Ben the leader from Alps Adventures were great and the hiking .. while quite demanding at times .. was really varied with interesting terrain and great views. The only down side was that the first two huts were a bit chaotic .. eg a late breakfast and cold showers. I’m coeliac (GF) and while the evening meals were spot on I really needed the bread and snacks I took, as two of the huts didn’t really cater well at breakfast and for packed lunches.

Although I could not finish the trip,because of physical discomfort,the days I have spent within the team were splendid.
Ben and his wife Sandy were always checking if everybody was OK and offered their assistance/help in case needed.
Especially in my case Ben was so kind even to take my backpack in order for me to continue the hike to next hut.
So all in all ,very well organized.
Thanks all for this.

Amazing kayaking trip. We saw beautiful fjord and animals like seals and porpoises along the way. The trip was very well organized and suitable for beginner without kayaking experience.
Travelled on: Hike, Kayak and Wild Camp the Norwegian Fjords
This trip was incredible, and one I’ll remember for life!
We were blessed with amazing weather, so we had beautifully still and serene fjords and lovely temperatures to be out in. We saw seals and porpoise within the first hour of being out on the water. The hike was beautiful and organised with good timing, as it was very crowded by the time we were on our way down.
Rasmus was a fantastic guide, he organised the group well yet had a very chilled and calm energy. He cooked awesome campsite meals as well :)
I was lucky to have a group of kind and likeminded people who I hope to see again in the future!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip or Nordic Paddling/Skyhook :)

Completed the Pyrenees hut-to-hut hike in August with Ian as our guide (Risko Guides). The terrain can be challenging in parts, but it makes the hike extremely rewarding. Beautiful scenery and a great opportunity to switch off in nature. Thanks to Ian for his local knowledge and guidance on the hike. Met a lovely group of people to spend the week with and had great chats along the way. Highly recommend!

Hereby my great appreciation re. the recent 'Skyhook' booked 5 days /6 nights trek undertaken with 6 fellow hikers in the Spanish Pyrénées mountains, namely consisting in a large chunk of the so called 'Carros de Foc' hut to hut route in the Aïguestortes National Park of Catalunya, under the very able and responsible leadership of Ian, our headman from local 'Riskø Guides'.
Ian proved to be a great professional, and human, at all times, accompanying us from dusk to dawn across the wonderful landscapes and often challenging pathways, providing technical guidance, contextual knowledge, high group spirit and good humor, during the long day hikes, steep ascents to passes across stones and boulders, no less testing descents, as well as more gentle walks along an extraordinary succession of Estanys (lakes) and streams. Ian was always watchful and responsive to everyone's needs, and a great team builder.
Really enjoyed the warm atmosphere of huts where our guide helped us getting organized from crowded backpack storages to common meal tables, dorms and other available amenities.
Worth to mention the wonderful companionship developed among previously unrelated fellow hikers from varied walks of life and ages, that was undoubtedly one of the trip's highs, largely compensating the occasional hardships provoked by unstable and changing weather conditions.
Looking forward for other similar challenging, fun and adventurous experiences.

Absolutely incredible. The views from the water were breathtaking, our camps were beautiful woodland spots and we were blessed with almost no rain. We had a fabulous group who pulled together to help each other out, and two brilliant guides. Thanks Sam and Matt for your knowledge, expertise, patience and good-humour!

