Wonderful experience, with great guides.

Had a wonderful time. The weather was unexpectedly bad, and between the guides Tom and Lisa, and their crew bck at base in Canberra, we were able to adjust the program on the fly to keep us safe while also seeing some spectacular scenery. The equipment provided was extremely high quality, and everything was thought of. The tours cater to a range of fitness levels by design. The knowledge and experience shon through the guides, and they were also supportive in helping everyone achieve their personal goals. I wouldnt hesitate to do another trip with The Adventure Gene, in fact I'm already planning it.

Excellent equipment, sensational trails and unforgettable guides!

Was expecting a nice hike, great countryside, some lessons in painting and meeting some interesting people, it exceeded all of that!

Just completed the four-day Snowies Main Range Traverse with 5 intrepid, inspirational women guided by our two amazing, knowledgeable, patient and kind guides. Gus and Dan. Definitely a memory to treasure - exquisite views, beautiful alpine lakes and vegetation, stories and histories ancient and new, loads of laughter, delicious meals, tons of tips and tricks for hiking and camping...and so, soon much more! HAS to be experienced! Thank you to everyone at The Adventure Gene ( TAG) for making this incredible experience possible! Highly recommended!

Four days of hiking through ever changing landscapes and painting our surroundings was the perfect combination to unwind and be present in time. Maddie our lead guide is exceptional, taking great care of us as a group as well as individually – I learnt a lot about gear (which is top notch), packin and cooking delicious hiking meals. Ineka our talented art teacher was equally attentive and supportive, sharing a guiding eye and knowledge on colour, composition, seeing vs looking. Highly recommend for anyone seeking creativity, connection with nature or just to do something different.

It was my first time doing something like this, and their clear explanations made the experience incredibly comfortable for me.

Had an amazing two weeks hiking from Namadgi to Thredbo on the Australian Alps Walking Track. Maddie and Tom have gone to so much effort with the planning, delicious food and gear. All I had to do was turn up and hike. I’ll never forget this, thank you. 🩵

I went on the 4 day paint and hike and had a wonderful time. I'm fat, and not particularly fit (though I did do some training) and the guides and group were very understanding and supportive. It was the perfect mixture of challenging, enjoyable and artistic. Highly recommend

I had a great time on the Paint and Hike Blue Waterhole trip. We walked through beautiful landscapes. Maddie is a wonderful guide who cooked up amazing meals and was always there with a smile if anyone needed help. Ineka is a gifted artist and art teacher who inspired us all to get creative. The level of preparation they put into the trip, and the quality of the gear that they provide, is exceptional. Whether you are experienced, or new to either hiking, camping, or painting, I totally recommend this trip.
