Our guide Hassan Armde led our group for 2.5 days for Toubkal. Being a local from the Atlas region, he was very passionate and proud to show us parts of his town while walking up the trail, chatting with the locals we passed. He created a great group dynamic right away. He is very patient and funny with a great sense of humor, he made us all laugh while we talked and got to know each other. Our group was half experienced and half beginners and he was always very clear about what was going to happen with the plan each day and what we are to do. Any time we asked for anything or had any questions, he got it done right away to make us feel comfortable in order for us to enjoy to the fullest our trip and our experience during this excursion. During the day of the summit, he made sure we were all together, we went at a good pace that was good for everyone, he took photos of us when we were too cold to take out our phones. This was one of the best summit treks that I've had with a great group dynamic and with everyone being able to make it to the top without any problems or injuries. If you are thinking of hiking Toubkal, ask for Hassan :)!! Thank you again for this great experience, I will come back again for sure. If I come back for a trek in Morocco, I will hope to have Hassan again (he does treks not only in the Atlas region but in other parts of Morocco!!). See you all soon, Samantha.

Really great trip! Hassan Armde was the best guide - super helpful, kind and knowledgeable! He made me feel really safe at all times! Please give him a bonus because he really deserves it! The only thing I would say that could have been improved was the food at the mountain refuge - perhaps more variety / larger quantities because was a bit hungry! Other than that couldn’t fault the adventure! Thank you!

Wow ! , what an experience. Transport, accommodation and food excellent. The hike is up a stunning valley to the mountain refuge which is the last stop before the summit. A tough early morning climb to see the sunrise over the mountain was emotional but magical . The local guides, Mohammad, Hassan and Akram made sure everyone reached the summit safely whilst sharing their knowledge of the area with a smile. A brilliant trip!

WOW!!! This trip was absolutely amazing! Our guide Rayner Ruiz was top notch, and we had a terrific bus driver and mechanic as well. The trip went very smoothly, the selected restaurants were great, the cycling was wonderful..... And I LOVED staying in private casas. If you have ever had any desire to go to Cuba, I HIGHLY recommend this trip! It was cultural, educational, fun, and very special. It will stay with me for a very long time.

It was a good trip. Unfortunately we didn’t make it to the top of Toubkal due to weather conditions. And completely missed sunset and sunrise in the desert due to bad timing. But we had some good moments and the guides were very helpful

Our trek to Everest Base Camp with Freedom Adventure was a memorable experience, thanks to the incredible efforts of Pujan and his dedicated team. Their professionalism and teamwork truly stood out, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. Pujan is a born leader with deep knowledge of the trail and passion for the mountains. His ability to create a positive atmosphere within the group while ensuring everyone's safety and well-being was truly admirable. His constant encouragement and enthusiasm motivated us during the most challenging parts of the trek. The assistants, Tashi and Benja, provided invaluable support throughout the trek. Whether it was helping with logistics, checking in on our well-being, or ensuring meals were ready on time, they were always there for us. Their efforts added a layer of comfort to what could have been a much more demanding journey. They have great potential to lead groups. Would love to see them do this soon! The porters-Dikman, Lanka, Ras, and Prashant were remarkable in their hard work and reliability. They performed their tasks with quiet strength and a positive attitude that we deeply appreciated. Without them we could have mever make it to the top. Absolutely invaluable! The entire team worked seamlessly together to make this trek as smooth as possible, allowing us to focus on the stunning scenery and the incredible experience of reaching Everest Base Camp. While the agency provided the framework, it was the team on the ground that made this journey so special. We would love to trek with this team again! Vera and Rado

We had a great experience with skyhook, summiting Toubkal and experienceing the Sahara. Our guides, Mohammad and Hassan were both capable and professional. Both were notably well respected by the local people we met along the way. We felt very safe with our competent bus driver. Accomodation was comfortable and meals were of a high standard. I would highly recommend this trip to the hiking community. Thanks a million to the people in our group for making the trip even more enjoyable. Phelim & Mairead

The local people are so friendly and hospitable. And the food is absolutely delicious. Everything was very well organized. I felt safe and looked after at all times. Thank you to our experienced and very patient guides Mohammad and Hassan and Skyhook for this incredible experience. p.s. the most amazing thing about such trips is meeting new people, making friends and sharing all the joy together.

I had a great time and it was very apparent along the way that the team from Cuban Adventures -Raynar and crew- was mostly responsible for it. We had to deal with the back side of a hurricane and changes had to be made on the fly. It all went seamlessly. It’s a beautiful country to bike through and I’m very happy I did it.

Great trip. Local guides were spot on. Everyone so friendly, polite and hospitable. Only blemish would be the refuge on Toubkal. Sleeping in a small room of 26 is “interesting “. Walls were damp with condensation running down the walls on to the bunks and pillows.Will definitely book another trip soon though.

Atlas Mountains are amazing and I really enjoyed the walk. However having done several previous treks with other companies the organisation of this one was lacking. We waited around 1.5 hours at pick up place for transport to arrive Refuge was expected to be extremely basic but we were all also put into one room on the other nights of accommodation making sleeping a lot harder Guides were good at providing the basics but didn’t give any background information on the region or any other interesting facts Food was basic especially compared to other groups in the refuge

The tour was amazing in that all the activities were fantastic, especially the white water rafting. Accommodation basic but fine. Food local but delicious. Our tour guide Jonathon did his job but seemed bored and even complained of being tired. It was our first time and he did not have the energy & enthusiasm that would have created more excitement. It was obvious that he had done it for years. Other guides were taking photos, videos, making it fun for their groups. Your rating 4/5 due to guide but would highly recommend doing tour to friends with another guide.