What an amazing experience to climb the highest mountain in Slovenia!!. I didn't think I was able to do it!!! The guide was brilliant, calm patient, knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend this hike to everyone even for those who have never done a via Ferata before. Thank you Skyhook to give me this lifetime opportunity!!!
Travelled on: Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)
An amazing experience on Mount Triglav! The final 350m technical climb to the summit was fantastic, and our guide Igor Kremser made everything feel safe and well-organised. We started at 980m and hiked to Triglavski hut in Kredarica which took us 5.5hours to reach 2,515m. We rested 1.5hrs and then continued with technical climb to the summit 2,864m which we reached in 1hr 45mins. We descended the next morning and took us 3.5 hours. The food at the Triglavski hut could be better. Be prepared with good stamina — it’s demanding but so worth it!
Travelled on: Summit Mt Triglav (2,863m)
The Kayaking and hike were amazing and I would give both experiences 5 stars.
The only downfall were a few issues. During the booking process we were told throughout to pack 4 to 4 15/20kg dry bags to accommodate our belongings. When we arrived at the cabin we were told that were were only allowed to take 1 dry bag each with our belongings. This was nowhere near enough space to bring the required list of belongings that we were advised to bring, which meant most of us only had the clothes we had on for the duration of the camping.
We were also informed that we had to pack up everything for the campsite in our kayaks ( probably why we told we had to down size our own belongings) this put quite a lot of added weight to the kayak.
I think a loyalty if our group assumed that the campsite would already have been set up for our arrival, it isn't so be prepared to pitch your own tents and go and find wood suitable for the fire which also needs to be lit by you. There wasn't much substantial bits of wood to last the whole weekend so we had to improvise and source wood elsewhere. I do think that the wood for the fire should be one of the things that is provided, as there are many factors that may prevent future campers being able to keep themselves warm.
The food provided at the camp was good, but there just wasn't enough to keep the hunger away. You will be provided the ingredients to make your breakfast and lunch sandwiches which will contain the same ingredients each day. We all chipped in to help prepare and cook the meals and also the washing up, so if you are expecting to have your meals served to you whilst you relax after the kayaking or hiking then think again.
The hike up.to Pulpit Rock is absolutely stunning and was the highlight of our trip.
We had a fantastic group of people in our camp which helped massively with high spirits.
If I were to suggest a few changes for the company it would be to maybe have the camp set up, more food and basic rations and that the guides maybe take on more of a role at providing a service, as we dis think towards the end that we paid for a self service trip, which left alot of us baffled.
When leaving the camp there is no option for a shower before being dropped off at the airport for your flight home, this is something that could be added to the end of the trip seeing the HQ was within walking distance to the camp and an outdoor shower facility could maybe be looked into.
The views and surrounding areas were breath taking and it was 100% and experience that allows you to switch off from the daily stresses of life.
My feedback is not to take away from.the experience because like I said I had an amazing group.of people and we laughed from start to finish and have definatley made friends to stay in contact with. I just wanted to highlight the areas we weren't prepared for so other can.prepare properly.

Hi Mairead,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the kayaking and the hike — and especially that Pulpit Rock was a highlight. At the same time, we’re very sorry to hear about the frustrations you experienced along the way.
I’ve spoken with the guide from your trip, and it seems there were a few miscommunications that caused confusion. In particular, around the dry bags — the intention was that each guest could bring one IKEA-sized bag (which fits several dry bags inside), but this wasn’t clearly explained at the time. That’s absolutely on us to communicate better, and we’ve already spoken to our team about ensuring this is made clear during the pre-trip briefing.
On the food side, we’re sorry that you felt it wasn’t quite enough or that expectations weren't met, we are reviewing the catering plan to make sure nothing was overlooked. These expeditions are designed to be self-supported wilderness experiences, where guests can help with camp life — like preparing meals and gathering firewood — but we also want this to feel enjoyable and not like a chore. In this case, it seems the balance wasn’t quite right, and we’ve shared your feedback with the guide so that they can set clearer expectations and create more of the “team spirit” we usually see on these trips.
Your suggestions are very valuable, and we’ll be reviewing how we can build these into future departures. Regarding your point about showers — unfortunately there are no facilities at the site itself, and the only nearby showers are at the guide’s private accommodations, which understandably cannot be made available to guests. We’ll explore whether there are any alternatives we can recommend for future groups before onward travel.
We’re glad that despite the challenges, you still found the trip memorable and rewarding, and that the group dynamic made it special. Our aim is for every guest to leave feeling they’ve had both an adventure and the right level of support, and your feedback will help us continue to improve.

The trip was absolutely amazing! We had fantastic guides who made everything feel safe, fun, and well-organized. I met some truly awesome people and really enjoyed being part of the group. The weather was great, and the entire experience—from the beautiful scenery to the excellent equipment—was just top-notch.
I always felt safe and well taken care of, with clear instructions and great support throughout. The food was a real highlight too—just delious. I especially loved the warm meals in the evenings after a day out on the water. Everything was so well planned. Big thanks to the whole team for making it such a memorable adventure! Big shoutout to Noa and Graci as very important co-guides😊

I had the best time with the best group of people who I will be delighted to stay in touch with after this experience! :) We had mixed weather conditions and our trip was definitely eventful but I welcomed that as it gave us some variety each day and it didn't affect my enjoyment of the company or the views at all.
The accommodation was good and there was some fantastic food to eat along the way. Our guide, Ben, was keen to teach us about the different landmarks and was very proactive in helping us to celebrate the birthday of one of our team members!
The only negative for me is that it was only 4 days - I would have happily carried on with this new group of friends for much longer!

