The idea to offer great experiences in Wales came about following mine and my husband’s wedding a couple of years ago when some friends of ours came over from Denmark and whilst they were here we took them on a tour around North Wales, to do some ziplining and some drives through the mountains, and they were absolutely amazed by how incredible Wales was.

Both of them had lived and worked in the UK, but they were completely blown away. They knew Scotland and England but they didn’t really know Wales existed!

We thought there was a great opportunity to bring people to North Wales to see how beautiful it is and what great activities there are in this spectacular environment, incredible stuff that, as locals, we do all the time.

We decided to start a company offering amazing local experiences because we just felt really passionate that Wales has incredible wild spaces.

We’ve got everything on our doorstep in North Wales, you can be in the mountains, then to a forest, then into gentle rolling hills, then off to the coast. All of that, all in less than an hour’s drive each way.

We wanted to make really amazing experiences with a local guide to show you that extra special something you wouldn’t find on your own.

We’ll take you to that cute little café down the road that no one else finds. There are all sorts of things hidden about in those hills, old ruins with a story to tell,  and down south there are even  aeroplanes which were brought down in the last world war just laying on on the mountainside.

We hand-pick our guides to make sure they are absolutely the best people. They know so much about the local area and  they’re also so reassuring.

Everything we do is with our ethos at heart, we always say you’ll arrive with a handshake and leave with a bear hug, and everybody who comes on our trips says at the end that they feel like they’ve found new friends.

We use our local knowledge to avoid any crowds and make sure people see the best of the place in its natural form.

Hiking is amazing here and it is the home of mountain biking – so if you can ride a bike, we’ll take you out on a bike! We like to get people out onto the wild trails, so we’ll take you out with a guide, and get you out hiking or riding in some really remote places off the beaten track.

And then there is the coast, coasteering is amazing fun, and obviously it was born here in Wales, there is also sea kayaking, or going on a RIB ride.

Mountains and coasts are the main features of the natural environment in Wales and its also home to the world’s fastest zipline if people want a bit of a bucket list item ticked.

Responsible tourism and sustainability are especially important to us and underpin everything we do.

One of our aims is to always do small group tours,  giving the individuals the best experience possible because you get to share it with just a few like-minded people, but it’s also a really personal experience.

It makes a huge difference to the local infrastructure. We travel to small rural villages, where large groups are not possible, or desirable.

On our trips we visit local craft shops, include local breweries or local pubs and locally owned businesses.

Every partner we work with is local and independently owned everything is North Wales owned and run.

We also encourage people to try and travel outside the high season when they can. If you want the best experience then come when it’s quieter, experience Snowdonia in winter or come and do some early season walking, or maybe a January wellness camp.