It’s took a week or so to find the words to describe how bad the communication was… I was travelling from Bristol to Glasgow. I got on my train as planned at 8am but was told to get off 30 minutes later due to a lorry hitting a bridge and sending masonry on to the tracks closing them all. At 8.50am I let Simon know that I was going to be late for my pick up in Glasgow to no reply!! I then got a taxi go Worcestershire and waited 2 hours for another train to take to me to Manchester and all with in that time STILL no reply and around 6-7 failed call attempts and 10 messages. 10.45 I let Simon know from the Mountaineering team (he was going to be my guide) that 5pm was the time I would arrive instead of 3pm as planned, Simon eventually decided to message back at 12.15pm, 1 hour and 30 minutes later to tell me that was to late and he wouldn’t get me at this point I made over 15 calls and 30 messages to be told that. Be aware skyhooks stand by this level of customer service and communication as they’ve told me in emails there happy he did everything he could. If anyone would like the evidence of this I’ll gladly send it over via email.. it’s provably a blessing I didn’t do the 3 peaks with Simon after how bad his communication is and his problem with taking a call!!

The challenge was excellent but not at all happy with the execution. Pick up was late. Accommodation was basic but pleasant. The transport during the trip was horrendous. Car sick on every journey due to lack of space, aggressive driving, particularly of roundabout but also not slowing down for potholes or speedbumps. Additionally hike guide set pace which was too fast for some members. It was concerning that on multiple occasions and in poor weather and visibility that the guide was out of sight for long periods of time. Some group members were left feeling like they were a drag on the rest of the team and unwanted on the challenge. This atmosphere eminated from the guide and their singling out of certain people. Will not book again. A great shame.

We recently embarked on a challenging 16 days Everest Base Camp Trek on 18 October 2024 with a locally based company, Freedom Adventures. It became our best vacation ever! The whole trekking experience was made even more memorable by the exceptional professionalism and kindness of our guide, Asman Rai & our porter, Akash Tamang from Freedom Adventures. Their unwavering dedication in ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trek was truly commendable. Asman Rai extensive knowledge of the mountains, surrounding areas and cultures, warm and caring character made the whole trek a joyous and fulfilling adventure. Asman Rai & Akash Tamang went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, making us feel supported and motivated every step of the way. They never walked far ahead or far behind us throughout the trek. They were always closed beside us all the way. We were called "4-Handsome men Team", always cheering one another, sometime dancing with Nepali mountain songs while taking our rest stop, just to stay positive and happy, when the going got tough, tougher.... This small things made the whole trek more bearable and easy to manage. We were immensely grateful for their expertise, kindness and always with a positive energy in them which elevated the whole EBC and that made this vacation the best vacation ever! Thank you Asman Rai, Akash Tamang & Freedom Adventures!

This trip was organised and led by Freedom Adventures, based in Nepal. This is my second Skyhook adventure, and I can confidently say that this was a far better managed experience than the other (which was also really great, by the way). We had several interactions with Freedom Adventures on the run up to the trek beginning, and as a result organised some sightseeing trips in Nepal with them before the trek began. At the start of the trek we met our guide, and someone from their office based in Kathmandu, they both explained everything we needed, ran through a kit list check, and even took us to buy any missing items from a reputable shop. This was invaluable as they were able to advise based on recent conditions what we might need in addition, or what we could potentially leave in Kathmandu. Conditions in Nepal had been particularly bad over the prior weeks with poor weather causing landslides and travel disruption. Our guide ensured that any changes in timings, routes, and everything was all factored in, and we arrived at our connecting flight from Ramechhap in good time, where our guide once again found out what was going on with flights, and organised everything we needed. Flights were, predictably bad and had been cancelled for days due to bad visibility, however through pulling strings he was able to arrange an alternative that got us to the front of the queue. This really set the tone for the next two weeks of our actual trek. The freedom adventure guide had his ear to the ground constantly and was aware of any issues before they materialised. He was able to factor in and adapt plans, and ensure we kept to our strict timeline of trekking, and acclimatisation needed for us to safely reach our goal of Everest Base Camp. But here's the thing. Our guide is only 24. He's half our age, and possessed the organisation and communication skills of someone many years their senior. That he also became a great friend along the way just reinforced how great a fit the guide was for us.

A trip of numerous frustrations. Whilst all the people were great on this trip, we did suffer from numerous delays and issues. A heads-up on the humongous, 2 hour + delays getting through Marrakesh airport security would have been much appreciated. The knock-on from this was that we then, before being shipped up to the hotel, waited another 2 hours in Marrakesh for a group to arrive. A cut-off and continue after 30 minutes should have been implemented. Our trip coincided with some very inclement weather: our flight bags were carried on mules to the overnight stays but contents arrived damp. More care should have been taken with covering the bags. The refuge hut was a bit of a surprise - our dorm had 26 beds arranged on 2 levels. Each mattress is tight up against it's neighbour - be careful if you roll around in your sleep! Boots were required to be taken off on arrival in the refuge - so if you hadn't considered bringing camp shoes, you had wet socks for the duration. It'd be worthwhile adding extra shoes these to the kit list... There were only 3 toilets for the whole refuge - no where near enough as everyone is obviously being woken at the same time to head out for the summit, and other times there's also usually a big queue. On our summit morning, we woke at 4am to check the weather. Unfortunately the storm hadn't moved on, and so it was decided it was too dangerous to continue. A bit of a shame but I concur it was the right thing to do. For me, the walking pace was very slow, which made it much more tiring to be so far off my usual pace. Maybe being able to split the group would be better? A number of people in the group suffered from sickness or (likely) altitude issues. Again splitting the group could have benefited those. The positives! : The accommodation and service at Imlil were great - plenty of tea (!), ample, and varied, food. Comfortable room - mine was a 2 bed room with my partner. The walks were through stunning scenery. As already mentioned, the group (14 of us) were all great to be with and share life stories as we hiked, or spent meals together. The Skyhook team were all very friendly and supportive throughout. Overall, I'd say the trip has given me many new memories and experiences, which is what I take these trips for. These will input into further trips and maybe focus me on smaller groups.. One tip - be aware that not many shops/restaurants take cards - or are reticent in doing so.. Get sufficient local currency! You'll see better rates by changing money at the various bureaus than using Euro's; which is widely accepted.