Fantastic trip with an amazing guide Ondrej.

What an unforgettable experience! The 3-day guided hiking trip was incredibly well-organized and led by the amazing Ondrej — a knowledgeable, passionate, and truly inspiring guide. The trails we explored ranged from picturesque and peaceful to wonderfully challenging, offering something for every level.
I feel so lucky to have shared this journey with such a lovely group of people — professional, warm, and genuinely friendly. Although we had just met, it felt like we’d known each other for ages. The camaraderie, the shared laughs, and the uplifting spirit of the group made the adventure even more special.
This was my first trip like this, but it certainly won’t be my last. A heartfelt thank you to Nicola, Oliver, Elaine, Sofie, Claire, Simon, Spencer — and especially Ondrej — for making it such an incredible experience!

This is a great trip, I have wanted to do the national 3 peaks for 40 years, from when I was old enough to know about mountains.
However it does go against my belief to treat mountains with respect, but our trip had amazing weather views and sunsets and sunrises as advertised. It is definitely a challenge and the guide had to make tough decisions on every mountain, to keep the challenge on target and the group manageable.

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.

Hi Ken,
Thank you for taking the time to provide this detailed feedback. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, as it gives us valuable insight into areas where we can improve. I am very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and I want to apologise for the issues you encountered.
We take all guest feedback seriously, and I have already shared your comments with our team. We've taken note of your points regarding the cabin, the condition of the gear, and the camp setup. This is not the standard we aim for, and we will be reviewing our procedures to ensure our equipment is dry and ready for each trip, and that our campsites are as welcoming as possible, especially in less-than-ideal weather.
Regarding the logistics of the trip, such as carrying your own gear and food, we understand this can be challenging. Our trips are designed to be self-supported expeditions where guests carry their own essentials, which is a core part of the authentic wilderness experience we aim to provide. We will, however, review our trip descriptions to ensure this is communicated more clearly during the booking process so that guests know exactly what to expect.
We also appreciate your feedback on the group's dynamic. It's a fine balance to manage different paces and expectations within a group, and we will use your comments to help our guides better navigate these situations in the future. I'm glad to hear that you liked Rebecka, and I can assure you that we will work with her to further develop her skills in this area.
Thank you again for your honesty. We hope you'll consider joining us on another adventure in the future, giving us the opportunity to provide you with the exceptional experience we are known for.

Excellent service from the Atlas Vertical guiding team in Imlil. We booked a private trek and they arranged all of our transfers to and from Imlil, which all ran very smoothly.
Our guide Hassan was very good and even took over when our son had a nosebleed on the walk up to the refuge. The food prepared by the cook/ mule driver was amazing, and there was always far too much for us to finish.
The hotel staff where we stayed in Imlil were very friendly. One small negative point was the first hotel we stayed in, which was very noisy (not really what you need just before a trek), but the accommodation we stayed in after the hotel made up for this.

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.

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?

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!

This was a fantastic route that offers a great mix of easy and more challenging sections—perfect for first timer looking for a bit of adventure or if you would like to enjoy a beautiful trip. The views around the Matterhorn are absolutely stunning, and the mountain cabins were cozy and welcoming. Our guides, Ben and Sandy, were really knowledgeable about hiking in the Alps and provided just the right balance of support and encouragement throughout the trek. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the beauty of the Alps on foot!

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.

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.

My trip highlights would definitely be the views, the rifugios along the way, when we reached the window and could see Mont Blanc on one side & Gran Paradiso to the other 😍. Shout out to Elisabetta who was an incredible guide & kept us out of the rain where possible.
Thank you so much Skyhook

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.

We had an unforgettable experience with Nordic Paddling! 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.
The group atmosphere was filled with laughter, fun, and relaxation, all while soaking in the breathtaking beauty of nature. A perfect balance of adventure and serenity. Highly recommend this tour—and if you're lucky enough to have Sandra as your guide, you're in for something special!

