The trip to Oman was amazing. Beautiful landscapes and wonderful people. I loved every moment

I’ve just come back from the most incredible hiking trip to Oman with Trailmates Adventures, and I can honestly say it was the trip of a lifetime. I feel so privileged to have spent time in this amazing country. Oman is beautiful, and the people are so kind and welcoming. It completely exceeded every expectation I had.

We stayed in Al Hamra, which felt like a little oasis set among the dry, rocky landscape. Surrounded by mountains and endless earthy tones, it was such a special place to be based. The guest house was lovely. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was powerful and properly hot, which was perfect after long days out exploring.

The hiking was out of this world. Exploring the Al Hajar Mountains was unforgettable, but my favourite days were in Wadi Ghul and Snake Canyon. I genuinely do not have the words to describe how absolutely stunning the canyons, mountains and landscapes of Oman are. The scale of it all is hard to take in, and every time you turned a corner there was another view that just stopped you in your tracks.

Snake Canyon was especially memorable because of the canyoning. It was so much fun. Scrambling over rocks, squeezing through narrow sections and moving through the water made it feel like a proper adventure. It was challenging at times but in a way that made it even more rewarding.

There was quite a bit of off roading in jeeps to reach some of the more remote areas, which added to the sense of adventure. It was great fun and the guides were really safe drivers, so you could just enjoy the ride and the scenery without worrying.

The guides on the hikes were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, kind and friendly, and they clearly cared about keeping everyone safe. I always felt well looked after and supported, and they shared so much insight about the landscape and local culture along the way.

Oman is such a special country. The scenery is breathtaking, the people are warm and welcoming, and the whole experience felt authentic and unspoilt. You will not regret going on this trip. It really is the trip of a lifetime, and I feel incredibly lucky to have experienced it.

I can not describe in words what a wonderful week I had in Montenegro! Thank you for the great organisation from the first moment till the last! The group has been so lovely, we had great fun every day. Vera, our guide was truly amazing! She is a gem with her experience and kind nature.
Thanks again for the experience, and I am looking forward to Madeira next year!

The trip to Madeira was well organized, and our guide Paulo knew all the ins and outs of the walking routes. The free day gives you the opportunity to choose something of your own liking, whether you go hiking again or have a more relaxed day. The communication prior to and during the trip was top notch as well. I always knew what to expect. I would definitely recommend!

I chose Trail mates adventures for Montenegro in May 2025. It was short period decision literally a week before the trip. Gary was available on Whatsapp and was quick to respond. Everything was arranged including the airport drops. It was relief to not think about where to meet your group especially when you don't have time to plan.

Montenegro is stunning and beautiful. Gary and his wife accompanied us throughout the trip. The local guide Mirko was a wonderful person too. The accommodation was in a quite village and well equipped.

I am looking forward to travel more with my them. I am in my late 30's and have good enough experience in trekking and this trip was an absolute delight for me.

Das neue Jahr begann für mich mit einem Abenteuer in einer großartigen Gemeinschaft im Oman. Die eigenständige Anreise ermöglichte es, vorab noch ein paar Tage in der Hauptstadt beim Schnorcheln mit Schildkröten, Shoppen im Souk oder beim Kaffee mit Mitreisenden zu verbringen. Das Hotel in den Bergen war sehr authentisch und die Wanderungen in einer atemberaubenden Natur. Aber wir haben nicht nur die Berge gesehen, sondern auch authentisches Essen und omanische Gastfreundlichkeit kennengelernt. Eine tolle Reise!

I had an amazing hiking trip with trail mates in May 2025. I was incredibly nervous as it was my first proper hiking trip and first ever solo trip, but Garry was great and on hand via what’s app from the get go with any questions and updates.

The trip I went on was to Montenegro which was absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide was a local man who had great energy and was very supportive and made me feel safe when I was nervous at some of the more challenging parts of the hikes.

