A great combined cultural, trekking and wildlife spotting adventure
Trek Madagascar, The Land of the Lemur

This trip has something of everything - trekking, cultural immersion, wildlife spotting. The chameleons are amazing and lemurs are a lot of fun to see, and occasionally they come very close to you. Be prepared with the camera at all times that you're in the jungle! The food can be a bit heavy if you're not used to eating as much rice as the Malagasy do. Be sure to try out the hot sauce at every restaurant - they all make their own and they are each unique (and VERY hot).

First time for both Nepal and KE and will go again
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
This was my first trip with KE and first time to Nepal. Both exceeded my expectations. From a KE perspective all the bookings were done well including transfers from airport where I was met by our tour leader even though I arrived a few days early. The descriptions in the itinerary were all accurate and went as planned. The accommodation on the walk was basic but that is all there is, and it was more than adequate. The food was also good, in the huts there is a limited selection but there was a choice and most of it was freshly prepared using the ingredients that were available (including veg from the local gardens). The walk was well paced to allow everyone time to acclimatise. I chose this trip as it seemed to be a good 'starter' trek and it was. There is a lot of up and down but the pace made it fine for all. I would suggest that anyone doing this really get some hills beforehand to make it more enjoyable, it is 10 days of consecutive walking so good fitness helps. The 5 in our group were supported by 7 Nepalis who took care of all our needs. It was very well organised, from the internal flight to Pokhara to arranging our choice of meals. Cannot say enough how much their efforts contributed to the enjoyment of the trip. Will certainly look to use KE again in the future.

Fantastic Trek
Ecuador's Triple Crown

The Triple Crown trek was fantastic. Diago and his team were incredible and bent over backwards to make it an enjoyable and achievable experience for all of us. Reaching the summit of Chayambe was hard work but Julio was an excellent guide and really spurred me on to the top. I had unfortunate problems with altitude so the Campus team helped me organise a 3 day cloud forest visit rather than climbing the last two mountains. All in all an amazing trip which I would certainly recommend.

Stunning scenery with wonderful guide
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Stunning scenery especially when higher up.Annapurna region has to be the most beautiful. A lot of ascent and descent. Milan, our guide , was excellent, pacing the trek perfectly according to our individual and group needs.He cared and arranged everything tirelessly. A credit for KE to have him as their representative.The helpers were a cheerful lot and did an amazing job.Cold at ABC at night. Need warm gloves!Pack as light as possible for the porters sake. Tech gear is good. Do not need so much . Food plain and basic but fine. Bring tea bags if you want strong tea. Highly recommend apart from unnecessary first night in Kathmandu.

An awesome, well organised and diverse family holiday
Thailand Bamboo and Buddhas Family Adventure
We were very fortunate to be hosted by our guide 'Jeff' who we commend highly for his considered, careful and professional approach - enabling us to have a first class set of experiences. The holiday itinerary was excellent - balancing physical activity with cultural experiences that were unforgettable. It also balanced nice accommodation with tougher accommodation type which made the harder stuff easier to tolerate and made the easy stuff very much appreciated..... This tour created a tremendous set of memories for us as a family with three teenaged sons who all found something of interest to do and see each day. The food in Thailand was amazing - with Jeff knowing the best places to eat at - all very economical, exotic and varied. Catering for all tastes. We avoided the buffet options and stayed healthy throughout the holiday. The homestay was excellent - interesting and eye-opening. Would highly recommend this part of the trip. The trekking was physically tough because of the heat and the hills..... but worth it for the views, scenary and wildlife. What a trip - soul-food.....Thank you KE once more you have excelled at making our precious holiday an adventure.

Stunning views and fun hiking.
Reunion Island Paradise

This was a really well planned trip with a lot of point to point walking so that you feel like you're really travelling through the beautiful island. There are some really striking views of the live volcano, the interior cirques and some beautiful beaches. Our guide, Claire, was very knowledgeable about the routes we were taking, the history of the island, the flora and fauna and the geology making this a very rewarding trip. Just watch out for the humidity and the intense tropical showers!

