An excellent trip! Three days of hiking in such beautiful scenery. Our guide, Ondrej, was the best tour guide I have met. He was very passionate about his job and took great pride in explaining interesting information about where we were trekking and the history of this very nice part of the world. In short, the perfect guide. Everyone on this trip was simply amazing and we all became good friends. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a great outdoor experience together with great food and a good laugh!

Booked through Skyhook but the operator was Nordic Paddling - not clear on booking.
Skyhook were superb in keeping in touch throughout the process after confirming our booking and up to departure. Detail was really good.
The immediate problem was that the experience was not as we expected and the package was a lot more basic than we had envisaged.
Nordic Paddlers provided an exceptional instructor / leader who could not be criticised but the whole trip was poorly resourced. Pickup from arrival good. First night accommodation appalling - damp and cold cabin - no attempt to make the initial impression comfortable, unwashed linen on beds, poor food.
Expedition Kit provided was damp from previous users and there were limited numbers of sizes - my kit didn’t fit me as I got what was left in the shake out. Really bad start.
On trip - campsite very basic - we had to establish camp and de camp totally - no shelter provided until we established it - no wood for fire on site. Food really poor in quality and volume throughout the trip - felt sorry for the two young guys who were hungry all the time. Tents were very good.
The location was enjoyable. Future guests need to know that this is not easy Kayakking - the Fjord is wide, busy with traffic and the weather is strong. Not for those who are not physically fairly strong.
Some of our group really enjoyed the experience but the majority were unhappy overall -this was clear during discussion at various stages of the trip. Nordic Paddlers really need to up their game and I find it hard to trust Skyhook again if this is the level they partner with.

Just returned from a memorable trip, this was my second time and it didn’t disappoint. Met some great people who all bonded straight away, we had one bad day of weather but it was mostly sunny. Geoff and Marty were superb guides and explained everything so well and their cooking and good natured banter kept us all in good spirits. This trip is hard work at times and not a walk in the park but anyone who signs up will for sure have a wonderful experience.

This is my first time canoeing across Scotland. My 17 YO son and I really enjoyed it. A great experience, met wonderful people in the same group, and stunning scenery. The guides Geoff and Matt are great. Their expertise made the whole journey enjoyable. One of my best holidays ever. I would definitely recommend.

A fantastic trip made even better by our brilliant guide, Min. The walk was challenging at times but Min kept everyone's spirits high and looked after the group. The trip description is accurate and our group was fully supported throughout the trip. Top tip, pack as light as you possibly can to make the walk (especially the steep climbs) more comfortable. Would recommend this trip and if you're lucky enough to have Min as your guide then you're in for a brilliant adventure.

I loved this adventure in every way possible. The scenery, the hut experience, the food, the challenge of the hikes and the friends you make along the trail all made this a lifetime highlight! Mark, our guide, was a total star, making sure we were well looked after and got the most out of the time. The tour itself is physically challenging but in the best way possible - you feel like you push yourself but want to get up the next day and do it all again, I’m about to fly home with heavy legs but a happy heart! Thank you Skyhook team!

My 16 year old son and I have just returned from this weekend an are still raving about it. We got to experience paddleboarding, canoeing, gorge walking abseiling and an activity that is 'the most fun that you can have in the Lake District'. It was! Great companionship forged from shared experiences, a lovely campsite and, in Chucky, one of the most enthusiastic, knowledgeable and effervescent guides that you could hope for. We've had two fantastic experiences with Good2Go Adventures (having also canoed the Great Glen Canoe Trail last summer) and aim to return for more and, almost certainly, a repeat of this weekend.

I had a superb time on this trip and would absolutely recommend it. Our guide Noah was fantastic- friendly, kind, helpful, knowledgeable and fun. The kayaking was wonderful and the fjords are so beautiful. The camping was brilliant- it was such an experience to wake up right next to the water. The group was lovely and felt like a real community - as a solo traveller I made lovely friends. I would definitely recommend going for a swim in the fjord too!

Just got back from doing the Machame Route with Ahsante. Was absolutely amazing and we could not have asked for a better experience. Our lead guide Sebastian and assistant guide Calvin were brilliant and we will be forever grateful to them and the whole team (you all were amazing) for getting us all to the summit. There were often times were we thought we could not go on but they were great at encouraging us and getting us there. Thank you all again. Was great from the moment we were collected from the airport to the moment we were dropped off.

Our Canoe Across Scotland trip was planned as an adventure holiday, an excursion to push us out of our comfort zone and do something that perhaps the traditional tourist might not attempt. But it turned into so much more than that.
Picturesque views, a thrilling journey and exciting wild camping was made possible by Good2Go Adventures but especially Geoff Potts, our guide. He was unbelievably experienced, knowledgeable, kind, funny and patient. And just a generally all-round good guy. We felt supported at all times, but had the freedom to experience for ourselves. It felt like our adventure. He kept us safe (even in an amber weather warning!) and included us in decision making where possible to make sure we got to the finish line. And I will never forget the taste of his food after a long day paddling. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, but I think we’d have to insist on Geoff.
Also, a huge shout-out and thank you to Mac, our second guide. Another outdoor expert, good egg and gentleman. He made our trip with his help, his storm shelter and his funny stories.
Thank you both for the journey of a lifetime. It’s now firmly been cemented as a Core Memory and an adventure I will never forget. Can we go for round two?

What can i say? Miro, oh Miro! What a fantastic person to have as a guide. Always smiling, always calm, always extremely pleasant company. Happy to share his wonderfully colourful life stories.
A real living hero. An ultra trail runner in his spare time. He is living his own dream. Doing what he wants, doing what he is best at.
A man born in the mountains, raised in the mountains, built by the mountains, at one with the mountains. The one person you need with you in the mountains.
His knowledge and strength provide all the reassurance you will ever need.
It was an honour to have shared an unforgettable experience with such a wonderful human being.

The guide left us in Triente and told us to make our own way back to Chamonix. We had no map and had to ask other guides to help us. Our guide was rude, unprofessional and drunk two out of the three nights we were on the tour. The walk and views were amazing but the accommodation on the second night was dire and I would not recommend this trip with Alp Adventures
Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
It was definitely a weekend I will never forget, our guides Stuart and Tobias were amazing! Whilst Stuart was up ahead with all the regular kayakers, Tobias made sure that those at the back lagging like me a first timer, were good and safe. He never rushed us or tried to make us feel bad about catching up. I really appreciated it! They were both great fun and had lots of knowledge of the area, I felt very safe with the both of them and thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking! The campsite was great, clean with nice hot showers, a tea and coffee room with marshmallows for the fire. There's a little bridge to walk over and a field to get to town (we stumbled upon some cows, a little shetland pony and a billy goat). The steam train can be seen from camp and the glorious Corfe castle was visible too. The stars at night and sunrises were amazing, and was well worth getting up for. The salt pig cafe was delicious, I'm gluten free and my breakfast/lunch was absolutely lovely. I wasn't hungry at all throughout the day. The group we had were great fun too! I would definitely book again everything across the board was brilliant. Thank you boys!

