reviews

We had an absolutely incredible time in Borneo. From the pre-travel information, to being met at the airport, through the jungle, mountain and nature reserve and back to the airport everything was organised and executed perfectly and we didn’t need to worry about a thing! This was a perfect combination what we wanted from the trip and we will definitely never forget it!

The Borneo trip can only be described as an expedition of a lifetime. It was super, full of adventure, fun and completely exceeded my expectations!! All the crew on all sections of the trip were brilliant. Looking forward to my next trips!

The trip was a great experience from start to finish, with lots of information provided beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly, particularly in relation to ever-changing Covid requirements! The hikes themselves were challenging and rewarding in equal measure, and the guide really made the trip, he was friendly, supportive and encouraging, with great knowledge of the areas we hiked through.

Possibly the most rewarding challenge I’ve done so far, it’s really boosted my confidence in myself and I got to see the most incredible views!

We had an amazing experience in the Pyrenees with an amazing, very knowledgeable and really entertaining guide.

DAY 2: BRING IT ON SNOWDON!

Ain't no backin out now!

We'll kick things off with a decent breaky to fuel up for the day then it's off to start this epic.

First up is a cycle 17km from Llyn Padarn to Llyn Cwellyn passing the famous slate mines, rural Welsh farms, and the best scenery this wild country has to offer.

Once reaching the Snowdon Ranger Path it's time for a quick changeover off the bike and into your trekking get up. You and the gang will then pace it up to the summit having earned an unbeatable view (weather permitting) from the highest point in Wales and England. Celebratory selfie in hand, you'll head back down to Llyn Padarn - one of the largest natural lakes in Wales - for the kayaking portion of your challenge.

The final 2.5 mile kayak forms the final push. Emerging from the waters like Poseidon glory is yours. Now it's time for a celebratory tipple and lot's of questioning to try to find out who's idea this crazy challenge was in the first place.