A Wild Thyme in Jordan
Jordan's Wadi Rum and Petra

Marvellous scenery in Wadi Rum, with some very enjoyable climbs and walks through the rocks. The routes included some very narrow crevices, very tight! No need for poles (they stayed in my bag all week). Quite chilly in the evening. We had one wild night with the tent needing repitching at 3am. Our guide (Nader) was very knowledgable about Petra and his descriptions filled in many blanks. We found thyme growing wild and when added to the sweet tea it made a refreshing drink.

enjoy winter warmth and sun!
Winter Sunshine Walking in the Jebel Sahro - Morocco
I had a heck of a time. It was good to get sun and warmth in winter. The Kasbah we stayed at after finishing the hike was absolutely fabulous! I think it was Kasbah Tizzarouine. The hike itself was moderate. If there were no villages or people along the way, the mountains would have been unremarkable. But I love seeing traditional villages, going back in a time machine. That's what made the trip what it was. We didn't see any other hikers or tourists once we started the hike. It was li ke we had a special invite from the Berbers. Good group of people. One bad apple can ruin it for all.

Superb trek, tough and well worth the effort.
Guatemala's Magnificent Seven
Guatemala = Incredible Guides = Superb Scenery = Beautiful Volcanoes = Awesome, especially Feugo Camp Sites = Perfect Food = Wow, at camp sites and restaurants Lake Atitlan/San Pedro = Enjoy :-) Value for Money = Worth every penny, an incredible deal. Everything about this trip was top shelf, the guides Luis & Josh became friends almost overnight, they were a major part of what made the trip so incredible. I have had three trips with KE and all adventures have been professional, well lai d out & tough, this one hits the top of the list thus far. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger, "Ill be back" Best, John

A great holiday for a variety of environments I.e. city , valley and mountains
Mount Toubkal in Winter
Great holiday which gives a flavour of Marrakech with half a day at each end of the trek , two days trekking in the picturesque Imlil valley which is covered in cherry and walnuts trees. The acclimatisation walk in the valley takes you through several villages with interesting information about village life provided by the guides. However, highlight was the two days spent in the high Atlas Mountains including the climb of Mount Toubkal with spectacular views of the area. The guides were excellen t setting an appropriate pace for the group which meant we all completed the climb of Mount Toubkal.

Very enjoyable desert experience. Spectacular drive over the Atlas Mountains
Edge of the Sahara Trek

Great trip with exciting drive over the mountains on the way there and back. Four days of desert sand dunes was enough though. Wear high ankle boots so the sand does not get in. Gaiters a good idea but not on the kit list. Spectacular sun sets as well

fantastic walking experience
Walking Undiscovered Tenerife and Pico Teide
Superbly organised from start to finish. Local guides, Cao and Aaron from Anaga Experience are the most welcoming , informative and entertaining I have met. Hiking days are full and require sure footing but enjoyable for all regular hikers. Plenty of time to enjoy and photograph. The highlight of the trip conquers El Teidi Volcano with superb views above the cloud of the caldera itself and neighbouring Canary Islands. Trip is fantastic for geology, diverse and endemic botany, stunning scenery,lo vely local food and wine (all included). Accommodation modest but nice in all locations. Best time for flowers probably April- May. I went in April, daily temperatures average app. 25 lower down and chilly in the mountains, needing fleece level clothing in the mornings. Bring a swim costume, the sea was a welcome relief on 2/3 occasions. Little extra money only for tips, extra drinking, shops (really only chance would be on the last day in Santa Cruz). Bring a camera, this island will surprise and charm you. Great small group size of 12 people of whom you are likely to have something in common. In summary.... awesome!

Amazing Oman
Oman Adventure Trekking
Always good to escape the Scottish winter for a while but this trip to Oman was just the ticket. Interesting and varied walking, swimming opportunities, good food, time to explore Muscat & Nizwa and wall to wall sunshine - what more could you want. Very well looked after by our guide Hanna and his team. While the walking is not difficult, the heat & rocky terrain make it a bit harder than it looks on paper so best to read the trip notes. The final day swimming to the caves at Wad i Shab was spectacular and so much fun - not to be missed.