Just about to leave Morocco after a fantastic week. Mount Toubkal was a challenge due to the weather(snow from the refuge) but our guide delayed the start and helped us summit. Then the Sahara was magical and a huge contrast. Long days traveling but we knew that would be the case. Fantastic value for money as well looked after with food etc. I was a solo traveler but were in a great group.

Great experience from Atlas Vertical in country with Lahouceine sorting all the logistics. Great value for money with transfers, food, guides and accommodation included. Mohammed and an additional guide that joined him called Abdul were amazing and the mule handler/chef was also fantastic at the Toubkal refuge providing all the food and taking spare baggage. All in all a great value for money trek and get away from reality, experiencing Morocco’s mountain scenery at its finest. Tips: Make sure you have what’s on the kit list particularly around the colder/winter seasons. Make sure you’ve got the name of the hotel in Imlil before arriving at passport control as they ask for profession, hotel and stay duration. Might be an idea to but a local SIM card for WhatsApp etc which are available in the exit hall after baggage collection. Thanks to Skyhook and Atlas Vertical for a great experience .

All in all a very good trip , well planned out, the guides were great and accommodation was good. Only a couple of issues. 1 , would have been nice to have been picked up a little earlier from marrakesh, we was wondering around all day until 730pm after having to check out of our hotel at 11am also was quite late by time we got there and ate etc that night. 2, some of the meals provided didn't have much cards needed for energy other than bread , more rice ,pasta or oats would have been ideal, very important to get the correct diet when expending so much energy. 3, a little more freedom with the pace on the trek, we had 3 guides, splitting us into 3 groups based on ability and speed would have been ideal, found we was waiting around a lot at times and out in the sun longer than we needed to be also tripping up over people infront of us going slower . Other than that thoroughly enjoyed it and am booking another trip soon 👍.

Myself and my husband completed the Mount Toubkal trek in October 2024. I believe others had booked onto our trek but pulled out at the last minute due to illness, this meant we were the only 2 people on our trek. At first I was a little nervous about this but it turned out to make the experience even better as we had a "private" tour guide and shared memorable experiences with each other and our guide. Our guide Abdul made our trip what it was. He worked tirelessly to ensure we were always happy and safe on the mountain. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a wonderful sense of humour, we shared many funny moments together. He even gave me his gloves at the summit as my hands were still cold (despite having gloves of my own). The food was also excellently prepared by our chef and muleteer, with extra generous portions to keep you fuelled. The logistics were all taken care of - extremely impressive and professional. Don't forget to take cash with you into the mountains and tip generously. The incredible guides, chefs and muleteers work relentlessly and often run back-to-back treks without a break at peak season (up to 4 per week!). We were aching the days following our trip and could believe our guide woke up the next day to do it all again. What an experience! One we'll remember forever.

Our guide Kev was fantastic, the hotel was really good, the transport was well organised. Skyhooks process of accepting people onto a "challenge" was poor and made what should have been an excellent experience very disappointing. The fact that one of the participants had the guide carry his bag from the first mile of the first mountain was an absolute joke. I shall never be booking a "challenge" through Skyhook again. For this type of activity I suggest you find like minded people who you personally know and trust will take it as seriously as you do. To not complete this in the 24 hours because of others lack of preparation was so frustrating.

really amazing experience, highly recommend. beautiful views, good hiking, nice accommodation on the first and third night, fresh food made by chefs. everything really is included: equipment like head torches/ sleeping bags if you don't have them, all the transfers only issue was miscommunication on first day, the guide left the central Marrakech meeting point early to go to the airport. I was there at 7:25 but they had already left, so I had to get a taxi alone to the airport to meet the group. this was organised last minute very well by lahouciene but easily could have been avoided guides were really lovely and knowledgeable , would have been nice if they told the group more about the region at breaks / free time

I really enjoyed this trip. It is a great introduction to hiking at altitude.The group was a mixture of guys and girls ranging from early 20's up to 60 years old. The guides were able to keep a pace that suited such a diverse group expertly. The accommodation was basic but homely comfortable and charming. The food was the biggest surprise, we were given gorgeous meals and plenty of it. As for the mountain the views from the top are spectacular. I would recommend anyone to do this trip. 5 stars

This was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Lukas, was fabulous. He really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble. Loved the kayaking in the fjords, wild camping on the shore and walking up to, and above, Pulpit Rock. I'd definitely recommend this trip!