I recently hiked with Alps Adventures on the Matterhorn highlights trip! Over the four days we had great fun with a fab group of people. Our guide Tom G was excellent, he was a fab guide sharing his knowledge well with our group pointing out lots of interesting facts about the mountains, environment and wildlife. The pace of our group was well balanced and we enjoyed every hike. The huts were lovely and the food tasty. The Matterhorn decided to hide for the first part of our hike but when it emerged we were treated to a beautiful a clear view and some stunning reflections on the lake. We were always given ample time and opportunities for photos. I'd recommend this hike to anyone wishing to enjoy the beautiful Swiss mountains.
Travelled on: Matterhorn Highlights
I was inspired to do this trip as it was my grandmother‘s winter playground, she was born in Bern and she was fortunate enough to have skied in Zermatt every winter.
I have always had a love of mountains, but I have never experienced an overnight backpacking hike in the mountains and sharing a dorm hut with people I did not know. I wanted this kind of experience at least once in my lifetime, hence the reason I chose the Matterhorn 4 day 3 night hike as it was a great combination of everything I wanted to experience. I was travelling solo and could not have wished for a better tour guide than Tom Goldstein and the wonderful group of other hikers who soon became like long lost friends, we all gelled instantly and we were all there for each other. Tom was such a caring observant guide who helped when help was needed, subtly guiding those with fears along the way, and helping them to overcome their fears of certain points ie the suspension bridge or a fear of narrow pathways at height. Because of his quiet and calm manner of dealing with these issues instead of hikers feeling fear he filled them with a great sense of achievement and pride, that is not a skill learnt but a natural ability of his. I have none of these fears but found it admirable to observe how he looked after everybody.
The whole of this trip was a learning curve for me which I will treasure always, thanks to my wonderful companions and guide. Making new ‘like-minded’ friends, swimming in the ice-cold but exhilarating mountain lakes, I absolutely loved that experience, and having the most magnificent views of the wondrous Matterhorn in all if its natural glory and glowing like a beacon at its very best. Memories I will carry for my lifetime. Thank you. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat I definitely would.

Christel made this trip fun and memorable, by sharing with us her experience on the mountain and setting a good pace.
She tried her best to get us the best food available at each accommodation despite limited options. The accommodation itself could have been better (especially the cold showers). Perhaps a version of this trip with better accommodation but not necessarily 5 star hotels would be a good mid point in terms of price and quality that people would pay for.

Our guide, Sandra, was absolutely fantastic—her deep passion for nature was infectious, and she had a beautiful way of connecting with everyone in the group. She not only educated us about the surroundings but also entertained us with peaceful tunes by the fjord that truly elevated the whole experience.

It was a very enjoyable trip, and overall a good experience however there were some points that could be improved. It is important that the equipment should be checked prior to issue and is in good working order, my helmet was broken and used duck tape to hold it in place, which did not work and only noticed when used. I recommend bringing your own equipment for your own security, I wish I had taken my own. Also when a member of the group decided not to continue the hike as was feeling unwell, he was expected to walk himself back to the refuge which did not seem right and was only when the group said they didn’t feel comfortable with him going alone a guide then went with him.
The route was great and the scramble was good fun, was a shame there was not much information about the history of Mt Olympus and feel this would add a lot to the experience.
I think there are lots of other companies that supply this trip and feel others may tip this one with the points raised, but still had a very enjoyable time despite some of the things mentioned above.

I have just completed the Tour du Mont Blanc four day hike with Alps Adventures (via Skyhook).
This was my first guided hike as I am usually solo up the mountains/long hikes so I was concerned in the lead-up to the trip that I may hold everyone up (I was one of the oldest, not used to hot weather/high altitude plus I am very slow on descents due to dodgy eye).
However, due to the vast knowledge and support from our guide, Grigor Wallace, I got through it! Without making me feel like a hindrance, he ensured that I did not feel rushed on some tricky areas and was always offering his hand if he felt I may need it. His passion for what he does is palpable and he is an asset to Alps Adventures.
We were in safe hands with a good driver!
The tour is very well organised and Grigor would regularly update us with weather alerts, the route, terrain and gradient as well as share his knowledge about the Alps, its history/famous climbers, the flora and local delicacies. Great sense of humour too!
The refuges were comfortable and welcoming but do not expect hot water if arriving late to a couple of them. A small sacrifice for an adventure though.
I enjoyed all of the food and you did not go to bed hungry. One of our team was gluten free and I noticed that each refuge accommodated this no problem.
We experienced all weathers ranging from intense heat to freezing rain and gales so do listen to the advice and ensure that you are prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
It is an intense four days and, for me, challenging, but with a good guide, a great group of fellow hikers (some of whom will now be friends for life), spectacular views which literally take your breath away, I would say it was the best adventure I have ever had.
Thank you so very much to Alps Adventures and to Grigor Wallace – and thank you to Skyhook for popping up on my Facebook page last October and planting the Mont Blanc seed!
Go book it – you won’t regret it!

We have just finished a great trip up Mt Kenya with Savage Wilderness through Skyhooks. Our guide John was great, helping us make it through and giving us lots of background about the area too. The porters were great too - really friendly, and always smiling. We packed some snacks, but never touched them as the chef's food was really good and plentiful. One thing I would advise anyone taking this trip is to spend the night before in Nairobi (altitude 1600m) to help with acclimatisation, because the altitude change on the trip is rapid.

A fabulous few days canoeing with a small group, just four of us plus our guide, Robbo. The first two days were amazing, we had beautiful weather and wonderful views. Paddling up Loch Ness with a strong head wind was challenging and we all had to work very hard. The wild campsites were great and I swam in every location. Robbo made sure we were all fed and watered with delicious food and a great selection of snacks.
I’d recommend this trip for folk who are physically fit - it’s not for beginners, unless the weather is guaranteed to be calm.

I thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Skyhook. The guide took good care of us, teaching us how to handle the boats and making sure we had good meals.

Now that I have had a taste of this I will be doing another canoe trip with Skyhook.

HI All,
This was an epic trip. Charles was great, very insightful across the tour and with his meditation values touched a lot of the participants on the tour. there was one instance where Charles deflected away from the planned route without everyone's agreement, which i feel should not happened. Apart from that perfect. The group itself, go on really well and helped each other out across the difficult periods.
Overall very happy and glad to give a 5 star review.

This was my first hut-to-hut hike and I had such a wonderful experience! The trip was really well-organised, thanks to our amazing guide Elisabetta — super knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The views were incredible: glaciers, mountains, and that classic Alpine scenery.
The hike definitely isn’t easy, so I’d recommend doing some training and bringing (sweet) snacks to keep your energy up. But it’s 100% worth it — you’ll be rewarded with views that leave you in awe and feeling like it’s all a little surreal, just like I did!