Overall, the best hike to do on both sides of Patagonia
Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit
We were pleased that we choose end of March to do the circuit. The weather was more stable and the less hikers were on the trails. Our trip leaders Dani and Francisco were terrific: local, very knowledgeable and fun. Overall, they ran close to a perfect trip. Ecocamp is well run and a good alternative if you do not want to carry your tent and food. If time is not a factor, the circuit is the only trip to do to fully experience the different ecosystems within Patagonia. It is also very rewarding to climb the pass and experience the view of the Patagonia Icefields. Spectacular vista view although not guaranteed. tip: we arrived early and took the bus to El Chalten and hiked around by ourselves. El Chalten is a much nicer town than El Calafate to get the local experience of living in Argentina Patagonia. 5days would work well to allow you to choose the hikes depending on the weather. You can reserve your bus ticket online at Chalten Travel. hint: Be aware that KE does not do a "group transfer" as stated in their trip summary. They only provide a group transfer if you book your airfare directly with them ( which was only one person in our group). You can get a taxi to and from the hotel cheaper independently than booking directly with KE. Bring good rain gear and hiking sticks.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review and we are pleased that you had such an excellent adventure. We provide a single, timed group transfer from the airport to the hotel, but anyone may use this transfer regardless of whether they book their flights through KE. Group transfers help to keep the price of the holiday down for everyone and, as you mention, it is relatively easy to arrange a taxi if the group transfer timing does not work for a particular flight arrival.

Wow! - fantastic and very different trekking holiday
Guatemala's Magnificent Seven
Great holiday, great accommodation and food much better than expected. Guides Joshua and Louis are fantastic and really make holiday. Hotels are spotless and full of character and going out to different restaurants for meals was great idea (only pay for drinks). Camp sites are in great locations and well organised. Places visited were amazing and the views seen are truely awesome (won't say any more as don't want to spoil your anticipation). The following is not meant to be negative or to put you off a fabulous holiday but: note that this is tough walking - volcanoes are steep! The 1,200 m of assent is much tougher than walking in the Lakes or Scotland - the height is often gained in less than 3km - add to that the heat and altitude and on occasion loose shale underfoot. That said the trip is broken up well with hard days followed by easier days. You do need warm gear for evening and morning camps. If you are fit, go - you will not be disappointed.

Unique walking experience
Red Hot Chile Trekkers - The Atacama Desert
Our Chilean trek was a wonderful experience. Our guide Yasu was well organised and very knowledgeable on all aspects of the area. The Atacama Desert has a very unique feel to it. Most of the trip involves magnificent day walks through hidden valleys all whilst preparing you for your ascent of Licancabur Volcano, a challenging seven to eight hour climb to approx. 6000mt. Its a cold climb in the early morning so be prepared with warm gear. The preparation walks gets more challenging as the final a scent day draws near. Don't worry if you find these days quite exhausting as the whole week is slowly building up your chances of making to the top on the last day. The weather can be hot days and cold nights. You will need warm gear! Also a good sturdy set of ankle high walking boots as for most of the week and especially in Bolivia the footing is loose stone and the chances of a sideways spill is a possibility. One down side was a couple of poor choices for campsites which was a little disappointing given the abundance of magnificent campsite opportunities, however with early nights and an early start this was only a minor complaint I would recommend this trek.

The worst accommodations we have ever experienced as a couple in 35 years
The Grand Tour of Morocco - Private Morris
The days activities and the route were excellent. The guides were good, knowledgeable and resourceful and there were no missteps of any sort. The hotels were uniformly very poor, dirty with poor toilet and shower facilities. In some cases, that was probably due to the remoteness of the locations but, in some cases, there were evidently better hotels available and should have been used. This was particularly true in Fes. The breakfasts and dinners at the hotels was also poor. The lunches prepared by our guides, which was fresh was much better quality. If you use these accommodations again, you should tell the users that they are of a very low calibre commensurate with the cost and they should bring cleaning materials and liners with them for daily use.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. It is good to read that you thought the days’ activities and the route were excellent and that you found your guides to be knowledgeable and resourceful.  We are surprised at your feedback for the hotels and food as we normally receive entirely satisfactory reviews for these particular establishments and we will certainly look into why your experience was different to the norm.

Top Marks for : The Location - The Guide - The Walking - The Group - The Weather
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries
Two months ago I had never heard of either La Gomera or KE Adventure, so it was with a little trepidation that I booked this holiday. The title La Gomera -Jewel of the Canaries says it all, the week was faultless. There were so many positives: the variety of the walks, the accuracy (in my opinion) of the grading as a five, the quality and variety of both the meals and the accommodation, the banter between the group and the fact that the weather happened to be perfect all helped to make it such a n enjoyable week. The one outstanding feature among so many positives was our guide Enekoiz. Points that deserve mention were the calm approach he has to his work, the high level of interest in his job, the passion he has for La Gomera, his willingness to accomodate people, his command of English and his multi facteted personality all make him a great ambassador for this wonderful island that I hope to return to soon. P.S. By the way I'm not always this positive when I write a review!