It was great to meet a group of people from all over who were all so kind and keen to get stuck in. There was no pressure to do anything you didn’t want to do!

I would recommend trail mates to anyone who is keen to go exploring in a group setting full of like minded people. I’m a woman in my early 30’s and found the whole experience fun and stress free!

I joined the Oman trip early January and it was an unforgettable experience: A group of 10 like-minded people from various backgrounds, amazing organization, great guides, perfect accommodation (freshly brewed coffee early morning to late evening 😀), and absolutely stunning scenery. I enjoyed the technical trails and appreciated the flexibility to accommodate to all levels. I will certainly be back for some of the more exotic destinations!

I joined the Oman hiking trip and it was a great experience! The program was well structured, with an amazing international group with a good age mix. The accommodation felt very authentic and each day offered different landscapes and nature, so every hike felt unique. It was my first trip with Trailmates and I can highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this experience and tour. The hikes were beautiful and there were options for slightly easier alternatives on the ‘challenging’ hiking days which I really appreciated. The other people on the tour were lovely and everyone was very supportive of each other. We finished off the evenings having group dinners in the local town. I would recommend this trip.

Just returned from a great week in Oman! It was one of the few really authentic trips which I made, and the first with Trailmatesadventures. I liked the mixed group (32-62 yrs) of inspiring people. The whole trip was well organized, but with enough room for flexibility (e.g. alternative hikes, activities). I’ve never joined any group trips before, but this was very relaxed just having to book the trip and flight (and seeing various highlights without having to do the research).

I really enjoyed the trip to Madeira, despite the unusual weather and unexpected flight cancellations. The hikes were great (our guide Paulo just amazing), and the orga on the island was excellent. I didn’t have to worry about anything. Exactly what I wanted for this trip.

I very much enjoyed the hikes in beautiful Madeira. The company was excellent, and our guide André was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the week.

If I had to point to anything that could be improved it'd be at the arrival at the apartments; it wasn't clear where luggage could be safely stored until check-in, so we needed to improvise a bit at that point. Also, the lock in the apartment door wasn't in the best condition.

However, these very minor issues don't really subtract from what was overall a superb experience!

Had a fantastic time in Madeira, a really nice mix of hikes to see different parts of the island and the organisation was brilliant, loved it!

My experience definitely corresponds to Trailmates Adventures' description that it is more than just reaching the summit. I joined the Scotland trip. It's been a wonderful experience, group and hike-wise. The guides were very flexible, adapting the programme to our level of fitness, interests and weather. We had a hike where we split into two groups. Those who were up to a more challenging longer variant were able to have that experience and those who preferred to hike, doing a lighter version, had the opportunity to do so, with the rest of the time being well spent seeing some additional sights. We had a briefing moment everyday, so it was always clear and in many points a joint decision on the plan for the next day. I have many food intolerances and was able to manage this with no problem at all. There's always information available, Garry is always available to provide information, be it in relation to travelling, technical questions or additional sightseeing. There was plenty of time to be with the group, but also opportunity for some alone time. Definitely recommended!

Everything went really well during the hike in Madeira, I really recommend it.

It was honestly fantastic and the little additions like the meal with the driver and the local film at cinema Dede really added to the experience. Plus I was so lucky to have such a great group to share the experience with. I'd definitely look at another tour with Trailmates.

I wanted to review your trip as my first experience of group travelling, it had been an incredible experience from start to finish, it was so well organised at every step with support provided when required.

It was so nice to be in a group of like minded people making new connections even sharing accommodation which I was sceptical about in the beginning, but was totally comfortable from the start.

Our guide Vera was incredible sharing so much information on the area always with a huge smile and encouragement when needed. As well as going the extra mile to help people organise out other activities outside of hiking such as spa treatments and water activities.

The hikes themselves were incredible with stunning diverse scenery. Watching wildlife such as mountain goats was a personal highlight. The hikes were challenging with some small technical sections which made it more enjoyable.

I would highly recommend this experience.

Thank you
