Hywen was great, keeping you well informed about facts of the route and surrounding areas, great fun to chat to too. Didn’t get to see the sunrise due to the weather but the walk was well organised that we had breaks at the right times meaning the tough parts were made easier.
Having never done a walk of this type, we chose MountainXperience for our sunrise climb based on available dates and existing reviews. I can say all were true. From booking to any questions witj Simon, all answered quickly. Our guide for the climb, Hywyn, was excellent. Patient, supportive and wirh lots of info and stories along the way. What an incredible experience to be at the top and to see the world from that height was breathtaking and something me and my family can’t recommend highly enough. Would definitely use this company again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review, Richard. We're thrilled that you chose MountainXperience for your first mountain adventure and that your Snowdon Sunrise experience lived up to the reviews you had read beforehand. It was a pleasure answering your questions before the walk, and we're delighted to hear that Hywyn looked after you and your family so well on the mountain. His patience, encouragement and storytelling always help make the climb that little bit more memorable. There's something truly special about watching the sun rise from the summit of Snowdon, and we're so pleased you were able to enjoy those unforgettable views together as a family.
Hywyn was such a emphatic and knowledgeable guide he made the experience even nicer. He picked up on my nerves through messages prior to the meet and reassured me, I went to the wrong meeting point and he phoned to ensure I got to the correct place. During the ascent he was incredibly considerate to other peoples fitness levels with no judgement just kindness and understanding. It was beautiful we didn't get to see a sunrise but saw an inversion instead it was incredible. Thank you Hywyn for making it an wonderful experience. Found a new found love for mountains.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Sarah-Jane. We're delighted to hear that your first experience with us was such a positive one. It's lovely to know that Hywyn was able to put your mind at ease before the walk and made sure you found the group despite the mix-up with the meeting point. One of the things we're most proud of is creating a welcoming environment where everyone can enjoy the mountain at their own pace, so it's fantastic to hear that Hywyn's kindness, encouragement and understanding made such a difference to your experience. Whilst a sunrise is always special, an inversion can be even more magical, and we're so pleased you were able to witness one. They're one of those unforgettable mountain moments that stay with you for years. The best part of your review, though, is hearing that you've discovered a newfound love of the mountains. We couldn't ask for a better compliment! We hope this is just the first of many adventures with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Eryri soon. Simon.
Went in 04/06/2026, unfortunately we did not get the sunrise due to the weather but we know there was a risk of that, our guide was Hywyn, did an amazing job of getting us to the summit in time even tho we had people that turned up late, he even took pictures for everyone at the summit and told us all about the history of the mountain and some of the surrounding areas. Even without the sunrise this was still an amazing experience and another mountain hiked, thanks again Hywyn! Even without the sunrise, we still got some awesome pictures of the scenery on the way down.
Thanks for the fab review! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your Snowdon adventure with Hywyn. I'll make sure he sees your lovely comments. Simon.
Lovely small group, Hywyn is a very professional guide and we had the bonus of a stunning dawn chorus. Great trip!
Thanks for the kind words Janet! I'm really pleased you had such an enjoyable Snowdon Sunrise adventure with Hywyn. All the best. Simon.
What an amazing experience from start to finish, Hywyn was a fantastic guide, full of information about the mountain and history of the area, a lovely person to share the walk with 😁. The weather wasn’t great but the scenery was still stunning and I’d do it all over again whatever the weather. Mountain Xperience were very efficient and the information they provided in advance was so helpful. I’d highly recommend this trip and company.
Thanks for the 5* review Deborah! I'm so pleased you enjoyed your Snowdon Sunrise Hike with Hywyn. I'll make sure he sees your kind words. Simon.
My second hike with Mountain Xperience and both times were fabulous. My first hike was with Simon and despite best efforts we were beaten by the weather. Last weekend I hiked with Hywyn and David and chose the sunrise hike. Brilliant guides, great group of people and the most stunning sunrise. Highly recommend 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 thanks guys x
Thanks for the awesome review! I'm so pleased you made it to the summit of Snowdon with Hywyn and David and had such an amazing view! All the very best. Simon.
The sunrise hike with Hywen and Dave was amazing, from start to finish they look after you and ensure that you get to the summit safely. Their stories and sense of humour keep you motivated and gets you to the top in no time.
What a great photo Cheryl! Thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. I'm really pleased you enjoyed your Snowdon Sunrise experience. Simon.
I booked this experience after a request from my daughter to celebrate her 16th birthday. I was unsure of doing it to begin with but was overjoyed we did! We met Hywyn at the Snowdon railway station in Llanberis at 1:30am. He was full of info, and it was fun listening to his stories and experiences. We were in a group of 8. Hywyn gave us plenty of breaks to make the climb more comfortable. We were so lucky to have fantastic weather and had ample time at the summit to enjoy the views. If you thinking of booking, do it. You won't regret it!!
Thanks for the 5* review Lisa! I'm really pleased you enjoyed your Snowdon sunrise adventure with Hywyn. He's great isn't he! I'll make sure he sees your kind words. Simon.
I booked the sunrise hike up Mt. Snowdon for my wife and eldest daughter. They both raved about the trip and tell me that Andy Hewlett is a superb guide, very knowledgable and passionate about the outdoors. They would both highly recommend using Andy for your guided hiking needs.
