I’ve just returned from an amazing hiking week in Madeira.
I travel quite a lot and have been on many different guided trips, but this one was the best so far!
Everything was very well organised, from the choice of hikes to the accommodation, which was located right in the centre of the Old Town. This allowed us to explore the local cuisine, bars, and seaside promenade after each hike.
The local guides, Andrea and Lara, were absolutely fantastic and did their best to accommodate all our wishes. We were all picked up from the airport at different times shortly after our arrivals, and the same excellent service was provided for the return transfers.
Every small detail had been carefully thought through and arranged with great attention.
It was the most fun group I’ve ever travelled with — people from all around the world, speaking six languages between us,!
Not to mention that the price of the trip was very competitive. I will definitely come back for another trip!

Just back from a hiking trip in Madeira with Trailmates – overall a brilliant experience. Pre-trip communication was great, and the accommodation, transfers, and logistics all ran smoothly.

The hikes were fantastic, with details shared the night before and a good mix of terrain and scenery. Even with the inconsistent weather, the schedule was adjusted well and you could tell they were trying to maximise the experience.

The only thing I'd flag is that our local guide wasn't always clear with the group around route changes, causing some confusion on a couple of days — though Garry was very receptive when I raised it.

It was brilliant meeting people from all over who share the same passion for hiking and travel, and that mix of like-minded people is part of what made the trip so memorable. Will definitely book again!

I had an amazing time on the Trailmates trip to Madeira! The trip was incredibly well organised, with all info being communicated ahead of time via email and a Whatsapp for the group, and info on each hike shared throughout the trip. The weather wasn't the best when we were there but the Trailmates team adjusted the itinerary throughout the week to ensure we still got a range of hikes and the best of the weather. It was also nice staying in a set location for the week and getting to know the local area, and try and test lots of local bars and restaurants.

One of the biggest highlights for me was the group. It was so great being able to meet so many outgoing people who love hiking and share the experience with them, and I think Trailmates definitely brings likeminded people together in that sense. I can't wait to book my next trip!

I travelled in Oman in January 2026 and had an amazing experience from start to finish. It was my first hiking holiday, and I would definitely do it again. Garry was an excellent organiser: always attentive to feedback, highly organised, and flexible whenever possible.

The hikes were beautiful and offered incredible landscapes every day, while the local guides made us always feel safe and well supported. The accommodation was very comfortable, with friendly staff and great locations.

What made the trip even more special was the group atmosphere — we bonded so well that we spent even more time together beyond the planned activities. The programme was very thoughtfully designed, with a good balance between challenge, rest, safety, and inclusiveness. Communication, transfers, and logistics were all seamless.

I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable hiking adventure in Oman.

I joined a hiking trip with Trailmates Adventures for Sardinia trip and had a great experience. The trip was well-organized, and the guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the hike. The scenery was beautiful, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. I’d definitely join another trip with them in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys outdoor adventures.

I had such an amazing experience on this Sardinia trip with Trailmates Adventures. Everything was so well organized, from the activities to the overall vibe of the group—it really made the whole holiday feel effortless and enjoyable.

Garry was a fantastic host throughout the trip. He created a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for everyone to connect and feel included. You can tell he genuinely cares about giving people a great experience, and it shows in all the little details.

Sardinia itself was absolutely beautiful, and the mix of adventure, social time, and exploring made it the perfect balance. I came back not only with great memories but also having met some wonderful people.

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a fun, well-organized group holiday—and I’d happily join another one in the future!

Our trip to Madeira was amazing. Trailmates Group organized a wonderful hike. This was our first group tour and our first hike ever, and now we'll definitely be going on more with this company. Firstly, the price was reasonable and the quality matched our expectations. Secondly, the tour was the perfect difficulty level and suitable for travelers of all fitness levels. The idea of ​​traveling just for the hike was the most important thing for us, as we wanted to fully enjoy the hiking and nature. I'd also like to point out that Harry was always available, which gave us a sense of security. A huge thank you to our guide, Paolo – he's very friendly, has a clear itinerary, and does his job 100%. The other members of our group are wonderful, engaging people. We're so glad we met them, and they'll remain etched in our memories. Thank you, Trailmates, for Madeira, and we'll see you soon!

I cannot recommend Trailmates Adventures enough! From my very first inquiry, Garry was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly quick to respond to all my questions. It was truly a trip of a lifetime, and will definitely be booking my next holiday with them

Things I loved:
- Amazing group.
- Super roommate.
- Nice, basic and clean apartment (with kitchen so you could prepare all meals if you want to).
- Madeira has some incredible food everywhere to try!
- Madeira also has so many shops and supermarkets if there’s anything you need or forgot to pack, you can get it!
- On some hikes with unique vegetation our guide would explain it.
- Some hikes included a stop by somewhere we could try something like local rum.
- Guide sometimes bought a local snack we could try.
- Well chosen hikes with amazing views and rearrangements are made if weather is too poor for some areas.
- Smooth airport transfers.
- Tips on things to do in Madeira during free time.
- Help with organising accommodation before or after your trip if needed.

