Really the best trip I’ve had in a while! Highly recommend Trail Pursuit to anyone who wants a fully organised, fun adventure with like minded people and full of activities. I spent 5 days in Slovenia staying beside beautiful Lake Bohinj with an amazing bunch of people and we managed to fit in hiking, swimming, kayaking, canyoning, trail running, zip-lining and cycling. A wonderful mix of being outdoors in stunning surroundings, having fun and challenging/pushing yourself. I also felt the trip was well planned and all activities had adequate guides and equipment to feel safe Highly recommend, thank you :)

Magic Madeira: This was my maiden group activity holiday, and I have no intention of making it my last, in fact, this is how I plan for all my holidays to be from now on! Everything from accommodation to activities was awesome and the people are what made it extra special… can’t recommend any more.

An Epic Adventure ! This was my third trip with Trail Pursuit and it didn’t fail to deliver once again. This was an incredible way to explore the wild of Norway, and really get into nature : we didn’t see another person for days! Each part of the trip was well planned and thought out, and contrast of getting to explore the mountains AND the fjords blew my mind. Absolutely loved it !!

Recently just completed the Slovenia trip with Trail Pursuit and it was an absolute blast. Ed, our guide and facilitator was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in making sure we were prepared and ready for each day. The pace of the trip was blended perfectly with downtime and activities where I never felt rushed or worn down. If I could give 10 stars I would. For me, it wasn't so much about the activities, it was the community and friendships I made over the week that have followed me back to London. It's a great networking opportunity to meet like minded people. I definitely would be back again.

Went on the Norway trip in August. Super well-organised and unique. Ed, who runs Trail Pursuit is great and very down to earth which adds to the enjoyment of the trip. The guide we had, David, was also amazing. The views were stunning (weather permitting) and it was all round, a great trip. I'd go on another trip in the future.

Back in June 2022 I had the privilege of being part of the first 'team' to live the Norway experience. Having found the courage to travel by myself, I found it utterly fantastic from start to finish. Yes, it had its moments of challenge but this helped to make it such an amazing experience. Such a stunning location and well thought out loop above/within the majestic fjord. One of the best experiences I've ever had! As for the 'team' they were all such amazing people and it was a pleasure to share the experience with them, thank you!
