Why travel with Hardest Adventures
Escaping the day-to-day for Moments that Matter
Hardest Adventures: Our Vision
Hardest Adventures was born to inspire people everywhere to make the most of life and discover the moments that matter. We operate both group adventure/running experiences, alongside unique media channels that blend raw moments, powerful storytelling, and world-class production to capture what happens when ordinary people take on extraordinary challenges.
What makes Hardest Adventures different
What are the four best things about being part of Hardest?
Ethical travel is Hardest travel.
A portion of what you've paid for your trip guarantees the very best, most ethical suppliers possible on every trip. For example, we deliberately work with B Corp–certified local suppliers in Peru, meaning our Machu Picchu trek already meets those standards where it matters most. On Kilimanjaro, our partners operate under KPAP, guaranteeing top-tier wages, proper gear, regulated conditions, and three hot meals a day for porters and crew. On top of that, we’re carbon positive through native tree planting in Peru, with a positive impact fund launching next year too. Ethics aren’t a badge for us, they’re the standard.
Finding your people, through Hardest Adventures.
Hardest Adventures isn’t just a booking, it’s a shared pursuit. From free Mission trips and community hikes to the tight-knit teams that form on every challenge, it's all about bringing the right people together. You’ll meet your best mates on these trips, people who will never turn down that hike/run, people who love to test themselves and see what’s on the other side.
That bond doesn’t stop at the finish line. Group chats stay alive, friendships carry on, and many people return for their next challenge with familiar faces. That's what we love to see the most!!!
Through the highlights, into the Hardest places.
Not only will you see the highlights, we're keen to show you what's just off the beaten path - that's where the real stories lie. We work exclusively with top-tier local guides - the crème de la crème - who know these landscapes inside out, and every group is supported by a Hardest Adventures rep on the ground. You get the iconic moments, yes - but also the ones you wouldn't know to look for.
Hardest Support from start-to-finish.
From the moment you book, you’re backed by real support from a team with decades of experience. You’ve got detailed training plans, packing lists that actually make sense, online trip briefings, and pre-trip team meet-ups. On the adventure, there’s always a Hardest Adventures rep alongside you. You’re never guessing, never left behind, and never expected to “just deal with it.” Hard doesn’t mean unsupported.
"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."
