amazing. I would highly recommend this trip!!!

I really enjoyed the trip. It was hard and rewarding at the same time. Our group was great and our guides Alena and Min always made sure that no one was lagging behind and set a pace for us. Day 2 was the hardest as it was the longest. To anyone thinking of doing this trip be prepared to share space (dormitories on all 3 nights) and have no hot shower, be physically prepared as I felt that I wasn’t, even with doing weekend hikes and going to gym regularly. Even with all challenges, I would do it all again without a doubt!

I had been so excited about booking this trip to experience the Mont Blanc trail...and then when i found out this weekend feel on the UTMB, even more so. The guides Alena and Min were fabulous as we were a big group of 14 with many different levels of fitness. i do though wish that with this big group that there had been another guide to support. I am partially deaf and have always been uncomfortable in large groups...the guides were very happy to repeat themselves...numerous times, to make sure that i had the information i needed AND to allow me to see a friend running the UTMB on the early hours of the last day. 4 out of 5 stars NOT due to the experience given by the guides AT ALL!! They couldnt have done anymore. 4 out of 5 for the company not catering for such a large and varied group with difference experience and fitness levels. Lastly because i felt very put on the spot when an alternative route was suggested for the 3rd day because of the UTMB. I felt bad for the guides for having to make this suggestion and just felt awful about being adamant i wanted to stay with the original route. I booked for the experience BUT the UTMB was a bonus for booking. I travelled with a friend who had her birthday on the 3rd day, eveyone made this very special for her and i am sure she will not forget this experience in the mountains. I will be back in the mountains again soon - truly beautiful thank you

They really take care of you the whole way. Our guide Mark was amazing as well! He got to know everybody and kept the group together, making sure to help anybody who needs it. He knows how to lead the hike and paces it well according to your group. He was really motivating and friendly. He also can really read the group and each person well so he can in a way anticipate what the group needs. He's very knowledgeable and it's a joy to talk to him. Overall the hike itself is a challenge (it's my first major hike and due to illness wasn't able to condition as much as I would have wanted to before it) but the guide and the team behind it have planned it in a way that you have a great experience. The views were magnificent and each day was different both in the trail you walked and the views you would see. It was a great first experience of hiking for several days, staying in mountain lodges, Alpine weather and views (gorgeous views, treacherous weather) and I highly recommend it!

Wow. Emily and I have been looking forward to this trip for over two years and as the time approached and the weather reports suggested rain all week we were a little anxious. From minute one at the pick up Terry welcomed us with motivational smiles and as the rest of the team arrived we were soon into introductions and chatter. Our guides Lianne and Stephen were amazing. Instructions and advice on what to pack in what container were simple, getting the canoes ready for the water was easy and we were on our way within an hour from being dropped at the canal. Whilst day one was "wet" we still managed to get some social time under the tarp with drop of wine. The weather then turned in our favour.... A wet lunch or two followed but the evenings at camp became very sociable and the entire team got on brilliantly. The whole trip was a team effort, pitching and striking camp, cleaning up, loading the boats and portaging were made so easy because everyone chipped in. The meals were fabulous and no one went hungry. The canoeing was amazing and the sailing even more so. Thank you Lianne and Stephen for a fabulous experience.

Just got back from an amazing summit to Kilimanjaro, absolutely faultless trip, guides Derek and Augustine were amazing, encouraging and very professional, only thing I would probably do differently is book a toilet, now we didn’t initially because we thought someone has to carry it, but it gets emptied at each camp and especially in the middle of the night if you have to get up it’s difficult to navigate where the toilets are in each camp. I celebrated half a century during the trip and the chef even baked a huge cake iced cake and they all sang to me at night, totally memorable experience which I will never forget, definitely take ear plugs, vitamin C tabs to flavor water, take some nice treats to share around and most of all be kind, these guys work hard and earn little so tip whatever you can at the end. We booked the hot springs and waterfall tour as we had 1 day spare and didn’t fancy traveling 5 hrs each way to do safari, roads are slow and a bit crazy so we were glad we just booked a day tour after.

The wild camping in general was so much fun and the guides help to create a team ethos which adds hugely to the enjoyment of the trip.

My fiancé and I participated in the 4-day Norwegian Kayaking and Hiking trip between 17th - 20th August. Our guide, Frederik, was extremely knowledgeable and supportive throughout, and the trip was suitable for all levels as we were kayaking beginners. We learned kayaking skills, how to fish, and facts about Norway and the breathtaking landscape around us. Our highlight was kayaking on the famous Lysefjord, including around Smuggler’s Cave and Pulpit Rock; meeting a great group of people; and tasting reindeer sausages (delicious). Would highly recommend this trip to others 10/10. Thank you :)

Amazing experience! Had a very memorable and fun time especially during the hike. Such beautiful views and landscape. The food, culture and especially the people are nice. We were in a small group but very well taken care of. Our guides Hassan and Hicham are incredible. Also special mention to our cook (forgot his name) and his 'assistant' Elias for all the special meals they prepared during the entire hike. And to our mule who carried the heavy stuff. Hike was a bit challenging but manageable. Mostly hot during the day but plenty of stores selling water along the trail. Gets a bit chilly during the early morning ascent to the summit. Shower is available in the refuge. Definitely recommended! :) The Dades gorge and Sahara experience was nice as well. Be prepared for a long drive but plenty of stops for a bit of break. Beautiful scenery along the way. The camping facility in the Sahara was better than I expected, has beds and private toilet/shower. Slept with the doors opened though since it was a bit hot inside at night (August). Definitely recommend trip for a very memorable experience if you are feeling quite adventurous but still have the amenities of comfort :)