This was an amazing adventure. Between our guide Kush and our assistant guide Benja we could not have asked for more. They were not only professional and informative but also knew how to lighten the mood when the trekking got tough. Every step of the journey was challenging and breath taking at the same time. From nights in the tea houses to sunrise on the mountains it was more than we expected or hoped for. Hats off to Skyhook and Freedom Adventures for the trip of a lifetime.

Did the 12-day EBC hike with Lal as our guide and Aidhan as our porter! No regrets, as they really looked after us throughout the hike! We encountered some bad weather at the higher altitude and many groups didn't make it to EBC. However, with Lal's 20+ years of experience, he took us safely through and we managed to reach the destination! So thankful for him. The hike was made more difficult with continuous rain & snow as it was still end Sep (end Monsoon season). We managed to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla to start the hike, instead of taking a jeep to the other domestic airport. The trails and teahouses were not as crowded too, making it a better experience. When we left in early Oct, we could see the crowds start to come in. We also topped up for a private toilet in most of the teahouses, which was quite convenient and sometimes comes with hot showers and charging in the room. Upendra was also responsive to our questions prior to our trip and made things very seamless for us, including baggage and airport transfer. Overall, would highly recommend them!

Our guide Sandra was amazing, from the start worked hard to ensure we had the best time. Unfortunately we had poor weather lots of rain which made our wild camping experience tricky dispite having the right clothing for the conditions the camping equipment and site (which was swamp like) was inadequate for our needs from the start . No dry areas to pitch tents. The tents leaked, our guide had to cook in pouring rain with no cover, no where to shelter to eat and sit together and no contingency plan for weather conditions. No where to dry anything. Yes we signed up for wild camping but feel for future clients the camping equipment and camp site needs to be updated and reviewed. The kayacking was amazing and equipment was brilliant, the food was great 😊 as was the hike.

There’s no such thing as bad weather in Scotland and you only can get wet to the skin! A trip of many emotions, it’s challenging in all the right ways and such a sense of accomplishment. I felt safe all the time as a solo traveller and included within the group it was a holiday I will never forget… So negatives … the weather can make certain parts more challenging but that is character building 🤣 Positives … the guides are friendly and inclusive, the food was way better than I expected (thanks Geoff) and if you don’t know how to do something they teach you and check you are ok :) including putting a tent up and learning how to paddle etc etc Overall if you’re considering this I would say go for it; but be prepared to be cold and wet at times, tired and a little achy 🤣 read the kit list well and ensure u have the things you really need! Oh and remember to look up the scenery is awesome!

On my way home from this adventure. Had a great time. Brilliant guides in Chucky and Geoff, engaging, full of stories, and looked out for us all. The food catered for all needs, just let them know beforehand. The snack bucket went down a treat 😀 Plenty of challenges whether it be from canoeing, wind and waves, rain, cold toes ( get your footwear right) or wild camping and all it entails. You really don't need many clothes, work on layers. A head torch makes life easier with free hands. A battery pack is handy for charging your phone for all the photos. Good waterproofs are an essential against the wind and rain potential. A hat can hide all manners of hair sins! If you want something to gently challenge you, make new friends and connect you with nature then this is great thing to do. A mix of couples, friends and solo travellers quickly got to know each other and have fun. Definitely recommend.🙂

Had a fabulous time, our guides Sam and Pete did an amazing job, after seeing the weather forecast they decided the safest and greatest chance of completing the trip, was to do the trip in reverse. This enabled us to sail our canoes over Loch Ness, now known to us as The Ness. We encountered other trips and tour operators which started a day after ours and coming from the other direction, they were having a tough time battling the wind direction. We met some great people and have already arranged to meet up with a few.

This trip was absolutely amazing. We had the best guides in Sam and Pete. They had researched the weather so we started at Inverness, this decision meant we managed to complete the entire trip, where other groups did not. We stayed on the banks of the lochs with home cooked food which Sam mostly cooked. The trip catered for vegans and vegetarians. We simply had the best time and as a group bonded really well. I can't recommend this trip enough. You get highly skilled guides, excellent food and a really amazing experience 10/10

Our rafting, canyoning & kayaking trip on Cetina River was a wonderful experience! It was very well organised and a good combination of different adventurous activities. The accommodation in the old town of Omiš was superb. Our local guides from Malduk agency - Eva, Dado and Toni - really did an excellent job! We timely received all the relevant information and instructions, as well as answers to our queries and requests. The transfers and necessary logistics worked out without any problems. While sometimes out of the comfort zone, we always felt safe and in good hands. Overall, it was a memorable and exciting trip, highly recommend!

What an incredible 4 days we have just had kayaking and hiking to Pulpit rock. Breath taking scenery, from the gentle slopes with cabins and farms over to the dramatic fjord, and the climb was stunning. We were very lucky with sunny weather, so much easier for being outside all day and camping, and we lucked out with our group, including Adam our extremely knowledgeable, calm yet enthusiastic to show us incredible nature (including a night kayak to see bioluminescent algae). A real outdoor adventure weekend that was very memorable.

She is experienced ,safe, kind, a wonderful teacher and rustles up an amazing meal from seemingly nowhere. We swam, kayaked, hiked, watched seals, spotted star fish and Blue Mussels and sat around the fire sharing stories. I can’t rate this trip highly enough

This was a fantastic experience. The whole group were great fun and our two guides, Geoff and Chris, were brilliant. Both have been doing this trip for many years and were very experienced being able to deal with any situation to make the whole thing a very relaxed and enjoyable time. Some days can be long and you'll feel like you've worked up an appetite by the end of the day. Campside evening meals prepared by our guides were excellent , but the most impressive thing was the way they managed to ensure the weather stayed dry and sunny all week with light winds. Still don't know how you did this lads! So if you want a week away from the rat race, with a sense of adventure, stunning views good company, then I thoroughly recommend this trip.

