The Snowdon Challenge

Good organisation and level of challenge. Blessed with perfect weather.

Really enjoyed the Snowdon challenge day. It was challenging but not to an intimidating level, all manageable. Super-well organised by Jim and Emma. Equipment (bikes, kayaks) was all in good working order, Emma was a patient and friendly guide for the day. Plan for the day and kit changes were all clearly laid out. Hotel is nice too, good food and beautiful surroundings. I knocked one star off because the kayak bit at the end feels a bit like a half-hearted add-on. You can do it or skip it as you choose. Some people left early to get trains. It just stopped it feeling quite like -- a challenge, y'know? Like there was a point to it, to get from A to B. If it were a two-night trip this would relieve the pressure of some people needing to leave early to make trains etc. But that minor thing aside, had a fab time and would highly recommend,

Booked this as a solo mini adventure, was a bit worried about my fitness, the activities allowed plenty of re grouping so very inclusive. Equipment was good quality with friendly guides were helpful, I felt in safe hands. I have reviewed as 4 star as paid for the single supplement hoping for a double room to myself at the hotel, however was given a small single room which was tiny and had no Aircon, the extractor fan didn't turn off very quickly. . humming into the night. Hotel sorted out the issue quickly though. Very happy to recommend this mini adventure it's a brilliant way to explore the area! Thanks to Jim and Emma for a great day.

A fantastic day with a brilliant guide, Ryan kept us going with a pace that worked for everyone and his local knowledge.

An absolutely brilliant day from start to finish! The entire experience with Much Better Adventures was super smooth and incredibly slick. Our guides, Jim and Tom, were fabulous—not only was their knowledge of the area top-notch, but they also took great care of us throughout the challenge. The equipment (bikes and kayaks) was high-quality and well-maintained, and the food was surprisingly enjoyable. An amazing trip that I’d recommend to anyone looking for a seamless Snowdonia adventure!

Hotel lovely, guides lovely and good kit. Lunch lovely, routes lovely - a really super day. One member of the team could do with bushing up on their interpersonal skills.

We were lucky to have lovely weather as the day before it was non stop rain. Our guides Conor and Larry were fab. They stayed with us on the cycle and up and down the mountain. Patient and helpful all the time. It was a great challenge to do the 3 activities in one day. A good challenge to do with good friends. The communication before and after was not brilliant and the welcome briefing was not welcoming or informative which was a shame as didn’t give a good impression to start the tour.

My friend and I had a great experience. The hotel was perfectly situated and was a pleasant stay with good food. The experience itself was seamlessly organised with Tom and Jim on hand for all our needs and questions. We had a great group with like minded individuals and groups. If you want to experience the scenery and routes with some assistance then I highly recommend this adventure!

Great trip. Really helpful and knowledgeable guides. Thanks to all the team.

We had a great time! The trip from start to finish was really well organised. Amazing experience. My friend George was turning 50 and wanted a challenge. He was very nervous and almost cried - but the team were great!