Really enjoyed this adventure through the Beautiful Scottish Highlands in the river Spey! Our guide Scott was absolutely fantastic, warm and friendly and encouraging. As well as being knowledgeable and passionate about the history and wildlife of the area he took the time to coach us with the skills we would need. Also very thoughtful with the very tasty high quality camp food. And catered very well for the vegans and vegetarians in the group . For me I wanted to improve my canoe skills having done the great Glen trail previously , and on this trip I wanted to experience grade 1 and 2 water / rapids that the river Spey provides. Which I certainly got, very exciting! if you're a beginner I would recommend talking to in your Element about what this entails, they are very helpful. The last day paddling out to Spey bay was a real highlight, wildlife is amazing!

In the words of Tina Turner ‘Simply The Best’ - one of the best experiences I’ve ever had and will live with me forever. As a 71 year old marathon runner, this new experience was challenging and, with the guidance and mentorship of our amazing guide Paul whose knowledge and awareness of working to the strengths of a team, we were able to complete the course successfully. In golf terms I’m on the ‘back nine’ in life but I would like to leave a legacy that these well organised challenges are not just for the young - the importance of taking part, overcoming any fears , the camaraderie when forming a bond with your fellow climbers and the support given to each other to complete the course- fantastic event, well organised and I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to challenge themselves- I guarantee you won’t be disappointed

Be prepared for less than ideal weather but don’t let that stop you - this was a stunning trip with a great group.

From someone who hasn’t ‘Hiked’ before- This has been one of my favourite ever experiences hands down. Tour guides: Excellent knowledge, interactive, friendly and extremely organised. We saw how another competitor group operated and it was clear as day that Alps adventures were so much better, from Having lunches organised on arrival- to seamless check ins at the lodges. No stress or hassle at any point. 10/10. Food was great at every stop over. Tom has clearly perfected this trip over time and I literally have 0 faults. - Makes time and effort to interact with everyone. Mark- again very knowledgeable - easy to talk to, walked with people at their own pace throughout- a comforting character. Both men a credit to this adventure, you both made it special! The views: I have no words. Felt like I was expecting a Dragon to fly over an ice mountain! Indescribable - I’ve been to the grand canyon and got bored after 30 minutes ‘“it really is just rocks everywhere” but this place is something else. Truly mesmerising . I would encourage you to remember to look around you at all times- it’s very easy to just keep your eyes on the floor in the direction which you are walking. Remember to embrace the views! Company- the guys and girls on the tour were second to none. Made friends for life- I feel I could turn up in Holland or Sweden just to have a coffee with some of the guys after a year and nothing would have changed. Really beautiful people. Everyone is like minded- all there for an adventure and a great time. Some people in pairs, some solo travellers. Take ear buds! Prepare for snoring- likelihood someone will but all character building! :p Most importantly- Prepare for a brilliant adventure, full of memories.

Such a wonderful, special few days. Some truly beautiful scenery and a real sense of accomplishment to have have canoed some 90k+ across Scotland. I had kayaked before but not canoed much but picked it up easily. Our guides Geoff and Sam were great, kept us safe and gave us great tips and guidance and pushed us on when we needed it. Their communication was really clear - we knew what was happening throughout the day and they updated us when the weather had other ideas! We got so lucky with the group - a really brill 10 people from various walks of life. The final day we all swam in Loch Ness together which was so great. Well done Helena for instigating the morning swims! I’m so glad I experienced this with those guys. Sam was a great cook and we had more than enough food throughout the day. It would have been good to see more local produce used perhaps. And snacks - nuts/ healthier options in addition would be good. But these are minor points - I wouldn’t let that put you off as it’s a truly wonderful experience. One not to be forgotten. Ps - top tip: Inverness Cabs deliver alcohol near to camp on the final night - if you have a bit of a wine-loving group like we did. A well deserved reward at the end! Hattie and Ashley

A wonderful trip - this was my first as a solo female (2nd with Skyhook) and I was looked after so well. Our guide was John who has 25 years experience on the mountain and was so knowledgeable and checked in with us with great advice every step of the way. His passion for his job and the local area is clear and he was able to give us interesting and useful information all the way along which made the trip another level. He is a font of knowledge about plants, animals, geography, local conservation and communities. We were also joined by an incredible team of 6 porters who couldn’t have thought of any more lovely little touches - the Wi-Fi hut (toilet), tablecloth over the table for meals, such great food and hot water bottles at night - it was definitely an added luxury we were not expecting. The campsites were in the most scenic places and photos just don’t do it justice. Summit night was tough but John kept us going - pole pole, and we all summited at sunrise before the clouds came over. Communication was good and I felt safe and confident at all times. If you are considering this trip you should go for it! I’m already looking at what I can do next…

Beautiful scenery, lot of up and down hills, but manageable with a good level of fitness.

Beautiful hikes each day, lots of uphill and downhill to be expected in the mountains, but we could go our own pace and plenty of stops along the way to take in the views or enjoy a drink/snack. Well fed and watered in the hostels. Highly recommend and thank you Tom for bringing the energy and good vibes!