I think it’s fantastic what people are able to achieve, however I think it would be better if people’s levels were properly serviced. I was aware of the pace needed to complete the challenge however due to others in the group aiming for a much quicker time, other members of the group got left behind which ruined the experience for me. While my goal was to take part and push myself for charity close to my heart, being forced to work at the pace of the quickest person in the group meant complete failure which as you can imagine was very disheartening. To alleviate this I think having two guides would really help, one at the front one at the back. By no means is this an easy feat to accomplish but you do a disservice when you add extra pressure by only caring about those who were pushing for the faster quicker times. That being said the people involved were great, although my guide did not check in with me on why I failed the first mountain at all (again seeming only to care about those who were flying at pace) they seemed genuine, and particularly the drivers were very friendly which was good. The accommodation was poor, while it might be listed as 3 star I’d imagine this is closer to a 1 or 2 star establishment. Hopefully my constructive criticism helps you create better experiences for those taking part.

This was my first hut to hut hiking experience and I was a little apprehensive. I needn't have been. The pace was comfortable and although challenging in places with the rocky terrain underfoot and some steep ascents, it was manageable and the stunning scenery and views certainly made it worthwhile. The huts we stayed in were basic, as expected but the food was great and the staff were very friendly and helpful in all the ones we stayed in. It was clear that Ian, our guide was very experienced in several outdoor activities and his passion for the outdoors shone. His communication skills, both before and during the trip meant we all had clear expectations and helped us gel as a group. Safety was always a priority, not just for our group but others we came across on the mountains. In all, the whole trip, group, guide and most of all the landscape was amazing and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Right from the star Grigor ensured our equipment was correct, that we had the capability, and once we were off he constantly briefed us on the route and added in many gems of information about the local landscape, the flora and fauna and geology. His combination of professionalism and ability to connect at a personal level helped make everyone feel secure and confident.

Incredible 4-Day Kayak & Hiking Adventure with Nordic Paddling! My friends and I just returned from an unforgettable 4-day kayaking and hiking experience with Nordic Paddling, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with how everything turned out! From start to finish, the trip was perfectly organized and exceeded all of our expectations. First and foremost, our guide Adam was absolutely fantastic. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his friendly and approachable personality, made the trip both fun and educational. Adam always ensured that we felt safe and comfortable, whether we were navigating through the stunning fjords by kayak or trekking along breathtaking hiking trails. He was full of interesting stories about the local history and wildlife, which made the experience even more immersive. The scenery throughout the trip was nothing short of spectacular. We paddled through crystal-clear waters, surrounded by towering cliffs, peaceful islands, and incredible wildlife. The hikes were equally impressive, offering panoramic views that were well worth the effort. Nordic Paddling clearly knows how to choose the best routes for adventure seekers and nature lovers alike! What really stood out was the attention to detail in terms of planning. The equipment provided was top-notch, and Adam made sure we were well-prepared for every leg of the journey. The pace of the trip was perfect, striking a great balance between challenging activities and relaxation. Whether we were stopping for a delicious packed lunch with a view or enjoying a quiet moment by the campfire in the evening, every moment felt special. I can’t recommend Nordic Paddling highly enough! If you’re looking for a unique, active, and beautifully curated outdoor adventure, this is the company to go with. Thank you, Nordic Paddling, and especially Adam, for giving us a trip we’ll always remember!

Hi we had a really good trip with Alps Adventures the guide Charles was unique in that he was a geologist and Botanist, he is a Yoga Teacher and a spiritual leader. he brought a whole other level of interest to the four days of Hiking. he had great contact with the whole group and held everyone together very well. the outdoor picnic lunches in the mountains were spectacular. overall i would say it would be hard to get a better guide. Accommodation on the first night was a tight squeeze for some of the group. but over all the trip was well worth doing.

Spectacular adventure that had a good balance of difficulty. Most incredible views along the routes. Was very well organised even when it rained on the first day. It was a lot of fun being with a group of people I had not met before, we gelled really well which made the whole experience more enjoyable! But five plus rating goes to our incredible guide Charles who elevated my experience by bringing in a more spiritual connection to the mountains and was super funny!! One of the best trips ever!

Fantastic experience, highly recommend! I went early September after the bridge closed so a slightly different route but we didn't miss out. We had a great guide in Charles, kept the team motivated and helped everyone to find their own pace, happy to share his knowledge of the area and nature. It is a challenge as to be expected and I found the climb on day three the most challenging but also the most rewarding. The dinners at the accommodation were great and we got to share some delicious picnic lunches. I highly recommend booking, taking time to prep (with as much experience of long ascents with your backpack as you can get if a newbie to multiday hikes like me!) and making sure to pack light on the day!

Fabulous! This was a super organised trip from airport pick up to airport drop off. Despite a slightly altered itinerary, as the the Mt Blanc tunnel was closed, we completed 4 days of stunning hikes, some more challenging than others . On day 4 we received the super reward of incredible views of Mt Blanc, and tip top late lunch prior to returning home. I can’t thank Mark our guide enough for his ability to create a supportive team from a fabulous bunch of people, who all came together to make a memorable fun trip. Mark supported those who were struggling, encouraged us all to work together, as well as providing a fantastic overview of the area from historical information, geological events, and other fascinating facts. Thank you Mark. If you do this trip practice walking up hills, the elevation is hard work!

