We loved it and really can’t recommend it enoughPosted on Gary BeckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. For two decades, skiing the renowned Japow in Hokkaido was a dream I hadn’t managed to fulfill. When my daughter and son-in-law asked me to join them on a Hokkaido Adventures guided ski trip, I couldn’t say no. Although I hadn’t considered taking a guided tour before, I immediately recognized the exceptional value and service Gabe offers. The five-star reviews for Hokkaido Adventures are genuine. Gabe’s careful planning and attention to detail make everything run smoothly. From the food and onsens to the cultural experiences, accommodations, and the fresh powder, everything exceeded my expectations. Had I traveled alone, I would have missed out on many insights and experiences—there’s so much you won’t discover on your own! With limited time, it’s hard to know where you can legally duck a rope, uncover that hidden side country stash, or find unique lunch places serving incredible duck soup with udon. Gabe’s expertise, passion, and patience open all these opportunities. You’ll also discover that Gabe is truly a wonderful person.Posted on heather KochinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hokkaido adventure guide Gabe did not disappoint infact the more we experienced Japans epic snow country and new terrain at 5 different MTs the more we valued Gabe’s knowledge on backcountry navigation, safety, and fresh tracks. He was chill and let it be our time our pace but always put safety first which we very much appreciated having teenagers eager to explore. He on for the entire day from early morning until after dinner making sure our needs are meet first. Traveling in his van and experiencing different places to stay and eat made each day a new adventure that we always looked forward to. We were so lucky to book our first time in Japan with a seasoned guide and get immersed in the beauty of Japan thru his planning. Highly recommend experiencing Japan with HA.Posted on Emily BeckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing vacation that exceeded our expectations. Gabe did a wonderful job of taking care of all the details and ensuring everything was covered on and off the slopes! While all the details were obviously planned well in advance, he was able to pivot when there were unexpected changes to the weather to enable us to take advantage of the best powder! We will be back for sure!Posted on Jim SlaughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a trip of a lifetime! What an amazing experience. Gabe is an incredible guide and an even better person. He found us the best snow, the best accommodations and lined us out with dinners that were not the usual tourist traps. We didn’t have to worry about anything. It was all taken care of. Gabe drove, guided, picked us up and took us to the airport. More importantly, he taught us about the Japanese culture and introduced us to Onsens which are an experience that will change you forever. As soon as I can I’ll be booking this trip again.Posted on Kirk ReinitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Gabe and Hokkaido Adventure, we had another magnificent Japow ski trip. Third trip for me and my sons first. Great guided ski trip, Gabe is very knowledgeable, and an accomplished skier in addition to being well trained in guiding a fun safe trip. The skiing and snow are amazing. Accommodations, transportation, restaurants and daily scheduling were enjoyable and hassle free. Highly recommended. 5 Stars👍 KirkPosted on Charlène BrochuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Looking for a turnkey ski trip to Japan? You’re at the right place.

Hey was een uitzonderlijk mooie week met een hoeveelheid poedersneeuw die zelfs in de afgelopen 20 jaar niet meer was voorgekomen in Japan. Gabe koos in overleg met ons om voor de sneeuw te gaan en dat heeft hij fantastisch gedaan. Perfecte poedersneeuw, zelfs na enkele dagen nog mooie spots met maagedelijke sneeuw. Veel dank.Posted on Joanna GayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had high expectations of Japan powder snow and when we arrived and skied for a few days our expectations were surpassed . We were very lucky to have fresh snow for the majority of our 9 days skiing . Gabe was a fantastic host / guide . We could totally switch off and focus on skiing and enjoying the holiday . Gabe was keen to give us as much experience of Japanese off piste and on piste skiing and the culture . The itinerary was full on so we maximised our time . Food and hospitality were amazing , much cheaper than expected and high quality . Our last 2 days sightseeing in Tokyo gave us enough time to recover from the skiing before we left to come home . Have to say I loved every minute of it and can highly recommend Gabe to create the experience you’re looking for . Our trip was full on as we requested but he will be able to adapt to what you want . I will be going back one day to see the cherry blossom in the spring and I’m sure to go back powder skiing again one day . Thank you GabePosted on Pete CropperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There isn't an option for 6 stars, but it's needed for Gabe and Hokkaido Adventure. If you want to experience Japow and explore what Hokkaido has to offer then look no further. Everything was perfect: Guiding, Accommodation, Restaurants, Onsens. Gabe was the perfect combination of a professional technical guide that clearly knows the best lines to ski in Hokkaido, combined with a great, fun guy to spend time with. Oh and he can take a mean photo too! So if you want to ski the best powder in Japan (the world?), ski up and down an active Volcano and generally have a trip of a lifetime then give him a call - you won't regret booking a trip with him.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
