Participants' reviews

I'm not one of those people who likes to lie on the beach all day, although after intense work on the continent, a few days of relaxation allowed me to regain my energy.

Thank you, Oleg, for choosing the places; they're truly interesting locations with many new discoveries. However, I especially enjoyed the north of the island – it's extraordinary! Gáldar with its Painted Cave and the local artist's museum made a big impression on me. And then there was the delicious seafood at the Sardina beach restaurant, which our guide booked too early because it was full.

But what I remember most vividly are the mountains. Breathtaking cliffs, clouds drifting over the peaks, and a wind so strong it practically ripped my phone from my hands as I took photos.

I also didn't know there were waterfalls on the island. It's a beautiful spot near Mogán Beach. There, they prepared smoothies for us made with cactus and local fruits—papaya and banana.

I'd like to come back here again. Maybe live somewhere in the mountains so I can explore the area more thoroughly and go trekking.

Thank you to our guide Oleg for an interesting time, the program was great!

It was an incredibly interesting and relaxing trip. Thanks, Oleg. You made sure we spent the first three days relaxing on Gran Canaria's most beautiful beaches. Anfi del Mar, Amadores, and Sardina beaches were the most memorable. Interestingly, the first two are in the south, while the third is in the north of the island. The most beautiful is, of course, Playa Anfi – white sand, warm water, and a nearby oasis of palm trees and restaurants, which were a pleasure to stroll along after soaking up the sun. There are several nice restaurants near the beach, where we ate lunch.

Every day it was around 24–26°C. In the mornings, the temperature sometimes reached 17°C, but because we traveled south, we always managed to bask in the sun. For me, these were ideal conditions – I don't like it hotter than 30°C, and 25°C was perfect.

When we got a little tired of the sun, water, and sand on the third day, our guide, Oleg, took us to an incredible museum. We're talking about the Cueva Pintada – the Painted Cave and ancient Canarian settlement, located in the historic town of Gáldar. It was quite something!

There were plenty of other attractions: an energetic guide at a banana plantation and a trip north with its serpentine roads and picturesque mountains. After a trip like that, you're eager to explore more of the Canary Islands. Next year, I'm planning to visit Tenerife – it's a great base from which you can take a ferry to one of the neighboring islands.

Thank you, Oleg, for this journey. I wish there was more!

Hey, Oleg!

I'm so glad we chose you as our guide. You're fantastic, you kept us entertained and safe the entire time!

I liked the north of Tenerife the most. It's so green, wonderful, and magnificent.

Such a black, extraordinary Benijo beach. Far from the hustle and bustle, hidden in the thicket of the Anaga forest. When we drove there, the views were stunning. The cliffs, the village of Taganana below with its white houses… I've never seen landscapes like these before. They're simply mind-blowing!

My trip north was truly memorable. It's such an unreal contrast to the south. The south is all dry and warm, with shades of yellow, while the north is full of lush greenery.

Thank you for showing me a completely different world in Tenerife! I had no idea something like this existed here!

Helgard,

Thank you for this trip. It was an unforgettable experience. I enjoyed everything.

Someday I'll definitely go with you to another island. Good luck and I wish you as many clients as possible!

My trip with Oleg in Tenerife was an incredible experience! From the very beginning, he was incredibly thoughtful and organized, making everything run smoothly and stress-free.

The walk through the forest was beautiful, and the pace was perfect. Oleg ensured my comfort every step of the way, sharing interesting details about the area and paying attention to every detail, allowing me to simply enjoy the moment.

After the hike, he took me to a traditional Canarian restaurant where the food was absolutely delicious – it was the perfect way to end the day and a place I would never have found on my own.

It's clear that Oleg truly cares about his guests and is committed to providing them with a unique, authentic experience, not just a typical tour. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to see the real Tenerife.

Thank you, Oleg!

My favorite was a unique, mysterious place in Tenerife—Anaga. Anaga is simply amazing! We started our route at La Asomada—it was pure wow. High in the mountains, the views over the valley and ocean—amazing!

The guide planned the entire route from A to Z. Because I have a leg problem and couldn't walk much, he chose the shortest possible route for me. The views were simply stunning, and safety was paramount and a top priority.

Afterward, we grabbed a bite to eat at a guachinche in the island's first capital, La Laguna. Next, we visited the very pleasant Las Teresitas Beach in the current capital, Santa Cruz. The sand there is golden, very soft, and pleasant. It was a sunny and fantastic day. The beach has a long breakwater, which keeps the water calm and wave-free—perfect for swimming. It's perfect for families with children.