Travelled on: Tour du Mont Blanc Highlights
Our Kilimanjaro trek was an unforgettable experience, made truly special by the incredible team that supported us every step of the way. The porters were absolutely amazing, always smiling, full of energy, and incredibly hardworking. They were the heart of the trek, and we were constantly impressed by how quickly they responded to any issues we had. Whether it was fixing broken zips, helping with bags, or just offering encouragement, they were always there. The guides Abdullah, Innocent 1, Innocent 2, and Donald were equally outstanding. Their leadership, knowledge, and support were key to our success, especially during summit night. Without them and the summit night porters, we wouldn’t have made it to the top. The camp manager also deserves a huge thank you, he worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure camp was always set up before we arrived, no matter how tough the day had been. It was honestly a mystery how they managed it so efficiently every single time. The waiter was also fantastic, he boiled water for us whenever we needed it, even though it clearly wasn’t an easy task at altitude and in those conditions.
That said, there are a few areas where the experience could be improved. Some trekkers didn’t receive the airport transfers that were clearly advertised on the website, and one person who tried to arrange theirs was ignored, which led to them having to pay out of pocket. The tents, especially the communal and sleeping tents, were quite worn out, zips frequently broke, and while the porters and camp manager were quick to fix them, it’s clear they’re working with equipment that needs replacing. During one misty night, the communal tent became damp within minutes, which made us question how the tents would hold up in even light rain, we were lucky not to have much. The food was so tasty, but there were times when there simply wasn’t enough, and many of us had to rely on our own snacks. Vegetarians were occasionally left without a proper protein source when only chicken was served. We were also charged $160 per toilet (x2) instead of the advertised $150, and only after someone raised the issue were we refunded $20.
The tipping process was confusing and rushed, we were told before the trip that the recommended tipping range was $200–$350, but once we arrived, we were told it was $250–$450, which caused confusion and stress. On top of that, the tipping guide was only shown to us after the trek, when we were tired and back at the hotel. It would have been much better to receive this information at the start so we could plan accordingly and understand how tips were distributed. On the final day, we stopped for lunch, but the porters had to wait outside while we ate, which didn’t feel right. If there’s an option for them to join us or eat nearby, it would be good to know in advance so we can make a more inclusive choice.
Overall, the trek was an incredible experience thanks to the amazing team on the ground. However, the company should consider investing in better equipment, improving communication, and updating the information on the Skyhook website to reflect the actual experience. For the price paid, we expected more reliable gear, consistent food portions, and clearer organisation. With a few changes, this could easily go from a great trip to a perfect one.

Hi Shaista, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us — both the highlights and the areas where things could be improved.
We're so glad to hear that your Kilimanjaro trek was such a memorable adventure. The mountain team are truly the heart of the operation and we're glad to hear that the warmth, energy, and dedication of the guides and porters made such a lasting impression.
We also appreciate your thoughtful suggestions on where improvements are needed. There are some important points there and we take this feedback very seriously.
We are actively looking into some of these issues raised, as they do not meet our general standards of operation. Please rest assured that we are working to address these concerns. This includes updating equipment, improving the clarity of pre-trip information (particularly around tipping, airport transfers, and optional extras), and refining the food logistics.
We're also working to ensure that tipping procedures are communicated clearly and handled more thoughtfully as part of the team’s ongoing KPAP (Kilimanjaro Porters Assistance Project) assessment.
Your feedback has been invaluable in helping us identify areas for meaningful improvement. Our goal is always to ensure that the incredible work of our on-the-ground teams is matched by smooth logistics and clear communication throughout.
Thanks again for your candid review and congratulations on reaching the summit — an incredible achievement!

An amazing adventure. This is an extremely challenging event. Don't book unless you are prepared to train for it. We did and struggled but enjoyed the experience and fortunately did manage to summit Snowden within 24hr hours. Others on our trip unfortunately didn't manage to finish all 3 mountains. Definitely recommend it.

A fantastic four-day trek – highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc
We’ve just completed this incredible 4 day trek, covering some of the absolute highlights of the Tour du Mont Blanc, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I did the trek with my husband and our 16-year-old son, and it was an unforgettable experience for all of us.
What made it truly special was the amazing group of people we shared the adventure with – a great mix of personalities, all positive, supportive, and fun to be around.
The trek was brilliantly led by our International Mountain Leader, Grigor. Each day was thoughtfully planned and expertly guided. Grigor took the time to explain the route in detail, kept us safe throughout, and shared fascinating information about the environment, weather, and the history of the stunning places we passed through.
He was an outstanding guide – calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly caring. He went above and beyond, even carrying one of the group’s backpacks up the mountain to ensure they could keep going comfortably. That kind of dedication and attention to the group’s wellbeing made a real difference.
If you’re thinking of doing this trek, don’t hesitate – and if you can, ask for Grigor. You’ll be in excellent hands.

** An Unforgettable Mont Blanc Trek – Perfectly Planned, Exceptionally Guided **
I completed a trek to Mont de Blanc last week and I can’t speak highly enough of the experience. From the very beginning, the arrangements were seamless — everything was thoughtfully planned, from the logistics and accommodations to the daily trekking routes and meals. The organization ensured that we could focus entirely on enjoying the trail and the stunning alpine scenery.
A special mention to our guide, Grigor, who truly made this journey extraordinary. He ensured everyone felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout. His care, patience, and attention made all the difference.
If you’re planning a trek to Mont de Blanc, I wholeheartedly recommend this team — and if you’re lucky enough to trek with Grigor, you’re in the best hands!

This trip simply could not have been bettered. The scenery was breathtaking, the other travellers were enormous fun and the days were filled with fun and laughter.
A special shout out to darling Anna, our guide, who is such a lovely girl and who worked so hard for us all. She kept us all safe and provided us with memories to treasure forever. Thank you Anna x

I would definitely recommend this trip! Having never canoed or wild camped before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The experience ranged from relaxing to challenging and everything in between. The canoeing was great fun, the food was hearty and delicious and the wild camping not as daunting as I had expected. A highlight was the great locations where we pitched our tents. The scenery and views were fantastic. We had a lovely group of people guided by the brilliant Sam, and at the end there was a real sense of achievement at having crossed the Great Glen. After 100km of canoeing, I didn’t want the trip to end. If you are in two minds as to whether to book this trip, just go for it.

Absolutely brilliant! Sam our guide was fantastic and worked really hard to make the trip the best experience ever. The other people on the trip were all lovely and we had such a good laugh. Honestly at the end I didn't want to leave.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
This canoeing holiday across Scotland far exceeded my expectations. We were blessed with freakishly beautiful weather, which made every moment on the water and each wild camping site feel like something out of a dream. The landscapes were stunning, and waking up in such remote, peaceful places was nothing short of magical.
Sam, our guide, was phenomenal. While we pitched our tents, he somehow conjured up incredible food each evening. They were hearty, delicious, comforting meals that tasted even better after a full day of paddling. He struck the perfect balance between offering expert tuition (his tips on ruddering were spot on), giving moral support, and keeping spirits high. His encouragement and expertise made a real difference when Loch Ness was being a tad unforgiving.
I feel really blessed by the wonderful group of humans I got to share this adventure with; everyone brought something special to the experience. Saying goodbye at the end was genuinely emotional.
The trip was physically demanding - especially the porterage, which I may have underestimated! But, the sense of teamwork and camaraderie carried us through. It was exhilarating, character-building, and exactly the tonic I needed.
And that first ice-cold soda and slice of pizza at the end? Utterly well-earned and never tasted so good.
If you’re even half-considering a trip like this: go! You won’t regret it. Just remember to pack a midge net!

