Skyhook Arvostelua 723

Excellent adventure on the Machame route to summit Kilimanjaro, well organised and led by Seb and Jackson from Ahsante tours.
Every aspect of this adventure, from planning and booking, to assistance with visa applications, and continued liaison
until we got to the trek was excellent.

We had leaders Seb and Jackson, along Peter, Cowboy, Pascal, Calvin, Mike, Suliman, Leonard, Bryson, Manuel, Joseph, and Pasat 🇹🇿 ⛰️
This team made our adventure!

I can't recommend this trip enough. A memory for a lifetime.

Recommendations for people considering this. Take up the portable toilet option; we had it, at the camps it was a life saver when you consider the on site facilities, and your possible distance from them at night! Gloves! The summit trek is freezing, make sure you have suitable gloves and a headtorch.

A superb development course all thanks to our great instructor Ben. Hopefully I'll be back for the advanced course once I've put these valuable skills into practice

I’d never been snowshoeing before but I came across it as an activity on skyhook and thought it looked fun!
I’m so pleased I signed up, our guide Tom was fun and knowledgeable and made the activity easy to pick up. The accommodation and food were fantastic and the Swiss Mountain scenery was incredible!

I booked through Skyhook (I like the name!) and I was not disappointed - good straightforward organisation which made it simple for the clients. Skyhook and their local agent Atlas Vertical sorted all the logistics and food on the hill and made life very easy so we just walked and enjoyed the adventure. Our guide, Lagcen from Atlas Vertical, was steady and adapted the pace to suit the terrain, made sure we were well fed on our journey and looked after us extremely well.

Have booked a few trips with Skyhook, the Gran Paradiso circuit trek being the last one which was pretty epic. Great value and great guides.

Loved every minute beautiful views great trainers and experience never to forget.

Our guide tom was very friendly, knowledgeable and organized. Pick up and drop off was easy. The guesthouse Villa Linda was brilliant. Lovely large rooms with good facilities, amazing food, hosts that couldn't do enough. Really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna in the back garden. The hikes were local so not much travel time. The scenery was stunning in the snow. Tom was very knowledgeable about the area and history -sharing this with the group at points throughout the trek. The thermal baths were a great end to the day easing the aching legs and back for myself.
Would have loved a longer trip
Highly recommended

This is was my first experience for ice climbing and went so great we were so lucky to have Ben who is a great guide provided us with tips and tricks about ice climbing.

Despite the limitee snow and ice currently in Oslo with all the credit goes to climate change, we managed to to climbing for two days in the same site which was wonderful.

Can't wait to book another trip with skyhook perhaps a 15 days camp in everest 😊🤞

The kit and tuition was top notch. I enjoyed the experience with my son. Memories we will treasure forever!

Not Recommended – Beware of Skyhook Adventures
In detail:
I do not recommend this agency. I had positive experiences on my first three trips with them, so I booked another adventure to summit Mount Aconcagua and paid the initial deposit.

After my first meeting and reading more reviews online, I realized many people had negative experiences with this local company in Argentina summit company, so I decided to cancel my summit trip and planned with another company. That’s when the real issue arose: the €500 I paid is non-refundable and can only be used as credit for future trips.

The credit system is extremely restrictive. For example, I’m now booking another trip that costs almost €600, but I can only apply €77 of my credit to it. You are essentially stuck with them, unable to fully use what you’ve already paid.

It’s frustrating because this company seems more interested in squeezing money from customers than providing honest, ethical, and purpose-driven services.

If you’re considering booking with Skyhook Adventures, please be careful. Read reviews thoroughly and only proceed if you are willing to accept last-minute, restrictive policies.

Fantastic experience, very well prepared and organised. The two guides were excellent throughout the whole event, nothing was too much trouble fir them and the advice and guidance invaluable.

My 15-day trek to Everest Base Camp was truly the trip of a lifetime, made even more special by the incredible team who guided, supported, and cared for us every step of the way.