Overall I thought this was a really great trip. The guides were excellent and the scenery is fantastic. I arrived a day early and stayed at hotel Ali. It's not 5* but it is comfortable with plenty of hot water and it's central to Marrakech main square. The transfer to Imlil went smoothly and we became acquainted as a group. And, we were extra lucky because it was a great group of people. The trek however is not for the faint hearted. The walk from Imlil is 12k and it's uphill all the way to the refuge at 3200m along a stony track . When you get there the accommodation is, as you would expect, quite basic. We stayed in a mixed dormitory of 26 people. Cozy isn't the word as there is no gap between individual mattresses. The walk from the refuge to the top of the mountain (another 1000m) is a challenge both in terms of terrain and, in my case, altitude sickness. We started off at 2.30am to try and get to the top for the sunrise. The start is more of a scramble over rocks which, in wet weather could present an even bigger challenge once slippery. A really good headtorch is essential and make sure you've done some hill training before setting off because if you don't, you'll suffer. Once the peak had been conquered we made our way back to the refuge and back to Imlil for the night. The next day it was off again and onwards to the Sahara. This is a long drive but sight seeing along the way was well organised and stunning - Dades Gorge, The Monkey Fingers and more. The camel ride was just over an hour long to the Berber camp. Wear long trousers for the camel ride to prevent chaffing!! Then the heavens opened. Torrential rain, lightning, thunder, howling wind - in the desert ?! BUT, we all survived and came out unscathed. The Berber ' accommodation stood up really well to the weather. Showers and toilets were clean and again, plenty of hot water. The next day was a long long drive back to Marrakech. It took approximately 10 hours. If your flight is supposed to be on that day you might want to consider staying over an extra night as we did. It gave us the opportunity to shower, relax, change clothes and have another half day sightseeing in the city. Again Hotel Ali was the chosen accommodation. If you're looking for a challenge, fantastic scenery and to experience a very different culture then this may well be the trip for you. I will certainly book other trips through Skyhook.

It was a brilliant experience. The mountain guides, muleteers, chef and drivers were all personable and cheerful. Food were fresh and delicious. Accommodations were comfortable except the Refuge du Toubkal, it was windy so door needs to be closed. Hence, it was warm and bit suffocating. Otherwise, everything is perfection. Lahousine, the Atlas Vertical manager has welcomed us in his own Riad with Moroccan tea and wafers and he served our dinner. He made us felt at home. The group that we went with were all amazing and inspiring. Moroccan is truly magnificent!

A tour that we would definitely recommend and could do it again! Our group was diverse and our guide, Mads, was very patient and always there when someone assistance, he was very organized, from meal planning to keeping us in schedule, quickly adjusting plans when needed and it was clear he knew the area and the route which gave us confidence and allowed us to fully enjoy the journey. The trip had its challenges, when we had to camp in rainy weather or when we had to paddle against the wind. The food was great, and cooking together with the group added a fun, communal element, you gotta be a team player here. The group itself was fantastic, and the route we followed had the perfect mix of stunning scenery, adventure, and variety. It was a trip that really pushed us out of our comfort zone (mostly my friend 😅) and left us with unforgettable memories. Thanks!

One thing that could be better is the packing list - I carried many things per the packing list circulated, which weren’t needed at all and could have spared me the weight (thankfully, could leave them all behind in the van while we backpacked!). Laura made us delicious meals and thewhole exp was amazing. Oh ! And the great snacks she provided us to much on thr the day ! Will be backpacking again 👍

Just got back from Toubkal hike with skyhook. Lhouceine arranged all our transfers to and from Marrakech to and from Imlil and Jawad was our guide. I wish I could remember the names of everyone else who was involved in making this trip so amazing. So firstly thanks to our private chef and guy with the mule who moved our stuff up and down the mountain. Food was generous, nutritious and delicious especially the omelette. Thanks for the offer of the ride down on your mule. There were definitely moments that I wish I had accepted. Thanks to all the family at the riad in Imlil. I felt very safe and welcome. You have a beautiful place. Thanks to everyone at the refugee. The atmosphere is energetic and friendly. It was clean and the shower hot. Thanks to Lhouceine and our drivers who sorted transfers from Marrakech to Imlil. Friendly smiles and great communication. Last but not least a big thank you to Jawad our guide. We were in good and kind hands for sure. Your knowledge and love of the mountain(s) was inspiring to be around. Thank you for sharing it with me. I won't forget my trip. I will definitely use skyhook and their team again.

She gave the impression that she genuinely cared about us as individuals and of our enjoyment as a group. Her passion for her job and the environment she works in was addictive and she is a credit to Nordic Paddling. I won’t give any spoilers but just to say that this trip was filled with nature at its best and most powerful and it has given me memories that will last a lifetime. Book it, you won’t regret it.

The activities and our guide Sandra is a five star review. Loved the Kayaking and the Hike and our guide Sandra was super helpful, knowledgeable and all round great person. Our driver to/from the hike and airport was also super helpful. The drop of one star is for the camp site. Appreciate it is wild camping but we had torrential rain on the first day so when we turned up most of the location was very boggy and a few of the tents leaked which tested us. A simple canopy to put up to give us somewhere for us all to sit comfortably outside would have made a massive difference. Bar that, great trip and would recommend - just make sure you take some warm layers for the evenings.