Incredible trip. Tough compared to previous hikes but well worth it. Scenery was breathtaking with each day offering something new. The refuges were faultless, comfy and not as busy as some others I've stayed at. The guide Claudio was amazing. Very knowledgeable about each area as well as the flora and fauna with in, will definitely be using as a guide for future trips.

Fantastic experience! If you dont have time/energy for the whole TMB this is a good option. Everything was perfect for us, even on the day when we had to hike though the rain. Our guide Christel is a an example of a true professional, we were lucky to have her. Always positive, supportive and humorous. 1000m of elevation is not a walk in the park (apparently), so be ready physically. Read all the info about the trip carefully to enjoy this hike - we used all the items mentioned in the kit list. Our group was fantastic - miss you guys!

TLDR; Great trip, great guides, great views - but do not underestimate the level of fitness required.
Lahouceine (organiser) and Hassan (guide) were great. Lahouceine ensured we were picked up from the airport despite our flight being late and also organised a last minute addition to our trip to visit ourika valley, both very much appreciated thank you!
Hassan our guide, was great keeping a solid, but relaxed pace. I had some problems on the mountain descent, and he patiently made sure I made it down safely.
To that end, please do NOT underestimate the level of fitness required for this.
I am relatively fit young man but would consider myself a novice hiker. While not a technical climb, I found this extremely challenging from a fitness perspective. If you are like me and only ever done some modest hikes (i.e. not multi-day hikes), you absolutely must train for this. You'll enjoy it so much more if you do.
Accommodation and food was good, refuge is indeed basic. Bring toilet roll, wet wipes, eye mask and ear plugs - will feel slightly more comfortable that way.
Overall great experience, would recommend. 👍

Well organised, great guide in Jan, very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable.
Penzión Lomnicky hotel was fantastic, a great way to unwind after the day.
3 good days hiking, the gorges were my highlight.
Disappointed not to have done the cable car and summit but the weather and time were against us, could maybe have done it on the first day.
All in all, a very good trip and somewhere I will revisit.
Travelled on: Hike the High Tatras & Slovak Paradise
Day 1 - Started with a ‘gentle’ climb from Courmayeur through the Val Ferret Valley climbing to 2,025m of altitude to our base for the night, managing a rather quick 2 min shower and then enjoying a welcome 4 course meal at Rifugio Bonatti.
Day 2 - An early start trekking from Rifugio Bonatti along the Grand Ferret Pass to our highest climb of 2,536m. Our descent took us down to La Fouly over glaciers and waterfalls where we overnighted at Relais D'Arpette.
Day 3 - Another early start to trek from Champex-Lac up a challenging hike to Bovine, where we had the most incredible rosti washed down with a biere panache. We made our descent through Col de la Forclaz, which has been an important part of the Tour De France cycle race before overnighting in the pretty village of Trient
Day 4 - A rather wet trek back into eFrance through Col De Balme, stopping for lunch at Les Ecuries de Charamillon (fantastic quiche and mulled wine) The weather was still horrendous so we caught a cable car for the final 5 minute descent into Le Tour.

An unforgettable solo adventure — and now I’m still laughing!
I went on the Matterhorn Highlights trip solo and came away with not only stunning memories but an incredible group of people who had me laughing for four days straight — and honestly, I’m still laughing!
Everything was so well-organised from start to finish. The accommodation and meals were of a really high standard, and the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking. Every turn offered something more beautiful than the last.
Our guide, Charles, was a standout. He went above and beyond every single day to make sure everyone was okay, comfortable, and connected. He bookended each day with a group circle where we could reflect and share experiences, which added such a meaningful layer to the trip. He even led daily yoga sessions for those who wanted to join, and consistently educated us on our surroundings in a way that felt thoughtful and accessible. Dare I say, he helped us become more mindful, conscious humans along the way!
I would totally recommend this trip — and if you’re lucky enough to have Charles as your guide, you’re in for something truly special

I highly recommend Good2Go. The kit list and pre-trip info was spot on, so well prepared. Canoeing and wild camping all well resourced and food excellent.
It’s been a privilege to be part of this group. Thank you all so much!

This was the first multi-day hiking trip I have done. The whole thing was very well organised, including the info provided before the trip including what to bring. The guide, Roberto, also sensibly contacted us beforehand to judge our fitness levels as there was quite a bit of snow to negotiate on the hike. The hike, as expected, was challenging but quite manageable for my son (19) and I (61) as we are keen walkers. The landscape was absolutely sensational and we were blessed with wonderful weather. Roberto was a star - chatty at times, but also knew when to be quiet and allow us to soak in the place we were in. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the mountains. The chalets were fairly basic as you would expect, but well organised and clean; the food was simple but tasty and in sufficient quantities to fuel our hikes. An amazing trip that I will never forget!

Just getting back from this adventure with my 16yr old son. Booked through sky hook but our trip and guide, Grecjan, was with Alps adventures. From the moment we all meet, everything was well informed and explained. My sons dietary allergies were catered for. The food and hostels were needed for a well earned rest at the end of each day and were just what was detailed. The hike itself was tough. But an achievement when you reach the end as a group with new friends.

Fabulous trip that has given me memories that will last for a lifetime. Unbelievable views and company and a real sense of achievement.

Thank you Skyhook and Alpine Adventures but most of all thank you Gracjan.

From airport pickup to drop off after the trip, Nordic paddling where brilliant.I'd only kayaked twice before, a couple of hours each time, so kayaking on Norwigan fjords was something I was really looking forward to. From our first day staying in a cabin to 2 days wild camping our guide Sini was brilliant. You could tell she was very experienced at kayaking & knowledgeable about the area . Everything was planned out perfectly & was always in contact with Nordic paddling about the weather conditions. The wild camping I hadn't done for over 20 years so was something different from my usual holidays but it was something I'm glad I've done again. Beautiful area & so peaceful. Sini was always up first so breakfast was ready for us & we all helped prepare evening meals. The kayaking on the fjords & the hike up to pulpit rock was spectacular .After this trip I want more adventures holidays, preferably kayaking again because I loved it. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone.