First, a huge thank-you to our lead guide, Rinji Purba Sherpa. Rinji was exceptional in every sense—knowledgeable, smart, calm, and genuinely kind-hearted. His deep understanding of the Himalayas, the mountains, the culture, and every detail of the trail made us feel safe, inspired, and constantly learning. He knew exactly how to pace the trek, how to motivate us, and how to handle every moment with professionalism and warmth. I could not have asked for a better leader; Rinji was truly the heart of this journey.

Our assistant guide, Roshan Rai, was equally amazing—hardworking, dedicated, and always ready to help. Whether it was assisting us on difficult sections, checking on our health, or making sure we were comfortable, Roshan was always there with a smile and a reassuring attitude. His effort and energy made a huge difference.

We were also supported by a wonderful team: Suman, Bishnu Lal, and Rastya. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes, carrying our loads, preparing things ahead of our arrival, and making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Their positivity and strength were truly inspiring.

Thanks to this entire team, the journey to Everest Base Camp was beautiful, emotional, and unforgettable. The route itself was stunning—snow-capped peaks, ancient Sherpa villages, prayer flags, peaceful forests, and breathtaking views at every turn. But what made the trip truly special was how the team made us feel: safe, cared for, comfortable, and treated like family.

This was not just a trek—it was an experience filled with warmth, friendship, and memories that I will carry for the rest of my life.

I strongly recommend Rinji Purba Sherpa, Roshan Rai, and the entire support team of skyhook. If you want a life-changing EBC experience, this is the team to go with.

We just completed our 15-day Everest Base Camp trek (Nov 14–28), and it has truly been a trip of a lifetime. I grew up in Nepal and now live in the U.S., and seeing Everest up close has always been a dream. But this journey became so much more than just reaching Base Camp. The breathtaking landscapes, snowy mountain passes, beautiful Sherpa villages, and rich culture made every single day unforgettable.

A huge thank you to our guide Rinji Purba Sherpa, an incredibly kind human being—professional, knowledgeable, and deeply connected to the mountains. He knew the trails, villages, wildlife, geography, flora, and fauna in remarkable detail. He paid individual attention to each of us and made sure everyone was doing well throughout the trek.

Our second guide, Roshan Rai, kept us on track, ensured we stayed hydrated, gave us timely breaks, and always looked out for our safety—especially around mules and yaks on narrow trails.

A special shoutout to Raste Tamang, Bishnu Lal Tamang, and Suman Tamang, the true backbone of this trip. Their support, strength, and positivity made everything possible.

This journey was not just about the high mountains—it was also about the incredible people of the Khumbu region, who have left a lasting impression on us. We will definitely be booking our next adventure with Skyhook.

The EBC trek was genuinely the experience of a lifetime, from the staggering Himalayan landscapes to the warmth of the Nepali people and their rich culture. I thought I was coming just to reach Everest Base Camp, but I fell in love with countless other peaks, valleys, and places I had never even heard of before. This experience would never have been as magical without our outstanding guiding and supporting team.

Our lead guide, Rinji Furba Sherpa, is a remarkably kind and positive-minded person who knows every mountain, trail, piece of fauna and flora in the Himalayas—truly a walking encyclopedia in the best possible sense. He briefed us in detail before every trek, advised us wisely throughout the journey, and introduced us with pride and passion to the colourful Sherpa culture.

Our assistant guide, Rosan Rai, was making sure we were safe, hydrated, and motivated. He guided us with the agility of a mountain goat and a smile that never faded, even on the toughest ascents.

And our supporting staff—Raste Tamang, Bishnu Tamang, and Suman Tamang—played an enormous role in making this journey what it was. Their professionalism, kindness, and constant optimism made us feel supported, safe, and inspired every single day.

I’m genuinely grateful to them—not just for helping us reach a milestone, but for making the entire adventure meaningful, joyful, and truly unforgettable.

Such a fun experience with a mega group of people! Our guides were superb and always had a smile on their faces! Food was excellent, trek was excellent, facilities in the lodge and the refuge were excellent!

All in all a great trip!

Great 4 days on the trail, wonderful views, great guide and lovely bunch of people.