Brilliant experience. Both guides with Atlas Vertical were amazing - Abdul and Hassan were friendly and knowledgeable local guides. The walk to and from Mt Toubkal was hard in the heat but rewarding. Our legs were aching for two days after! The sightseeing elements were all interesting with good stopping points along the way for great lunches. The hotel in Dades Valley was fab. Hassan was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating as our driver. The desert experience was great if not a little touristy! The ‘reception’ hotel was a little disappointing as the launch and return point for the camel ride. This was the only slightly poor element - the breakfast was awful. The tents were hot in the dunes and not as remote as you would imagine and the food was basic. The stars were incredible and the camel ride was good fun there and back. The whole experience was extremely positive and I can definitely recommend this tour to any intrepid explorers. We really got under the skin of Morocco and saw the best of it in a safe way.

The trip is not actually eight days! You count the day you pick us up at the airport, which is very misleading. Then you included the day I went to sacred Valley, which wasn’t really part of the Salkantay Trek. Additionally, you also consider the day after Machu Pichu as another day! that’s very misleading. Your tour guide was excellent (Max). However, two of the days were spent wasting time during morning and lunch breaks. Many of the hikers would have preferred to arrive at camp earlier and have time for themselves. I will not be booking any future treks with you and I will not be recommending your company to others.

We had alot of rain, so made the camping hard, but the tour guide Adam, kept very professional and calm and dealt with everything calmly. The only down points, the linen in the lodge, could do with being regularly changed or replaced, the camp site is very basic, and you really do get involved in everything, setting up tents, cooking, washing, carrying the kayaks. The camp site could do with some added extras, in case of rain fall.

Last year our group did the 4 day tour of Mont Blanc through SkyHook, so we were expecting an easier hike after looking at the details of this one - how wrong we were! The Grand Paradiso is a beautiful and really spectacular hike. It has some tough climbs, especially on the second day, but worth it when you get to the highest peak of the day. If you are thinking of doing this trip, then a really good level of fitness is required, also a head for nights, as in places the footpaths are very precarious. The accommodation is good if you don’t mind dorms; the evening meals are good and breakfast is basic - bread and cereal. Our guide Roberto was excellent. He is very experienced and was patient with those slower walkers in our group. Also offered good tips on using poles and walking up and down the mountains. This was an experience of a lifetime and we are really pleased we took up the challenge. We would highly recommend this hike, but make sure you train for it.

After doing the Tour du Mont Blanc last year, this years hike is definitely for the more experienced hiker. Personally, I found this hike a huge challenge. The trek goes through some pretty hair raising terrain, with some very risky drops and challenging climbs, which I found really hard to get through. However, now I’m safety at home reflecting on the whole experience, I can say that this is one of the hardest, but most rewarding things I have ever done. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and not just because of the relentless upward steep climb…. they are truly amazing! The organisation of the hike is well worth all the effort, and the sleeping arrangements and the evening meals etc are a huge part of the fun aspect of the trip. Our guide, Roberto is a fantastic guy. His knowledge of the mountains is brilliant, and I have never seen anyone skip across a glacier to rescue a fallen hiker so amazingly quickly in my life. There are only a few points that I do feel could have made it all so much better, and that’s the breakfasts and packed lunches from the chalets. The coffee was great, but the breakfast food on offer could have been better. There were better chalets than others for the breakfast offering, and that was the same for the packed lunches. The last thing I wanted to eat when I was hot, tired, thirsty and hungry was a really stale bread roll with a single slice of ham. However, the evening meals absolutely made up for it, great Italian hospitality. Chalet de Epeé being a huge favourite. Anyway, this was an awesome experience that I was able to share with my amazing family, and made some great friends along the way, but it is certainly not for the faint hearted!!!

Wonderful outdoor experience! I recently had an incredible experience with Alps Adventures, and I highly recommend them! From start to finish, everything was amazing. The views on the hike were breathtaking, the accommodations were comfortable and cosy, and the food was delicious. Don't miss out on trying the local cheese and home-baked cakes. They were a treat! But what made this adventure truly special was the team. After a day of hiking, we danced, sang, and played games together. It created a great atmosphere and made the trip unforgettable. One tip: pack light! Our guide suggested keeping the backpack under 6kg, and it made the hike much easier. It's nice to have only what you need and leave unnecessary things behind. If you want an adventure that will leave you with positive energy and unforgettable memories, choose Alps Adventures. They pay attention to every detail and have an amazing team! Don't miss out on this opportunity! Hope to see you again next year!

What an amazing experience. I booked as a solo paddler (no experience) and from the get go had the best time. Sam and Geoff, our guides were fantastic, we all had utter trust in them, despite some hairy (and windy) times across Loch Ness. The wild camping was beautiful, the sites gave us some beautiful evenings, fire on the beach etc. At the end of the day, if you don't eat well then you are grumpy....we ate amazingly well! Evening meals cooked by Sam and Geoff, an always available snack barrel and brews from the Kelly kettle kept us all happy. And over 5 days a group of 13 individuals forged a friendship you rarely encounter nowadays. I can't recommend the trip highly enough.