Just returned from the 4 day Kayak and Hiking trip to Lysefjord - Norway. It was everything I envisaged it to be. We saw Seals, Jellyfish numerous birdlife and tried new things such as reindeer wraps. The kayaking was awesome and very safe. Pulpit rock was amazing. The wild blueberries were delicious too.
I would like to give a big shout out to our excellent guide Sinni who was very knowledgeable on the area and its flora an fauna, kayaking tips and tricks. She worked tirelessly to accommodate us and ensure our adventure was as good as can be. 5 Stars!

It was a very well organised and a lovely trip!!!! The stay, the staff and food at Penzion Lomnicky was very good. The staff (Anna and Gabriela)were were very helpful and kind. The rooms were very large and clean and it was in a beautiful place by the river.
Our guide Peter was a star!!! He was very kind and so helpful and had a lot patience especially waiting on me and leading the way when descending in difficult parts of the hike. He took us to the river on the first day and we all loved it thoroughly enjoyed it. Peter was very knowledgeable and knew the names of all peaks in entire range of Tatras by heart and was very passionate about hiking. A true Slovak at heart and introduced us to a lot of local dishes and drinks which we all really enjoyed.
The second day in Sucha bela was the best.
Thanks to Martin and Peter for making this trip a very memorable one

An Unforgettable Matterhorn Experience
From start to finish, the Matterhorn highlights hike was nothing short of incredible. As people relatively new to this type of hiking, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect-but every aspect of the trip exceeded our expectations in the best possible ways.
Firstly, our guide Tracey was truly exceptional. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her energy kept the entire group motivated throughout the journey. She struck the perfect balance between encouragement and challenge, making sure each person felt supported no matter their fitness or experience level. What stood out most was how intuitively she paced the group. We never felt rushed, nor did things drag- she knew just when to push forward and when to pause and soak in the views. Her ability to bring people together created a warm and cohesive group atmosphere right away.
The views along the trail were absolutely spectacular. Even as beginners, we found the hike to be entirely manageable. There were some challenging moments, but they left you feeling accomplished, not overwhelmed. The route was clearly planned to balance effort with reward, and there was never a point where we felt out of our depth.
One great surprise was the food. We didn’t expect too much from the meals, but they far surpassed our expectations.
If you’re considering this trip, we’d highly recommend doing it.

My friend and I had an amazing 3 days thanks to the Malduk Adventure Team! The tours were incredible, the scenery stunning and the team made them all an unforgettable experience! The team were so helpful… nothing was too big an ask and they were on hand if you needed information and advice on any aspect of our stay in Omiš. I would highly recommend them if you want adventures that will stay with you forever! Our favorite was definitely the canyoning… 5 hours of adrenaline fueled fun with a traditional Croatian supper to end the day, we especially enjoyed the home made sherry 🥴😁! Thank you to Dado, Eva and the team for making us feel so welcome, for keeping us safe and giving us an experience that we will never forget! We will be back 😊!

Myself and three friends booked a trip to climb Mount Toubkal through Skyhook, and I couldn’t recommend the experience enough. Everything about the trip was seamless from start to finish.
We were picked up early from the airport with no issues and driven straight to Imlil. The accommodation there was excellent — the food was delicious, with massive portion sizes, thanks to Hamad who cooked for us during our stay.
Our guide, Mohamed, was outstanding. He adjusted his pace to suit our group and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout. On the first day, we hiked from Imlil to the refuge. The second day began with a 2:30am start, allowing us to reach the summit in time for sunrise.
During the trek, we were incredibly well looked after by our cook, Ahmed, who made sure we were well fed and fuelled with hearty meals at every stop. On the way back, we took an alternative route, summiting another peak and visiting a nearby plane wreck before descending towards Imlil. We even stopped for a swim along the way.
All in all, an unforgettable trip — especially with Mohamed as our guide, and with Ahmed and Hamad keeping us so well fed. Highly recommended.

I’m just back from my “Canoe Across Scotland trip” and reflecting on the experience.
The organisation of the trip, including our guide Adam and Steve who supported him, along with the equipment, food and logistics was amazing. Adam and Steve guided us well both on and off the water and made sure we were well fed and most importantly, as safe as possible.
The others canoeists in the group were just lovely and we all supported each other and worked together to make the trip possible.
Never having canoeing or wild camped before this trip definitely pushed me well outside my comfort zone and without the guides and my fellow campers I might have snuck off halfway through! However, I am so glad I finished the trip and feel incredibly proud of us all and in particular canoeing”The Ness” in just one day.

This was a truly memorable experience which pushed us just far enough outside our comfort zone. Our guide Robson was incredibly experienced and quickly built up a rapport with our group through his straight-talking approach and endless supply of jokes (of varying quality!) The weather was very changeable but Robson expertly adapted our itinerary to suit and we all learnt to trust his judgement completely. My friend Jean has coeliac disease and her dietary needs were very well catered for. The food and snacks were plentiful and we were never hungry. The wild camping sites were beautiful and all the camping equipment provided was of a high standard and quick to put together.
It is amazing how quickly you get to know a group of people in a situation like this and we had a lot of fun together, mainly through the mediums of laughter and song!
Be aware that there is a lot of portage - moving canoes and all equipment. Upper body strength is needed for this as much as the canoeing.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with an adventurous spirit (or bring a friend who has one!) You won't regret it.

The mountain huts and all accommodation were more than adequate for our needs. Ben recommended and took us to some amazing places to eat on our tour in stunningly beautiful locations.
The crystal-clear streams and water stops were perfect to top up our water bottles.

Wonderful trip and experience, despite rain on the first day of kayaking. Our guide Sandra was excellent keeping everyone's spirits up and preparing our meals as well as guiding both the kayaking and hike. It really was wild camping! The company did really well when a rockfall in the road tunnel delayed departure plans, one of the group got a motorboat lift towards the airport so she could meet her flight plans, probably adding to the adventure.

Great trip, great guides and a great group.
This was an awesome introduction to hiking and scrambling. Hike to the hut is nice and easy. The hut is well equipped and full of friendly people, all with the same goal.
The food in the hut is pretty good for a mountain hut and there’s a well stocked beer fridge!
The climb to the summit is relatively straightforward. No real technical difficulties. A few bits of scrambling but this really is a safe introduction to scrambling to a peak.
The guide even let us detour to the second highest mountain in Greece on the way back.
You get back to the hut relatively early on the second day and can relax, socialise and chat with your fellow hikers and climbers.
If you are desperate to get down early you could leave and be back in Pironia early evening but the hut is fairly comfortable and the beds not too close like some I have stayed in.
The guides were really good. Listened to the team and were part of the group.
Done a few peaks now, both solo and guided. Would suggest this is a great introduction to the mountains.
Most of all, with the guided trips, it’s the people that make it. Both the guides and the group were a great bunch who made the most of this experience together!
Recommend doing this if you can fit it in.

