Exploring the beautiful Isle of Skye in Scotland
Great trekking! Gorgeous landscapes, nice accomodation (specially in Portree), useful and easy app with the intinerary. Good tranfers as well.
I hope I could have another experience like this with The Natural Adventure!

Poor communication and lack of local knowledge
The accommodation was ok - although one hotel was very dilapidated - but was redeemed as the restaurant was great. The luggage transfers and the other transfers were good too. However, there were some issues which I think were due to poor communication and a lack of local knowledge. The walks averaged out at about 20 k a day but one day was 11k and we started late and had a leisurely lunch only to find that when we arrived at the town it was another 5 k walk to the hotel along a very busy road. This was not in the trip notes or on the gps guide given to us. Also at some hotels we had to pay a tax and at others, even in the same town, we didn't and we could have been informed about this. On the website, the tour was described as including 2 meals and a couple of packed lunches but we did not receive these. When I queried this when i returned home, they just said it was a mistake on the website description ( I noticed now they have taken it off). As I booked the group of 8 this was a bit embarrassing for me as the others members of the group thought they had paid for this. Sad to say no offer of compensation was offered. Needless to say this will probably deter us from using the company again.
Toubkal and Desert Adventure
This was a father and son trip - our first to Morocco and the desert. It was expertly coordinated by our lead guide Mohamed Maachou, who was ever-present and completely aware of all the details at all times. We stayed in his family home one night and his generosity and care was exceptional. Our mountain guide, Hassan, was equally adept, kind and very informative of local traditions and practices. In particular, his pacing on the mountain and management of mild altitude symptoms was masterful and completely confidence inspiring. Later in the trip we were driven into the desert and enjoyed quad biking, camel riding at sunset and sunrise and an over-night stay in a Berber camp. Again, our driver Mohamed was kind, courteous, attentive and proficient.
Overall this trip exceeded our expectations and was a wonderful - but safe - adventure.
Sarria to Santiago: Phenomenal Experience with The Natural Adventure
A friend and I did the 115km self-guided walk from Sarria to Santiago with The Natural Adventure. We had a phenomenal experience with the company. Clear communication, excellent support and frankly amazing hotels and pensions for a very very reasonable cost. We stayed in 5 different accommodations during the walk and all were excellent. We also had included a tour of Santiago as well, which was also fantastic. We could not recommend The Natural Adventure more - they deserve all the plaudits and we are actively planning to do another walking experience with them in the not-too-distant future.
Cycling the Camino Portugues Coastal Way
What an amazing experience. Professional service, great bikes. We had a fun week (despite the weather), and it is mainly because we didn't have to worry about accomodation or luggage transport, but to focus on ourselves.
The accomodations were good along the way and the guide book we got covered everything what we had to know.
I'm already thinking of the next experience with them.
Excellent care and communication
The organisation, communication and level of care were excellent.
I cannot recommend this company enough
I cannot recommend this company enough, from the pre-booking information provided, the booking itself and the information pack was exceptional. We were a group of 12 on the El Camino Portuguese Relaxed 125km. The hotels/hostels were immaculate, linen was super clean, towels aplenty. Breakfasts (included) were great, we could not fault anything about this trip. Thank you for making our adventure so comfortable and stress free. We all loved every minute of our experience.

Absolutely dreadful experience on la Gomera. The company sent us over the mountain in the middle of high wind alerts- all routes were officially closed and nobody bothered to suggest any alternative. Then they selected hotel on the construction site- major motorway being built - already started 1 year ago- that just shows how they dont update the route! also sent us for a swim in place where people died because its dangerous and officially closed off for year! Absolute shambles company- they outsource the local service to another company which is also not based on the island...wash their hands off and dont care about you as soon as you paid. DO NOT BUY WITH THEM!

Contact was easy and messaging clear. Booking was easy even when I booked the wrong trip ! It was sorted out easily and quickly. Look forward to my trip
Initial Trip Planning Has Begun!
So far, so good! We are just beginning our trip preparations with The Natural Adventurer, and Dalila has responded quickly and in detail to initial inquiries. I know there are other outfitters, but I was drawn to a smaller operation for personal service. We'll see!

Above and Beyond
This is our third trip with Natural Adventure. They are absolutely superb to work with. These can be complicated trips with many moving parts, but the details are always meticulously planned and the customer service is above and beyond. They are highly recommended.

Excellent service tailored to the requirements of clients. We have completed serval hikes with Natural Adventures and found great expertise involved in the selection of hikes and professionalism in the service.
Excellent pre booking service
I didn’t book a trip but was extremely impressed by the professionalism and excellent response to my enquiry- I will definitely make enquiries about river cruises again with this company and this is based upon my experience with the booking staff
Christmas in the Mountains
booked the highest peaks of the Atlas Mountains with the Natural Adventure Company. Everything was great regarding our guide Brahim Ouahi who was a local lad from Asni. Very knowledgeable and charming also our contact in Morocco Mohamed Maachou who made sure our accommodation in the mountains and Marrakesh was beyond good..
We summited Toubkal on Christmas morning which was a bonus. All round a great experience, we found the mountains fascinating and very welcoming.
Very responsive and informative
Very responsive and informative thru the pre booking process.
I look forward to enjoying the trip!
Camino de Primitivo
First time using The Natural Adventure company. We hiked a short section of the Camino de Primitivo. We were provided with route cards, stamp passport and shell on arrival.
The accommodation and bag transfer service was excellent.
Passau to Vienna Self Guided Cycle Tour
Fantastic trip. So well organised. Really cute little hotels booked for us each night. The logistics of having our luggage transported to the next hotel ahead of us each day worked so well. Great information and communication before the trip and comprehensive routes given when we arrived. This was the first time we’d had a cycling holiday and we loved it.
We will definitely be booking another trip with this company in the future.
Dalila went out of her way to quickly help
Having travelled with The Natural Adventure, and enjoyed immensely, their Tuscan self-guided walk we were keen to use the company again but wanted some variations to the advertised itinerary/route. Dalila liaised with me very promptly, investigated and was able to offer what our group wanted despite my initial email being sent over the Christmas break. Still haven't heard back from a rival company we also contacted more than a week ago...
Excellent customer care
We have booked several trips through Natural Adventure Company. Unusually, on our forthcoming trip, there was a complication beyond the company's control and the trip had to be postponed. I am pleased to say that our queries were resolved in a manner that was timely, highly professional and kind. It is great to find companies that really do look after customers! How refreshing! Based on our experience, we will certainly continue to book trips with Natural Adventure.
Best six day walking holiday in a long time.
I just loved hiking in Mallorca - it surpassed all expectations. I'm not a regular hiker, but I'm a keen one, and so this had the perfect level of pushing me but also inspiring me. The mountain scenery is just extraordinary, starting with Valledemossa, and then I loved combining that with coastal walks and a few days staying on the coast in Port de Sóller. We swam every day after walking while on the coast, ate amazing food and really loved every minute. We got cheap flights from the UK in October and so, all in all, we thought it was great value for money. The app and guide notes worked well, as did the transfers, and the hotels were fab, with massive breakfast, and enough to create a packed lunch with too. Bring walking poles, there are some steep, rocky descents, and make sure you bring your swimsuit to Cala Tuent for the start of that day's walk. You won't regret it.
