Skyhook Reviews 

Three Peaks in 24 hours challenge.
Everything went like clockwork from the moment we were checked in, all very efficient and organised. Nice group and a great and knowledgable guide for the trip - Richard. Accommodation was fine. If you like a challenge and can handle very little sleep then do it, it’s great!

My only comment would be that three of our group were clearly not prepared and slowed the group, and they only did two of the three. Maybe it could be highlighted it is a challenge and therefore hard going. If they want a more comfortable pace then go for the three day option.

Exceptional leadership of the trip, that sweet spot of help and 'hands off' guidance, made this a really great experience and I'm sure our lovely group would not have been quite so close-knit without them. I can't thank Reg and Bill enough; I loved the canoeing and learned so much from them. Top marks and thanks for showing me what I am capable of!

An excellent adventure. If you’re considering it, just do it, you won’t regret it. Pack minimally, get used to wearing wet clothes and not brushing your hair, make the most of porcelain loos, don’t forget your phone charger, make sure your waterproofs are waterproof, neoprene socks will be your friends although they will stink. The pub in Fort Augustus opens at 12, don’t be late. Have an amazing journey and discover your self.

What an unbelievable experience this was! It was everything we hoped for and more. Unbelievable scenery, the guides were brilliant and luckily enough we got a great group that bonded instantly making it an experience we'll never forget!!

Amazing experience and would definitely recommend , Rich our guide was fantastic and made the trip good fun

It’s really hard to put into words what an incredible adventure this trip to the lyesefjords in Norway was. The booking and communication with Skyhook was faultless. Completely out of my comfort zone I was prepared to jump in and embrace whatever came our way. I knew from the moment we met our wonderful guides, Netta and Carla from Nordic Paddling that we were in for an incredible experience.
A meet and greet on the banks of the fjord with a demonstration of all the kayaking gear, followed by a lovely local style meal where we got to know our fellow travellers was the perfect end to our first night.
Up early on day two, a healthy breakfast filled us for our day of Kayaking. I was impressed with the care taken to explain the techniques and safety precautions we needed for our day ahead.
The weather was not perfect with rain and drizzle on and off for most of the day but the kayaking along the lyesefjord was breathtaking. Really hard to put into words but the scenery, the journey and the camaraderie within the group made it a special day.
On arrival at our home for the next few days we quickly learned that the ’wild camping’ was indeed wild! We were given a demonstration on how to put up our own tents and then a rundown of the campsite and rules needed to make everyone’s stay as comfortable as possible. Once everyone was set up and unpacked we were treated to a well earned meal around our campfire prepared by Netta and Carla. It was delicious.
An early night was had as we had a 6am start for our hike up Priekestolen the next day. Not going to lie. After the previous days kayaking my legs were very sore but I was determined to make it up and oh my goodness was it worth it. The hike up and the stunning views of the Fjords are breathtaking. No photograph can do it justice. Our guides were patient and stayed with the slowest of the group to make sure everyone was safe and no one was left behind. That evening was spent chatting and enjoying each other’s company around the camp fire with another tasty meal which was a great way to end a spectacular day hiking and sightseeing.
Our last morning was spent with a beautiful casual kayak further up the Fjords. The weather was stunning and to get to experience the fjords from sea level was truly magical. We returned to camp, packed up our belongings and tents and returned to the Nordic Paddling offices to prepare for our return home but before we finished we all sat around and reflected on the few days we had all spent together and the shared experiences of our trip. A perfect end to your activities.
The Wild camping experience really exceeded my expectations. It was wild! It was tough going in parts but It was so much fun to experience the Fjords of Norway in this way and It really was a once in a lifetime experience that will live long in my memories. Nordic Paddling and their guides were amazing to deal with and I couldn’t recommend them enough. I will definitely be looking at other adventures with Sky Hook.

My daughter and I have just returned from the canoe across Scotland trip and what an adventure we have had!
Our happy group of 8 was lead by the lovely Kieran, a safe, experienced and charming guide. Our briefing was full, informative and we were in no doubt what was happening. We were taken to delightful wild campsites, stopped off at some points of interests treated to the best camping cuisine I have ever been lucky enough to have eaten. When things got “spicy” on Loch Ness we were given clear and calm Instructions.
A big thank you to all involved in organising this trip-especially Kieran for all his hard work, care and patients.