Probably my favourite holiday/trip ever -
Will definitely be booking another trip in future!
I’m generally not one to write reviews, but had such a good experience last week, feel that I can’t not leave one.
My wife and I did the TMB highlights 4 day trip. We are reasonably fit - do plenty of running/walking etc in the uk. But the pace was kept steady and the group together. We had never done a group holiday. We were a bit unsure how it would be, sharing dorms in mountain huts with strangers, but in fact it really added to the trip and we met some really great people to walk with. Our guides (Cristina & Mihail) were fantastic. Fun, Enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the area and supportive of people in the group when required. The area is simply stunning, words just can’t do it justice. You MUST go and see it for yourself. A cold beer with views after a long day walking, at a remote mountain hut at the top of a mountain never tasted so good (yes the huts even have beer!)
We stayed a night either side at the start/finish to make it a week. I also recommend taking the cable car up Aguile du midi, it’s a short walk from the lodge and is well worth it.

Tuure our guide is amazing. He’s very knowledgeable, helpful and makes my trip memorable. Kayak along the coastline everywhere you turns the view of the fjords is stunning. When you hike up Pulpit Rock don’t forget the bugs spray and head net like I did otherwise you’ll get bitten. The view from my tent is the most beautiful and magical thing for me to wake up to everyday while I was there.

What an unforgettable experience!!!
Our guide, Min, was absolutely amazing - truly the best I could have asked for on my first multi-day hike. From start to finish, she was exceptionally supportive, always ensuring everyone was safe, comfortable, and enjoying each step - whether it was an ascent or descent.
I basically trusted her with my life 😝, especially since I’d never tackled some of the trickier terrain before. Her little nuggets of knowledge, quick jokes, and constant encouragement made even the toughest uphill stretches more enjoyable.
I came away from the trip feeling so pumped that I’m already searching for my next hiking adventure this year!

OMG!!!!
This was an ABSOLUTELY winning trip, so far, in my 51 year lifetime 💥🤘🏼
Don’t miss it👊🏼
Epic views, new experiences, fantastic crowd of beautiful humans, delicious food…
Paul, the guide is so knowledgeable about mountain flora & fauna; the history of the areas…
Took us through some “secret” routes, which was very appreciated from all of us.
Also, we got the opportunity to meet Tom, “The Boss”, what a Legend🤗
Book it, you won’t regret it 😉👍🏼

The tour was absolutely incredible—truly beyond words. The duration was just right to fully appreciate the beauty of Mont Blanc and the surrounding areas. The hiking trails were wonderfully diverse, offering something new each day. Every detail was handled with precision and met all expectations.
Paul was an outstanding guide—not just leading the way, but genuinely feeling like a friend throughout the journey. He shared insightful explanations and even surprised us with a few unexpected adventures. This is a tour not to be missed!

So much fun climbing this beautiful, diverse mountain. Green forest lower down and dramatic rocky scenery above. The scramble was also a lot of fun and not at all difficult. The guides were fun and very experienced too and made everyone feel safe and happy. Happily recommend to anyone who likes hikes that push your bounds a little bit.
Travelled on: Mount Olympus Hike (2,919m)
Overall, the experience with Skyhook was outstanding — the challenge itself was incredible, the organisation leading up to the event was smooth, and the drivers of the bus were friendly and respectful.
However, we were extremely let down by the guide assigned to our group. Unfortunately, Gary did not meet the level of competence or fitness we expected for such a demanding challenge. His pace was significantly below what was needed to complete the event within the 24-hour goal, and he appeared to struggle physically throughout. He openly admitted out of 20 attempts that he had only completed the challenge successfully a pitiful 3 times!
More concerning was his decision-making during critical moments. He left one member of our group alone at the summit of Scafell Pike in appalling weather conditions — an action that, frankly, could have resulted in serious consequences. Additionally, on the descent, he took a wrong turn at a very straightforward junction despite suggestions from the group that we should have taken the left path along the river. His insistence led us to a hotel in the middle of nowhere, unnecessarily adding at least 30 minutes to our journey.
While we understand that weather and fatigue can complicate things in the mountains, I expected a guide who was better equipped — physically and navigationally — to lead me safely and efficiently. This aspect significantly impacted my experience and is something I urge Skyhook to address for future groups.

A truly magical and unforgettable experience. There were highs and lows, an emotional roller coaster. The scenery was breathtaking, the guides were superb (Robson and Billie) and the group was just fabulous.

Went on this trip in June 2025. Best trip I've ever been on.
An amazing experience. Canoeing, wild camping, beautiful scenery and the company of lovely people was great and our trip was superbly guided by B and R.
Great memories and I highly recommend this trip, it's a memorable, great experience. I'm going to do it again. Have fun

What an amazing adventure probably the best thing I’ve ever done. Robson and Billy were fabulous guides felt very safe and trusted their decisions along the journey with ever changing conditions. A fantastic group of people who definitely made the trip special. The scenery along the way was at times breathtaking, the canals so peaceful and the Lochs spirited but no sign of nessy. It’s amazing how little you need so trust the advice given about the kit. Would highly recommend if you want an active holiday.
Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
The trip itself is spectacular...great views, beautiful camping spots and even though it can be challenging at times, it´s absolutely worth battling wind, blisters and midges :) The tour is very well organized and you´ll be provided with equipment, food and -if required- transportation to Inverness (drop-off only train station) afterwards.
The reason I didn´t give it a higher rating is due to the poor communication and lack of leadership of our guides. They both were very professional when it came to canoeing and they did get us from A to B safely, providing food and directions, but I would have appreciated if there would have been a clear and coherent communication to the whole group and more structure (what happens when; scheduled breaks for everybody; plan for the day; what to do if...). Instructions and information were mostly given out haphazardly to the people who happened to be standing close and from there on it was a hear-say for everybody else. Furthermore, it often seemed a bit stressfull and breaks sometimes were a bit scarce.
Nevertheless, I am very glad I did the tour and proud to have paddled 100km across Scotland!

I’ve just returned from the trip and it was an amazing experience. The kayaking, wild camping and hiking were all excellent and our trip was brilliantly guided by Tuure who created a relaxed and friendly environment throughout for everyone
Great memories and friendships developed and I would highly recommend this trip as a way to experience the Norwegian Fjords

What a fabulous week walking in such a beautiful, unspoiled, wild mountainous national park. The trek was challenging but not overly so as to not be enjoyable. If fact I would say it was definitely one of the best weeks walking I have ever done. Stunning scenery, great company, very tasty, healthy food in the huts. Nice varied packed lunches and ok sleeping accommodation. The showers were mostly warm and the beer not too expensive considering the remote locations! 🤣 I would highly recommend the experience. Thanks Ian and Risko guides for looking after us so well. Not a single issue to report. 😀👍🗻🥾

Incredible Trek, Incredible people and an Amazing guide!
This hut to hut trek exceeded all my expectations from start to finish. The views throughout are stunning and diverse. The huts were in great locations, though sleeping in large dorms can always be a bit uncomfortable (bring ear plugs). The food was great and more than enough throughout the day.
Ian, our guide, really made this trip for me. His knowledge of the area, banter and ability to adapt to the groups needs/skills was fantastic. A steady trekking pace for the 5 days made sure we had enough strength to add in a couple of cheeky summits along the route.
Thanks Ian and skyhook!
Travelled on: Hut to Hut Hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains
This Hike is an extremely rewarding 5 days of quite tough hiking in places. It is not a hike for somebody just looking for a ready made path; there is plenty of rocks to navigate and boulders to climb over. However the reward in scenery and tranquility is so worth it.
If you have never been in a hut before do a bit of research as you will be sleeping in big dorms with many mattresses side by side and people above! People will snore etc, but you soon get used to it and it’s all part of the experience.
The food in these huts was really good with great lunchtime sandwich packs; very tasty!
The other beauty of this hike is the total peace on one day we saw 7 other people all day and another day just 9.
I would highly recommend Ian our guide, he kept a really steady pace, continually checking on the team and supporting in any areas that caused any questions at all; on bits of snow, crossing streams , climbing over boulders etc.
The only thing I would stress is you do need a good pair of boots Due to the terrain.
All in all a really great experience, thank you Ian!

