    Just completed the Dash to Dubrovnik with Hardest Adventures. I had the time of my life, made so many new friends and experienced so much. I loved it. The reps. Will, Maddie, Sonny, George T and George L were also so amazing, helpful and supportive the whole time, making it so special for us. Would definitely recommend

    I decided to do the Everest Base Camp Trek as my quarter-life crisis and had an absolutely incredible time! The trip was very well run, full of amazing people and an experience I’ll never forget. Hardest Adventures are the real deal, will likely be signing up for another trip when I can.

    EVEREST BASE CAMP! What a trip of a lifetime. Not only was is the best physical challenge I have ever set myself but mental aswell. However there was never a doubt in my mind that I wouldnt be able to do it because of the AMAZING support from the guides and the team that I went with, especailly Sophia who I couldn’t have done it without. I have made friends for life. Be warned though because HA is an adictive organisation (in the best way) to be a part of and you might just find yourself signing up for another challenge like me doing kilimanjaro this summer. - Gracie

    Ran the Lisbon Marathon this weekend. Was the hardest physical challenge I've ever put my body through, purely because I ran the first half 1 minute off my half-marathon PB so the second half was INSANE! However, I feel like because it was such a difficult test of physical and mental strength, doing it with this amazing group of people brought us so much closer together. If you're thinking of doing one of these challenges, JUST DO IT! You feel so much accomplishment afterwards and the friendships you make are unbelievable.

    Was fortunate enough to go on the Everest base camp trek this August, the most incredible trip. Sofia was our lead organiser and she truly made it special, it was incredibly well run with such a large group (30 people) with no issues at all. She gave everyone all the time in the world and leading up to the trip she helped with any questions or queries I had. Couldn’t recommend her and the company enough. Faultless

    I went to Everest Base Camp with Hardest Adventures (then Endeavours Adventures) and had the absolute trip of a lifetime, great crowd, good trip organisation and support for admin/visas etc. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to explore some of the more physically challenging trips available in the world!

    I took part in a really successful Everest Base Camp trek this summer in Nepal, organised and delivered by Hardest Adventures. The trip consisted of a group of approximately 25 people trekking from Lukla to Everest Base Camp, the trek was really well organised, with a massive thanks to Sofia who was our Hardest Adventures rep during the trek. She was always on hand to provide any guidance and information along the trip and was really supportive throughout the trek. Also a big thank you to all the Sherpas and porters who were extremely helpful and cheerful. I’d highly recommend anyone interested in completing a Hardest Adventures challenge to sign-up.

    Just returned from the Everest base camp trek with hardest adventures and can easily say it was one of the best experiences of my life. The 2.5 weeks ran incroyable smoothly, the guides and leads were amazing, and the rest of the group were awesome too (including the amazing reps!) highly recommend.

    Having completed the 2026 dash to Dubrovnik challenge, I had the best trip of my life. This was not only down to the charity challenge aspect, or the journey itself but also massively influenced by the hardest adventure reps. All reps were a massive help be it with car trouble, navigation or with ensuring the team got the most out of the journey. Maddie and sonny in particular ensured my team had a safe and unforgettable trip that will not be forgotten any time soon.

    Just finished Machu Picchu expedition with this lot. Impeccable organisation throughout (compared with other guided tours they were on another level of organisation, fun and enjoyment), Will is a legend and a fantastic rep. Great way of meeting new people and exploring the world whilst contributing to charity!

    So, with the plan for the Machu Picchu trip it was already going to be amazing, but the way Will the rep ran the whole thing made it not just a nice trip with cool views, but also hilarious, action packed and so well organised that it was easy. Everyone was friends by day 2 or 3. The Machu Picchu guides were perfect for the job as well, friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable.