Had a stonking time, professional setup with excellent guidance and good kit.

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. Not a day without rain and a couple with crazy wind but our guide Kieran was amazing at keeping the group’s morale up. He’s a great cook and such a patient teacher, using humour and the occasional command (!!) to keep us going. We were a group of mixed ability and experience and thanks to Kieran, we all left having learned a lot, gained new friends and very keen to book our next adventure! Five stars!

What a fantastic adventure ! - a great mix of physical challenges, new skills learned, epic views , loads of laughs and memories to last a lifetime . Geoff our guide was amazing - so knowledgeable and great fun ! Would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow what a great experience,
The communication, logistics and administration were spot on, our guides were awesome and made the experience. Thanks Kev, Kieran and Emy 👍
Had a great bunch of people on our trip, laughs a plenty
Although the weather conditions were against us at times (what more can you expect in Scotland in Sept 😂) but that just made it more of a challenge.
If you are thinking about doing something similar I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Steve and his team.

An unforgettable adventure with an amazing guide, Marco, and a great group of people. Challenging but so rewarding, can’t wait for the next one 😊

We had an excellent time on the 5 day Scotland canoe trip, it wasn’t easy but it was definitely fun with a great sense of achievement at the end.The guides are absolutely amazing you feel safe and in good hands at all times, we had an amazing group who all worked together and chipped in.Would I do another trip…most definitely.

What a fantastic week, with very experienced guides Chucky and Pete. Make no mistake, this was an epic challenge, paddling on lochs, rivers and the sea but was made easier by having a fantastic group who supported each other throughout. We had all seasons over the four days which added to the adventure. If you are considering booking this trip, then definitely do so, the bigger the challenge, the bigger the reward!

A mind blowing trip! I have to say that I was really excited to go along on this trek to the summit of mount Toubkal, but the whole experience far exceeded my expectations. From beginning to end we were very well taken care of, the food was authentic Moroccan home cooking, with loads of variety and generous portions, and the people that I met along the way were truly spectacular.

The trail is challenging and should not be underestimated, but our guides Mustafa and Hassan were just brilliant. Super friendly guys who enjoyed a bit of bants and were very knowledgeable about the route and points of interest. Not for the faint hearted, but if you're up for the adventure of a lifetime, then these are the guys to take you to the top. I'm already planning my next Skyhook adventure, everyone needs a bit of this in their lives. The locals are so welcoming, and after years of travelling, there is nowhere else like this that I have ever been. Highly, highly recommended.

Yalla Yalla Toubkal! Shukran

What an amazing week hiking in the Alps! Firstly, a big thank you to Tom for joining us up with the group after our flight was cancelled. Everything was so well organised from start to finish.

Every day of the trip brought something different — incredible mountains, beautiful trails and those special moments when you stop, take it all in and appreciate just how lucky you are to be there.

Thank you to our amazing guide Charles, he helped me slow down, connect with the mountains and appreciate them on a much deeper level, adding a sense of meaning that went far beyond simply hiking.

I came away feeling refreshed, inspired and incredibly grateful for the experience. The mountains and memories will stay with me for a long time.

Would highly recommend Alps Adventures and will definitely be booking another trip soon.

Geoff Amazing experience! Geoff was an excellent guide, kept us safe and included all the time and full of knowledge about the area too. Would 100% recommend.

Had my third hike through Skyhook with Alpsadventures! Really happy with the process of booking and hike itself! Very challenging hike in places but well worth the views and experience! It’s quieter route in comparison to Matterhorn or Mont Blanc but not to be missed! Highlight of this trip was hiking up to the summit of Haute Cimi! Thank you to Elodie and Lloyd for your support and encouragement during this trip!

I have recently taken part in gran Paradiso hiking and I can't recommend it enough. Starting for the local guide Marco, amazing leading us through mountains and valleys. The tour is just stunning, every section is different from the previous. The hike is doable but some challenging section which make you push yourself
For me had everything; so definitely recommend it

The guys from Ashante looked after us so well , felt safe and welcome by them . Could find no fault . 5 star