I completed the trip in Oct 2025, The trip over all was amazing, the guides were great, thank you all so much for looking after us and the food from the cooks was amazing, never eaten so much on a hike like this. I loved meeting the rest of the guys on the trip and hopefully we will keep in touch. what a great bunch of people. The Hike up to the Base Camp was nice and steady, giving us plenty of time to talk and get to know each other, the Base camp it self was very busy but the guides sort everything out and keep us feed and watered well. The night before the walk was interesting, sharing a bunk room with about 30 people, we was up at 2:45 so it made it interesting to try and get ready quietly. my only moan about the whole trip was the ladders getting up to the top bunks, not great!. Set of for the summit at 3:15am, great to feel so close to the stars and kept company by the dog. its was great to be at the top in time for the sun rise, even thou it was very busy. then the descent, back to base camp for lunch and sort out kit for the mules, then the long walk back to Imlil, anyone doing this trip with just the 1 night stay at base camp be ready for a 12/14 hours summit day. But still wow, what great views and my first time for me above 4000m. the path from the summit to the Base Camp can be a bit slippery but the guides are great and help all the way. The trip was amazing and would definitely recommend using Skyhook as everything was sorted and the transfer even sorted out an extra taxi for me back to my Hotel. Thank you again to the Guides and skyhook for an amazing trip.

Amazing, fantastic, would thoroughly recommend this trip! I suggested this trip to a few friends over a year ago as it was on my list of things to do, and after a little research settled on this one. After booking the flights I confess to having put no extra thought into it until the last minute, but I didn't need to as our guides took care of us all and ensured we had a blast. The guides are super nice guys who took on a bunch of 6 middle aged misfits from the UK and let us have fun. We loved every moment of this trip, from the initial training, to driving the tuk tuks, feeding the elephants, riding on the bamboo rafts, and more. Our accommodation was superb, with the second one overlooking beautiful rice fields, and all of the food was excellent, including the bugs they sourced for us!

Overall this was an amazing trip, we're sold on the beauty and friendliness of northern Thailand, as well as the Tuk Tuk Club who did an amazing job. If you go with these guys you're sure to have an excellent and fun holiday.

The most memorable, amazing hiking trip that I will cherish forever. The guides were so wonderful, pefect pace for our group, lovely eople. The scenery was immense, the sense of adventre off the charts as we got up at night to start for the summit with head torches!!! The food all fresh and prepared . Our kit transported by donkeys. The accommodation in Imlil clean and authentic, The transfers in modern Mercedes buses, A day in Marakesh in the KAsbah a lively treat with a massage for sore legs. Highly highly recomend

The Sherpas were great. Good communication, apart from the close quarters at Toubkal refuge where I barely had any sleep. Everything was organised and sorted out for me, with nothing to worry about. The food was great and the locals so kind. It would have been nice to have more time to take in the scenery, but I understand there is a timetable.
Just a shame I found myself in a group where I was met with micro aggression from the start, therefore excluding me from the group. Whispering constantly about me, creating huge upset and was highly triggering given I’ve also got adhd. It was most disappointing , that only 2 men called it what it was and recognised and witnessed what was happening to me, when I wasn’t there and when I was there. It was nothing short of bullying. I separated myself from them, also tried to be kind and engaging, but the damage had already been caused. Creating me to react to anything as a result. It was shameful behaviour, given individually I got on well with people. I just kept myself to myself and still I was bitched about. I did not expect this and I have never experienced this. It took group think to a whole new level. Other than that, I had a lovely time, and it’s a good job I had strength of character and the Scot’s men than fully supported me. I was a solo traveller which made it worse.
I also didn’t appreciate the bully telling me what to tip, then telling everyone I tipped nothing when I tipped 400 and an extra 100 for the driver to drop me directly on ur route back, when they didn’t tip to be dropped back. I’m disgusted at how I was treated.
Had it not been for this, I would have given 5 stars.

Ps it would be better to put solo travellers and couples together, not a huge group of boys with a few others.