What a fantastic long weekend! I booked a single place and met a wonderful group of people.
Our guide, Sandra, was exceptional. She made sure that everyone was well fed and happy with the kayaking and hiking pace; offering great insights and history of the area - thank you so much Sandra.
I have been on many guided trips over the years and must say this has to be one of the most memorable of them all.
The fjord itself was so beautiful...it looked like a painting…my photos don't do it justice.
Getting picked up at Stavanger and dropped off at the stunning hut location made the whole journey so easy (same for the return day).
The hut wasn't some tiny garden shed, it was a large wooden cabin in a very pretty bay, with comfy a bed and all mod-cons - I slept well every night.
If you're considering this trip, don't hesitate, I promise that you won't regret it :)

I had a great time doing the National 3 Peaks Challenge. Fantastic experience, a real challenge and sense of achievement afterwards, it's given me the drive to do some more challenges in the same vein. Everything ran very smoothly, from the pick-ups and pre-challenge hotel stay to the challenge itself. Ours was a group of seven total strangers but the lot of us gelled and became a solid team very quickly. Richard was a brilliant and experienced guide, kept us on track and on pace while sharing his abundance of outdoor knowledge, and credit to our drivers Darren and Paul who kept us rolling between peaks. Highly recommended.

Just back from my 5th Skyhook trip. I have to say this trip was exceptional. Our guide Rebecca was outstanding and went way above and beyond what should be expected of a guide. She made our trip so enjoyable. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The location, accommodation, food, transfers, equipment, itinerary were all exceptional. I could not recommend this trip highly enough to anyone who may be considering it.

We had a lovely trip with our excellent guide Jan. The hikes were challenging but rewarding, with a good amount of variety. We were 8 guests for 1 guide, and each party had their own hotel room. The hotel was extremely accommodating and each dinner and breakfast was excellent. Jan was very attentive to the groups needs and answered any questions.

This was such an amazing trip. The local guides Dado, Eva, Anten, Toni and Mitch were all excellent giving us not only excellent guidance at all times but great history and interesting facts about the local area. The Kayaking was a great introduction to the beautiful town of Omiš, the kanyoning challenging but so beautiful that you forget about the challenge and the rafting was a wonderful fun way to finish an epic adventure. Apart from the above you still get lots of time to explore Omiš, or just relax on the beach. It was truly an amazing adventure. I’m still smiling. The team in Omiš go above and beyond to look after you 10/10

Long story short: I Do NOT recommend it.
The longer version:
We were told in the description (and also in the emails) that we would be going at a pace that would allow us to complete the 24-hour challenge — and we trained for that too.
Well, we failed pretty much the whole thing at the beginning, at Ben Nevis. We were nowhere near the advertised pace.
Yes, we know there are always slower people in the groups, BUT we were held back several times. The whole thing was extra slow, very-very far from the original itinerary.
Later, some people turned back at Scafell Pike, so we had a chance to achieve our goal.
The most outrageous thing happened at Snowdon: the guide adjusted the pace to the people who had already dropped out of the challenge (because they didn't achieve the second summit), constantly sending them forward, while constantly holding back those still was in the challenge. We were told constantly, 'we are a team, we do this together'.
Well, as far as I can see - the goal is also in the name of the announced program: to complete the 3 summits in 24 hours. That is why we paid hundreds of £.
Not doing it for 26-27-28 hours, not for doing funny teambuilding event with those who dropped out earlier due to cardio problems. Ridiculous.
Quoted from your page: 'The guide will aim to set a pace which the group can realistically attempt to complete the challenge within 24 hours. This will mean a relatively fast walk with minimal breaks of no more than a few minutes to drink, have a quick snack or catch your breath. If you are well off the pace or struggling, the guide may need to make a call as to whether you can continue the challenge.'
It would be good to decide which policy you'll follow on future trips: 'If you can't keep up, please turn back', or 'Let's walk hand in hand, enjoying ourselves for 97 minutes longer than our itinerary recommends'.
Communication: there is still a lot of room for improvement.
We received a lot of automated emails before and after the tour, but we barely learned anything during the tour.
Receiving a 4 week training plan 2 days before the start, that's a new level of something.
The pick-up in Glasgow was adventurous. Two teams started, but there was no communication at all about it. Couple minutes before the pick-up, I was found myself in two different WA chats... different pick-up times+different places. Not bad, but not good either.
Real-life communication during the tour was pretty much zero: During the challenge, we didn't get any specific answers from the guide (e.g. the schedule of the breaks for the next 5-6 hour bus rides, or which way we climb on Scafell Pike)... the whole thing is frivolous.
It’s a bit disappointing to get multiple generic emails, but not a single follow-up from the guide — even a brief note from Skyhook addressed to our group would have meant a lot.
Final thoughts. Quoting your guide: 'It's not the end of the world if we don't make it.'
Well, maybe not — if you're doing this 7 or 8 times a season.
But for us, this attitude is deeply disappointing. Several of us traveled from abroad to take part. This wasn’t just a two-hour train ride and a casual drop-off at the pub of the station.
We can only hope he enjoyed his beer, since we didn’t get what we came for.
Reply by Mountaineerin Ltd:
Hi Csaba,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, and for joining us on the National 3 Peaks Challenge.
We’re really sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations, especially after all the training and preparation you put in. We completely understand how frustrating it must have been to feel held back and to miss the 24-hour goal — particularly when you felt capable of achieving it.
As with all Skyhook adventures, this is an open-group trip, and as you noted, pacing can be complex. While guides aim to keep the group moving at a pace that allows for a 24-hour finish, their first priority must be group safety. There are points on the mountains where it’s no longer safe for individuals to go ahead or descend alone, meaning the guide must manage the group as a whole. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in faster participants being affected by the overall group pace — something we know can be disappointing.
For this reason, we try to make it as clear as possible on the trip page that while completing the challenge in under 24 hours is the goal, it can’t be guaranteed. A number of factors — including group dynamics, fitness levels, traffic, and weather — can all have an impact.
Your feedback on communication, pre-trip clarity, and the pacing experience is very much appreciated, and we’re already in discussion with the operator about ways to improve this moving forward.
Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback. We’re really sorry the trip didn’t meet your expectations, but your comments will help us improve the experience for future participants.