The trip was a phenomenal week filled with new experiences and lessons, I'm so glad I went. Highlights were sheltering under tarpaulins as we waited for a fierce Scottish thunderstorm to pass, and using makeshift sails to travel at 10mph across Loch Ness. The guides (Sam and Geoff) who took us were incredible and I always felt so safe, even in choppier waters which could have been scary if they weren't so confident and skilled. Amidst it all, we had time to relax in nature without the distractions of normal life. In the run up to the trip, I was worried it might be boring or that it would be too hard - it was neither. It was at times very relaxing and at times exhilarating, but it wasn't too physically demanding. The group was a bit of a mixed bunch. I was the youngest (mid-twenties) with most in their 50's and a few possibly reaching 70. Of the 13 on our trip, some were siblings / spouses / friends / work colleagues, and there were 4 of us who were solo travellers. People came from various different backgrounds and had different canoeing experience, but everyone got on so well, and we had a fabulous time together. All of the kit provided was in excellent condition, although the kit list we were sent was a bit overwhelming. I found the wildcamping particularly life-affirming and cannot thank Sam and Geoff (as well as Chucky and Skyhook) enough for helping to make it happen. I've already recommended the trip to several people.

Did the trip in August and it was fabulous. Our guide Lolotte was amazing, very encouraging and engaging, great fun and an all round fantastic guide. The trip was great from start to finish. We were lucky to get fab weather throughout and the scenery is just amazing. The daily hikes were briefed to us beforehand and we had lovely places to stop for lunches and regular stops for water etc. I found day 2 a challenge with the incline in the heat but I got used to the routine and it was perfect. The huts were all great and I managed to sleep well enough. The food was brilliant considering the remoteness and the numbers being catered for. If you're up for a hike with stunning scenery and are happy to muck in with eating n sleeping in close quarters to complete strangers then you'll love it. Thanks to Lolotte and my fellow hikers for a wonderful trip.

The most amazing family adventure! Tough but such a sense of achievement when you reach the summit! John from Savage Wilderness was the best guide - so knowledgeable and informative. His team of porters looked after us brilliantly over the five days - fabulous food and hot water bottles on cold nights! Would definitely recommend this trip.

Great trip, really enjoyed kayaking to the old Harry Rocks and off Swanage Bay. Our guides Matt and Tobias were very organised, friendly and made our trip so memorable! 😎 Also enjoyed the first day with Andy and Melvin in Poole Bay.

Overall, I enjoyed this trip. Didn't get off to the best start with the campsite move and lack of clarity with plans and a lot of waiting around ; but a big thank you to Angela for her thoughtfulness and efforts to sort things out. Saturday and Sunday were better. Matt and Tobias were great leaders those days, and looked after the group really well. We had some changes of plans due to the sea conditions but everyone made the best of it. The location is stunning, the views when kayaking were amazing and it was - overall - good fun.

The trip from start to finish was professionally executed. from the Marrakech pickup to the hike and hostel. we stayed a night in Imlil in a beautiful lodge (with amazing views of the stars) and tasty Moroccan food. Then Muhamad, our guide appeared in the morning, laid out the plan and off we set. He is so friendly, speaks French, Arabic, Spanish and English fluently, and knows absolutely everyone. He was very attentive but also knew when to let the group just speak between themselves. one of our group got into some knee trouble on the descent fromt the refuge and he arranged a donkey to carry them. An absolute wizard! I will say though, to summit at sunrise (+1000m) you need to hike in the dark, and then descend back to the refuge for a break before descendingthe remaining 1500m to Imlil. it's quite difficult, but Muhamad really knows his stuff. what he can't know is if you need more of a break after the summit, and after speaking with him and the lodge, it's something that they can do. Something to keep in mind. 100%. Also, don't forget the cook and donkey, amazing food and he pretty much did most of the hike leading a donkey. He contributed almost as much as Mohamad! totally made our vacation.

The weather was atrocious on two of the three days! But it was nevertheless a very enjoyable trip thanks to our super guide Sandra. Also very fortunate that our group got on so well together. I thoroughly recommend this trip.

A wonderful adventure, despite lashings of rain. Camp was wet and boggy, kayaks and tents leaked, there was very little undercover space, but our guide was incredibly positive, supportive and full of enthusiasm. It’s a beautiful part of the world and this trip is a great way to experience it. The equipment list was super helpful, although taking multiple smaller dry bags would be beneficial for ease of packing into the kayaks (and as extra water protection!)

The view, the mountains, the landscape was amazing, spectacular and beautiful. The guide Enrico was really nice, funny,communicative and shared a lot of information about the nature, hiking experience, Italian culture, etc. It would have been useful to get more information about the daily route types, km-s, ascent, descent,timing, etc. The last day descent part was really challenging..and we had to go back to the initial point. The accomodations were good, clean and nice, but once the lunch box included dry white bread.. First dinner was acceptable but the quantity was really few. The breakfasts were too expensive taking into consideration that they were only dry white bread with sweet things, and salty options were never provided. I also missed the group building from the first evening.

A superb mountain adventure: amazing views, unspoiled scenery, fresh air and the opportunity to visit 3 countries in 4 days by foot. Charles was a wonderful guide. He made us truly appreciate the nature, practice gratitude, mindfulness and yoga. A truly heartfelt thank you!

Wow what an amazing experience with a great group of people who ranged in age from 18 to 60. The guide Charles was first class and did yoga at the end of each day to stretch out some sore legs. The views were unbelievable both during the day and at night. Highly recommended

This was an amazing trip that far exceeded my expectations. From start to finish it was very well organised and executed. We felt safe and very well fed. The views are outstanding. The hike was a great challenge for a moderately fit individual. We had fantastic weather that just added to the joy. Our guide, Charles, is a beautiful soul that made our adventure both a physical and spiritual journey. He was skilled in managing the group and ensuring he attended to everyone's needs with kindness and assertiveness. I will be very keen to complete another trip and even the same one.
