Human Powered Adventures

I had a fantastic experience on this trip. Tom and Maddie are true professionals when it comes to hiking gear and routes. They are also very patient and caring. They always noticed when I needed a break and never pressured me to walk faster. This was important for me because, in the past, I felt stressed out while hiking. Other groups walked too quickly, and I sensed their annoyance when they had to wait for me. I often had to push myself too hard, which made me feel unwell. However, on this trip, we maintained a perfect pace.

You couldn't ask for a better way to experience the highest peaks in Australia. The Adventure Gene takes all the guess work out of a fantastic hiking trip, so you just turn up and prepare to enjoy. Light weight packs with cool gear, Tom and Maddie took the time to run through the set up and were super informative about the areas we went through (down to being bang on with the best spots to be in for sunset / sunrise). Food far exceeded expectations and made for welcoming lunch and dinner stops. Would highly recommend.

I did the 7 days Snowies Alpine Traverse with Tom and Maddie and it was amazing. As well as a great holiday I learned a lot about longer distance hiking - navigation, blister care, water management, river crossings (although all in this route were very tame). They were great guides and it’s given me the skills and confidence to do longer hikes. And their pancakes are amazing! Highly recommended. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