That day I had to get to the airport and the guide picked me up perfectly on time, 2 hours before departure.

I'm so grateful to our guide. The trip was intense, full of beautiful places and wow-worthy views. It left me with so many positive impressions. The north of Tenerife is incredible. I want to come back here again and again!

Dionne, with best regards

"We spent a wonderful weekend in Špindlerův Mlýn with Oleg, our guide. He organized everything from start to finish: he picked us up, drove us back, and chose an amazing place to stay—a spacious room with huge windows and a view of the mountains.
The first day was full of excitement: we hiked to a picturesque lake, climbed a viewpoint on the way to the Labska Bouda mountain hut, and in the evening, a fragrant barbecue awaited us. Oleg marinated the meat himself and prepared an incredibly tasty sous vinaigrette.
On the second day, we went bobsledding, took a walk along the river, admiring the beautiful views, then returned to town, had dinner at a cozy Czech restaurant, and headed home. It was one of those weekends when your head really resets and you stop remembering what day of the week it is.„

"It started off energetically: morning, autumn, Pec pod Sněžkou, a village like something out of a honey tea ad. Warm, sunny, the river gurgled, leaves rustled, and the mood: we were brave to have set out! The first few kilometers led along a forest path, with a decent incline, but still without any suffering. Fortunately, we had a great guide: Oleg – a man-navigator and a walking Wikipedia, who knew not only where to turn but also every interesting fact about the local landscape.

Next up is the classic: Růžohorky, and Śnieżka looms ahead—not so snowy, by the way. The ascent is long, but brisk. At the top, the wind almost knocks you off your feet, the sign shows 22.3 m/s and 9.6°C, but the temperature feels like "hold me or I'll fly away." It feels like one more step and you're being carried towards the Polish border. At the top, there's a crowd—some eating sausages, others taking photos of a house resembling a UFO, and we look down, wondering how we're going to get down now without sliding down on our asses.

The route was picturesque, but my knees said "no thanks," as there were a lot of steps. The guide continued to walk briskly, as if he had spare knees in his backpack. Along the way, we passed a stone cottage built into the slope, which could easily have been used for a witch movie. Down below, there were more rivers, a forest, "how beautiful it is." At the end of the trip, pleasant exhaustion, lots of photos, and a firm resolve: we had to do it again.„

My coolest adventure with Bright Mountain Adventures was the August trek to Spielmann in the Alps, as part of a five-day stay in the Austrian mountains. Everything was perfectly organized: comfortable transport, delicious snacks, clear safety rules, and a guide who cared for us like we were his own slightly lost and inexperienced mountain kids. What stayed with me the most was their approach to safety.

When the weather suddenly turned — an icy wind swept in, and the snow started falling so heavily that we could barely see — some people in our group still wanted to continue. But our guide was firm: calmly and decisively, he gathered us all and organized the descent back to the starting point. I felt immense gratitude for that sense of care!

And despite the storm, I couldn’t take my eyes off the lake we spotted from above. It lay in the snow, covered with a thin layer of ice, shimmering in the August light like a precious jewel among the green and gray cliffs. That view has stayed with me forever.

An unforgettable winter walk in the mountains on the Polish-Czech border! In the valleys, it was just an ordinary winter, but as soon as we climbed higher, we entered a true fairy tale. Everywhere was covered in snow-white powder, the trees looked like they were made of crystal, and the air was crystal clear. It was a great way to escape everyday worries and experience the beauty of nature outside of work. Between the trees, there were incredible views of snow-covered peaks and valleys. The snow crunched underfoot, and in the silence of the forest, you could only hear our footsteps and occasionally the crack of a branch. All thoughts and worries simply faded away.

Special thanks go to our guide – a true professional! He organized the entire trip perfectly, planned the route down to the smallest detail, and ensured the group's complete safety. We felt confident even on snow-covered trails. Thanks to his experience, we could admire the mountain landscapes and take fantastic photos without worrying about any risks.

I recommend it to all nature lovers and active leisure enthusiasts! The beauty of the winter mountains is truly worth putting on your trekking boots and hitting the trail.

My husband and I were invited on a trip to Zakopane to see the mountain lake Morskie Oko. Zakopane is a Polish town located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. I would especially like to mention our guide, Oleg, who planned the route perfectly and booked the accommodations in advance. It was an extraordinary two-story wooden house. Our room on the second floor was very comfortable and cozy, and the entire interior was made of wood.

My husband and I were very pleased with the accommodation and comfort. We were enchanted by the view. We returned down with our grandson in a horse-drawn carriage. Tired but happy, we were truly satisfied with this mountain trip. This beauty is unforgettable.
