Adventure Reviews
We are just at the end of a great week in the Pyrenees, the best week I remember in a very long time. I came with my 3 children (9, 13, 15). The kids loved every minute. The activities were challenging and fun. Canyoning with Bastien and tree climbing were definitely highlights, but they thoroughly enjoyed all the other activities too. And I could just relax. Penny has been very accessible and made sure all went as smoothly as possible, even arranging alternative scootering experince for us just a couple of hours after we had been late for the one originally booked for us and missed the group. We also followed her restaurant recommendations, and the food was always absolutely delicious (another highlight!).
One thing to keep in mind is that some of the activities require a 40-50 minutes drive in the mountains to get to the meeting point, so you may wish to consult Penny in advance about the location of your accommodation and the distances to different activities. Having said that, we loved the house we stayed in; and the owner has been remarkably generous, suggesting that we stay an extra night for free when our flight was cancelled due to air traffic control issues.
Overall a fantastic experience. I can highly recommend, especially for families with children of different ages.
I can’t recommend Adventure Creators enough. Our family spent the week canyoning, rafting, river kyaking – all with outstanding guides – mountain biking, on high ropes and paddle boarding in the stunning Pyrenees. It was a great balance of being active and having time to relax, including one day at the lovely Luchon outdoor pools. The apartment, right in the centre of Luchon, was excellent and Penny was always available for advice and to change days/timings of activities if needed. We’ve come home with some fantastic memories and a real sense of achievement having had the best holiday ever!
Just back from a cracking week in the Pyrenees with the family. Huge thanks to Penny for organising and sorting out all our activities. With 2 of our 3 children now adults this was a last hurrah and what a one it was. We tree climbed, river kayaked, mountain biked, paddled, hydrospeeding and canyoned. We laughed and bantered our way through the week making memories to last… our gite was beautiful with stunning views across the valley. Looking for a holiday to remember? You can’t go wrong with The Adventure Creators…highly recommended!
Just simply the Best Family Holiday we have been on. We have a 13 year son and after last years holiday of sun and beach and moaning of being bored we knew we needed an active holiday….. Well here it is.
From the start of enquiring with The Adventure Creators, Penny just made it all so simple. The Gite that was recommended was perfect, with stunning views, swimming pool, games room it was immaculate with far better equipped than advertised.
The list of activities were perfectly described and Penny’s advice which was so obviously from first hand experience made sure we chose the activities/level that suited. During the holiday the Adventure Creators’ team was available at the drop of a ‘Whatsapp’ and rearranged some of the activities to suit the weather for us – i.e. On a wet day which was supposed to be a horse riding day was changed to rafting…. we couldn’t get wetter when rafting….
We have come away from our holiday having been challenged, excited, relaxed and above all feeling like we’ve ALL had a holiday.
We can’t recommend The Adventure Creators enough, just hope you don’t get too booked up….😉
This was hands down THE best family holiday ever. Penny was so helpful and arranged a beautiful apartment in Luchon and even joined us on some activities! The activities were awesome and so much fun. Would highly highly recommend this holiday! We went as a family of 4 (2 boys aged 7 and 10 years old). We did the night in a refuge, river rafting (with the hilarious guide Alex), river walking, kayaking, caving and Adventure Park day out. The boys are asking when we can return! Go ahead and book it. You will have such an adventure!
