How to Prepare
To fully enjoy this trek, you should be comfortable walking 15-20km (6-8 hours) in a day with some significant hills. We recommend training for 2-3 months beforehand. Focus on weekly long walks, stair climbing, and carrying a weighted daypack (5-7kg) to build stamina. The fitter you are, the more you'll enjoy the incredible views! We can send you a personalised training plan after book if useful.

Worried You're Not Fit Enough?

It's the most common question we get, and the biggest hurdle for most people thinking about the TMB. But here’s the honest answer: this trek is designed to be a challenge, not a race. Our guides are experts at managing different paces and creating a supportive team environment where no one gets left behind. If you follow the training advice in our 'How to Prepare' section, you'll be more than ready to conquer the trails and earn that incredible sense of accomplishment.

Your Safety & Support on the Trail
Your safety is our absolute priority. Our International Mountain Leaders are not only navigation and weather experts, but are also first-aid trained and masters of group management. They will set a sustainable pace, provide constant encouragement, and ensure no one is left behind. You're in the safest possible hands.
Happy hikers enjoying the views