Things to know / could be improved:
- Clearer information on how check-in works.
- Be cautious about booking if you’re not an experienced hiker. I exercise several times a week and have hiked before including challenging routes but not frequently. As a result, on the most challenging route for much of it I hiked alone at the back at a pace comfortable for me but didn’t always have sufficient time to pause and felt rushed to move on (contextually, I was trying to not trigger previous hiking injury but prior to this I had always been slow going uphill anyway).
- Know that most (not all) of the ‘alternative options’ are actually you just sitting on the bus (as there may not be anything nearby to do in rural places) waiting either at the start or end of the hike which could be hours. One time, I found understanding when was the point I would be able to get on the bus was not explained well when I specifically asked about it which caused stress for me.
- The above said, I did communicate to Gary how I felt after that specific day leading to some improvements including extra check-ins and info from local contact Niki.

Overall, I would recommend Trailmates and think this trip is great value but it’s best to know some things before you book.

Ive just had the most amazing week with Trail mates adventures.Its my first time doing a solo trip and it was so smooth from start to finish. Garry was just amazing and answered all my questions promptly and with care. The hikes were first class and our hike leader Paolo was a gem. I loved the group and my roommate was so lovely. What an amazing experience. I will definitely go again with this company.

Absolutely loved my first trip to Morocco through Trailmates Adventures. I’ve looked into other solo traveller group tours before but none ever ticked all the boxes until now. The entire trip felt like a hiking holiday with like minded friends - fun and interesting. Some friendships will last a long time, and some just shared moments. Great itinerary, well planned out, and adaptable depending on fitness levels. Communication was really good and straightforward, from both the organisers and the trustworthy local guides.
Overall it was an incredible experience that exceeded expectations, and I am looking forward to booking my next trip. If you feel hesitant of travelling/hiking solo then Trailmates is for you!

It was a great vacation and everything went smoothly.

Ik heb een hele leuke week in de Atlas in Marokko gehad met trailmates. Ik vond de hikes heel divers. Het hotel was fijn en de groep was echt super. Het is tof dat je in een internationale groep reist. Dat maakt de gesprekken extra interessant vind ik.
Wat ik ook echt een plus vind, is dat je vertrekt vanuit dezelfde plek. Dus mocht je een keer niet mee willen/ kunnen dan is dat geen probleem. Plus je komt in een soort “thuis” terug.
Ik ga zeker nog eens met deze organisatie op pad :-)

I really enjoyed my trip to Morocco! I also really enjoyed learning about Moroccan traditions from Rachid😁

I went on the March 2026 trip to Madeira with Trailmates and loved every second of it, the organisation was amazing, and Paulo the guide and Miquel the driver were so friendly and great at what they do. Our group had an amazing bond with each other, it was my first ever solo trip and the whole experience made me learn so much about myself, I’d highly recommend Trailmates to anyone!

Hiking Madeira with trailmatesadventures was an unforgetable experience. The island is an outdoors heaven for nature enthusiasts and hiking lovers, having had the chance to enjoy Madeira with trailmatesadventures meant brain was switched off not having to do with any organising bits, everything was thoughtfully planned, from airport pickup with Niki welcoming us with a bright smile and ready to answer all our questions and help out. Also, they made sure we did have some comfort to ease into the hikes with the morning stop for great coffee and fuel for the day. Paulo was our guide and was leading the group with a lot of good energy and made sure everyone had their adventure wishes fullfilled at their own pace. Accomodation was in the heart of the old town, what else could one ask for?!
As a bonus, the fellow hikers I've met were such an amazing bunch of people, hiking alongside the group was awesome. 100% recommend trailmatesadventures!

I went to Madeira with Trailmateadventure. It was such a great experience. I did enjoyed the challenge of the hike rewarded by spectacular views. The guide was really expert and nice. The local representative Niky was awesome. Everything was very well organised. I do recommend this trip !

I went for a trip to Georgia in September 2025 and it was really nice experience. Our group of people was a nice match, we had a lot of fun also with local people we met! :) Georgia's mountains were very beautiful :) hikes were quite relaxed and chill

I enjoyed the hiking trip to Oman even more than I expected! Good planning, good accommodation, amazing landscapes, very cool hikes and canyoning!

My trip to Oman was a great mixture of challenging hiking and rewarding scenery. It was really awesome to experience a new country this way and with a lovely group of people. Big thanks to Trailmates Adventures and to Rawnaq Travel Oman for the organization and activities!