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. I had never paddled in a canoe before but had experience of endurance sport which definitely helped. I recommend this trip to all who love activities in good company out in nature. 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.
Great tour

Fabulous trip! The scenery was stunning and Elisabetta was a great guide, making sure we all had a great time. The last hut was great with substantial food portions.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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. 👍

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!

This was unbelievably awesome. Geoff and Sam were fantastic guides, the whole group meshed well together and everything was organised. We were trusted in our skills against the wild weather which made it much more fun and adventurous, glad we were treated to a beautiful spot of weather on a gorgeous beach pitstop. The memories will last a lifetime. Cannot recommend this trip enough. Hope we get to plan more canoeing in the future!

Amazing adventure and so much fun. Geoff and Sam are wonderful, expert guides. They put us at ease and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. The route is simply stunning and the whole trip was planned so well; including the great camp dinners! We all had the time of our lives! Highly recommend!

Unforgettable! What an awesome adventure!
As a solo traveller, new to canoeing, wild camping and group trips, I found myself part of this amazing group with a shared love of the outdoors, tremendous spirit of adventure and cracking sense of humour.
Our expert guides, Sam & Geoff, gave great advice, daily info and calm reassurance on tough days. Keeping us safe while allowing space to grow confidence and skill. Patience, humour, encouragement …
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!
Good2 Go again? - without hesitation - just need to do the laundry …

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!

Excellent from start to finish. The views on this tour are outstanding. We had 10 in our group all of differing abilities and our guide Gracjan ensured we all worked together, as a team, throughout to get the most from our holiday. A big thank you to all at skyhook but especially Gracjan for his exceptional leadership and company. Boss.

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.
This was all made possible by our guide Gracjan. He was both professional and knowledgeable, but most of all he was the glue of the group and helped us to bond through inclusitivity.
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

Travelled on: Matterhorn Highlights
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 😊!

We had an amazing trip to climb Mt. Toubkal with skyhook.
Everything went smoothly from transfers to accommodation to the hike itself.
Hamad was a great host kept us very well fed in Imlil.
Ahmed cooked us plenty of great food while hiking.
Mohamed was brilliant as a guide, very knowledgeable and joined in with the patter. Would 100% recommend him as a guide to anyone.
10/10 experience! Yalla Yalla!

Amazing experience from start to finish! Our transfers to and from the airport were organised and in time, our host Hamad at Imlil was warm and welcoming and provided us with amazing meals during our trip! Our guide, Mohammad was friendly and outgoing and had good knowledge of the hike and area and was also up for a good laugh! The chef Ahmed done a good job of providing us with good meals during our time hiking and at the mountain refuge. Overall a 10/10 experience with no issues and would highly recommend!
Yalla Yalla!
Travelled on: Hike Mount Toubkal (4,167m)
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.

Travelled on: Canoe Across Scotland
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.

Great trip, tough climbs, but Ian, our guide was fantastic. Hugely knowledgeable about the mountains as well as how to manage a group of diverse abilities, which can be tricky. A real sense of achievement and can’t wait for the next adventure. Thank you
Travelled on: National 3 Peaks in 3 Days
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.

Fantastic 4 days on the Highlights of TMB with Tom leading us. Tom was a great guide and helped the group to bond and was regularly checking everyone was happy and ok with the pace etc .

I have just returned home from
the wonderful Tour du Mont Blanc highlights led by our guide Ben.
Firstly, Ben is an incredible guide. His passion for the mountains and enthusiasm and knowledge of the surrounding nature were second to none.
I was part of a wonderful group of trekkers.
We loved every aspect of the tour, even the rough ups and the rugged downs!
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.
I would highly recommend this trek. It’s not easy, so be prepared, but with support, effort, and the relevant training, it’s absolutely doable.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.

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.

good care of us. A very minor minus point is the food that is high in carbs and low in protein, which is not our favorable type of diet, but this is very personal. Accommondations are quite nice considering that the hostels are on the mountains. Overall, we highly recommend the tour if you want to have an unforgettable experience.

The trails and mountain views are beautiful and trekking gave a different experience to my usual cycling, motorcycle experiences. However the people made it for me.

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.

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

A trip to remember!! Gorgeous views, lovely company and great food. Would definitely advise bringing lots of socks for evening time but other than that you can pack really light. Would highly recommended to anyone who fancies a weekend long adventure with friends and family :)

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.
