EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Hannah Dare2022-07-30 We had a retirement group climb with Adam earlier this year and it was a really enjoyable day. Adam looked after all of us really well, made sure no one got left behind and is very knowledgeable about the area. It’s great to be picked up in Glengarriff and dropped off and then collected after - great service! I really recommend Adam 👍 Mary O'Mahony2022-07-26 Adam is such a great guide. He is super chilled, and filled us in with lots of interesting facts about the area. He is full of local knowledge, and facilitated a group of strangers to feel very at ease with each other and relax, enjoying the amazing scenery. I really enjoyed the group element of the hike! Very nice thing to do, on a Sunday morning and a good sense of achievement on the ground after. Thank you Adam! Dolores Cummins2022-07-25 Wonderful hike to the sugar Loaf in West Cork. Adam was our guide for the day. He is both knowledgeable and informative. As a local he knows his way through these magical pathways along the Beara. Thank you for an amazing experience. I’ll be back 😃 Dolores Molly Sharkey Carnahan2022-07-21 We hired Adam to guide our family on a private hike. It was fabulous. Adam organized all the details. He made it so easy for us, as we were visiting from out of the area. We had a lovely day. Lots of memories! Highly recommend Adam. Cathy Rains2022-07-21 Adam was a fantastic hike leader to the top of Sugarloaf Mt! He was knowledgeable, kind and patient with our family group of 9 people. This hike has some strenuous parts and you are well rewarded with beautiful views at the peak! I highly recommend Adam and this hike! Lynn Townsend-White2022-07-21 We had a great hike with Adam to the top of Sugar Loaf outside of Glengarriff Ireland. For us, it was quite a challenging hike, but there were enough spaced out breaks to enjoy the scenery and take a breather. Lunch on top was beautiful. Adam was great with the group making sure everyone had what they needed and were enjoying themselves. Would definitely recommend Adam. Taylor Rains2022-07-20 Adam was incredible! He took us on a hike up Sugarloaf mountain, including a portion that was off-trail that we would have never been able to find without an experienced guide! The views were absolutely incredible and Adam was so knowledgeable about the history of the area and the trail itself. Would highly recommend joining him for the Sugarloaf hike or any others! Rebekka Simon2022-07-20 Hiking is one of the most beautiful ways to explore Westcork. With enthusiasm and passion, Adam guided us safely to the top of Sugarloaf. Sharing his knowledge about the land and myths made the trip even more exciting. He made sure that everyone felt comfortable walking in their own pace and still kept the group together. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with "Onwards and Upwards" and highly recommend a hike with Adam. :)