Some of my best life memories were made on this trip.

Hats off to Chris our tour guide. What a pleasure it was to meet him. I felt like I was left to learn new experiences but as soon as something went a little strange. Chris was there to support. His skills of differentiating and catering for different skill levels and food needs/requirements was top level. Good to go adventures have a great set up and in the wind and rain we were still smiling and getting on with it. The equipment was brilliant and most brand new such as tents etc. I just can’t explain how much fun I had and how much I learnt. Yes! I’m definitely doing it again 😀😀😀👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve just come back after spending the last 5 days exploring Scotland with a great bunch of people and I’m missing it already and looking at what adventure to go on next! The trip started near Fort William where we were met by our guides Bill and Reg. After sorting kit and being briefed, we were soon on our way canoeing 100km over 5 days to Inverness. Bill and Reg are absolute dime’s and made everything run so smoothly - along with the rest of the group it was a pleasure to spend the last week with them! The weather was the typical Scottish weather but added to the whole experience! The food and snacks were plentiful and spot on .. with Reg cooking up some delicious one pot delights each night. Great experience and not many days you can say you’ve canoed and camped on the shores of Loch Ness. Thank you for such a lovely trip.

Trip was amazing despite some typical Scottish weather and insects, we had a great guide Sam who was very efficient and taught us how to get the most out of the trip. Found a great bunch of people which really helped to make the trip. Not been Kayaking before but would definitely recommend this trip, some reasonably tough moments carrying the gear across the locks, setting up a wet tent in a forest and cold temps at night, but the scenery, views and the teamwork far outweighed those moments. Felt a big achievement reaching the end in Inverness for sure.I am already interested in another trip with Skyhook next year

Our family of 5 ( ages 21 thru 50) recently completed the 5-day Salkantay trek with Inkayni Tours, and it was an unforgettable adventure! Our guide, Paul Cano, was exceptional - knowledgeable, passionate, and proud of his Peruvian heritage. He kept us safe and entertained throughout the trek, even when things got tough (like when I got sick for 2 days and my wife twisted her ankle!).
The food was incredible, thanks to Chef Cristobal and his assistant Clever. The porters and horses did an amazing job carrying our belongings, and the scenery was breathtaking.
If I have one suggestion, it's to break up Day 2 (Salkantay) into two sections. It's a long and challenging day, and a bit more pacing would make it more enjoyable.
We opted for horseback riding on two occasions (to Humantay Lagoon and Salkantay Mountain), which was worth every extra penny (bring CASH - u will need it). It allowed us to enjoy the scenery without excessive strain.
Overall, Inkayni Tours provided an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Paul, Cristobal, Clever and the entire team. Can't wait to come back to Peru!"

Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
I have to say that this is a fantastic trip, though it is not to be underestimated. Days 2 and 3 of this trip are big mountain days with lots of height gain and loss, particularly on summit day, and in my opinion a high level of fitness is needed. The first night in the guesthouse in Imlil was lovely. The beds were firm but clean and comfortable, and the hosts very friendly, with excellent food. We met our two guides in the evening, and they led us off to the high refuge after breakfast on day 2, a six hour hiking day, constantly gaining altitude the whole way, with some tough sections. The guides throughout were excellent, though one had a slightly faster pace than the other when at the front, which put us under a bit of pressure from time to time. I apologise I dont have their names to hand. The high refuge was as you would expect from a mountain refuge in the Alps, clean but basic sleeping arrangements, decent food, and amazing views. It was very busy, but we were well looked after by the guides. Summit day began with breakfast at 3pm, and we left for the summit about 3.40am, arriving around 7am on the summit, our whole group made it. We stayed around 30 mins on the summit, then what followed was a quite tricky descent, it is very slippy with scree, I advise walking poles as a must. We descended right back to Imlil, which meant a very very big day, and everyone was exhausted by the time we got down, with many people having slipped on the way. This wasn't my first 4000m mountain, but it was for many of the group, and served as a good intro to altitude.

Great trip! Physically very demanding, but a great challenge. Would highly recommend to any adventurous people who enjoy being pushed out of their comfort zone. Capsizing is a likelihood, so you need to be comfortable getting wet and able to jump into action when you do, to rescue your canoe. TIP: Ensure all your dry bags and barrels are tightly secured to avoid them floating down river if you do capsize.
Travelled on: Canoe the Scottish Highlands (River Spey)
Great few days going down the Spey. Robson was a brilliant guide and kept us all safe and well fed. River levels were low after a 5 week dry spell but added a different element to the challenge. Washing machine was definitely my favourite bit. Capsized a couple of times which couldn't be helped, but Robson and the rest of the group on hand to get us back in the boat in no time at all. On last night, we found a great island to camp and even had the bonus of a fire that night as we ate and talked the night away. I'd highly recommend but it does involve some fitness for the steering.

Everything was perfectly organised, from beginning to end.
I would not classify it as beginner/improver level though, it was definitely doable, but tough , you should be reasonably fit.
The guides were great, food was fresh and plentiful.
Accommodation in Emlil was super all around.
The Refuge was ok but dorms were for 24 people , so don't expect to sleep much.
Showers didn't do much.
Take wet wipes , ear plugs and an eye mask.
All in all a fabulous experience, we were shattered afterwards but it was absolutely worth it!!!

An incredible trip! I travelled with my daughter. Have to say that summit day was tough as winds were high & my daughter was feeling unwell. However, our guides Abdul & Yusef were amazing - so kind, caring, helpful & encouraging. We wouldn't have made it to the top & down without them. In fact the whole team were brilliant - Lahouceine who organised the trip, the hosts at Riad Bab Imlil, the muleteers, cooks & refuge staff. We were so well looked after at every stage. The food was very healthy & they even catered for my daughter & I as we are gluten intolerant. If you are looking to do this trip do not hesitate to book with Skyhook & Atlas Vertical. Definitely an adventure!

Outstanding Experience with Skyhook – 3 Peaks in 24 Hours!
Taking on the 3 Peaks Challenge with Skyhook was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From start to finish, the team was professional, organized, and incredibly supportive. The guides were knowledgeable, encouraging, and knew exactly how to keep us motivated and on track through some tough climbs and tight timeframes.
Each peak – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon – presented its own unique challenge, but Skyhook's planning and logistics were spot-on. The transportation was smooth and comfortable, rest breaks were well-timed, and safety was clearly their top priority throughout.
What really stood out was the team atmosphere they created. It didn’t feel like just a hike – it felt like an adventure shared with like-minded people, backed by a company that truly knows what they’re doing. Whether you're an experienced hiker or taking on something like this for the first time, Skyhook delivers an incredible experience.
Highly recommend to anyone looking to push their limits with the confidence of expert support!
