Skyhook レビュー 701

This is our second trip with skyhook and both have been great will definitely be booking another

The guides were superb - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, encouraging. And Reg was a great cook! The Scottish scenery was stunning and we had a good, supportive group. Sailing across Loch Ness was memorable. I do think you need a reasonable level of fitness to get the most out of this trip.

Wow, what a great trip with a lovely group of guys and gals. Spectacular scenery, well paced and superbly guided. Our advice would to dig deep and reap the rewards of this magnificent part of the world. We loved it but your level of fitness will play a part. We would thoroughly recommend this trip and this company. Go on, go for it …. you won’t be disappointed unless you want an en suite with all the trimmings 😀

Amazing experience. Organisation, accommodation and location fantastic. What’s not to like about getting out of bed in the morning and literally having the fjiords at your feet. Rebecca our guide was brilliant. Experienced, Very knowledgeable about the area, welcoming, engaging and a lot of fun. We were a small group who got on well and laughed a lot! The hike up to Pulpit rock was fantastic. Beautiful 360 degree views. And the kayaking experience was amazing. I would 100% recommend this trip. Thank you Rebecca and Skyhook.

Absolutely incredible weekend from pickup to drop off. So glad I booked this epic challenge and I met some incredible people in my group

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!

Me and my friend , we had an amazing time. Every day, every step and every moment was great. Our guide Min, she was the best, we loved her. Overall well organized and manged trip. 10 out of 5 .Would do it again tomorrow if i could. Arina

Did the 4 day highlights of Mont Blanch with Paul as our guide. It’s been one of the most memorable and well put together experiences I’ve been on from start to finish. Breathtaking scenery, perfect stops for food along the way and friendly comfortable accommodation too with a great group of all ages.
Paul put 110% effort into everything, his knowledge and enthusiasm for the tour was outstanding and his passion for his job made us all feel how much he cared that we had a great adventure. Thanks Paul

The tour was absolutely incredible—truly beyond words. The duration was just right to fully appreciate the beauty of Mont Blanc and the surrounding areas. The hiking trails were wonderfully diverse, offering something new each day. Every detail was handled with precision and met all expectations.

Paul was an outstanding guide—not just leading the way, but genuinely feeling like a friend throughout the journey. He shared insightful explanations and even surprised us with a few unexpected adventures. This is a tour not to be missed!

This was a really fantastic adventure! Our guide Anna was extremely knowledgeable and altered the trip to ensure we got the best of it. It was the perfect mix of adventure activities and down time.
The cabin was twin beds with 1 double room, however it was in a stunning location and the food was well cooked, and a nice mix between of dishes.
The only negative was there was a lot of bread, which I don’t normally eat much of, and there is no shop nearby which meant you need to take everything you want with you to the cabin or campsite.
Other than that I couldn’t fault the trip and feel we had a really magical time!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish everything was 100% brilliant
Transport accommodation guide cannot fault them
Arti was great very welcoming and great in communicating
Thank you for your hospitality

I’ve just returned from the Norwegian Fjord trip and it was an amazing experience. The kayaking, wild camping and hiking were all excellent and our trip was brilliantly guided by Tuure who created a relaxed and friendly environment throughout for everyone
Great memories and friendships developed and I would highly recommend this trip as a way to experience the Norwegian Fjords

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.

If you're considering this trip, don't hesitate, I promise that you won't regret it :)

What an amazing adventure! We had such a great time! Sam, our guide was excellent! Such a lovely, friendly chap who took time to get to know everyone. His cooking and portions were great! Really knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone, even a very wet day did not detract from the fun! Loved it!

Long story short: I Do NOT recommend it.

The longer version:
We were told in the description (and also in the emails) that we would be going at a pace that would allow us to complete the 24-hour challenge — and we trained for that too.

Well, we failed pretty much the whole thing at the beginning, at Ben Nevis. We were nowhere near the advertised pace.
Yes, we know there are always slower people in the groups, BUT we were held back several times. The whole thing was extra slow, very-very far from the original itinerary.
Later, some people turned back at Scafell Pike, so we had a chance to achieve our goal.

The most outrageous thing happened at Snowdon: the guide adjusted the pace to the people who had already dropped out of the challenge (because they didn't achieve the second summit), constantly sending them forward, while constantly holding back those still was in the challenge. We were told constantly, 'we are a team, we do this together'.

Well, as far as I can see - the goal is also in the name of the announced program: to complete the 3 summits in 24 hours. That is why we paid hundreds of £.

Not doing it for 26-27-28 hours, not for doing funny teambuilding event with those who dropped out earlier due to cardio problems. Ridiculous.

Quoted from your page: 'The guide will aim to set a pace which the group can realistically attempt to complete the challenge within 24 hours. This will mean a relatively fast walk with minimal breaks of no more than a few minutes to drink, have a quick snack or catch your breath. If you are well off the pace or struggling, the guide may need to make a call as to whether you can continue the challenge.'

It would be good to decide which policy you'll follow on future trips: 'If you can't keep up, please turn back', or 'Let's walk hand in hand, enjoying ourselves for 97 minutes longer than our itinerary recommends'.

Communication: there is still a lot of room for improvement.

We received a lot of automated emails before and after the tour, but we barely learned anything during the tour.

Receiving a 4 week training plan 2 days before the start, that's a new level of something.

The pick-up in Glasgow was adventurous. Two teams started, but there was no communication at all about it. Couple minutes before the pick-up, I was found myself in two different WA chats... different pick-up times+different places. Not bad, but not good either.

Real-life communication during the tour was pretty much zero: During the challenge, we didn't get any specific answers from the guide (e.g. the schedule of the breaks for the next 5-6 hour bus rides, or which way we climb on Scafell Pike)... the whole thing is frivolous.

It’s a bit disappointing to get multiple generic emails, but not a single follow-up from the guide — even a brief note from Skyhook addressed to our group would have meant a lot.

Final thoughts. Quoting your guide: 'It's not the end of the world if we don't make it.'
Well, maybe not — if you're doing this 7 or 8 times a season.

But for us, this attitude is deeply disappointing. Several of us traveled from abroad to take part. This wasn’t just a two-hour train ride and a casual drop-off at the pub of the station.

We can only hope he enjoyed his beer, since we didn’t get what we came for.

I booked as a solo female traveller and felt very safe throughout the trip. Prior to leaving I had a bunch of questions and the company was so patient answering everything I needed to know. Well.organised, well put together and extremely well run. Would deffo book again without hesitation. What a trip!!

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.

It was a fabulous trip, well managed and led. I would recommend it to all.

Great customer service and communication. Fantastic guides. I'd 100% recommend travelling with Skyhook.

Got to admit, in a world of scams I was dubious.
Everything went as planned. Everyone turned up when they should and we all got to the summit.
Would highly recommend
