Reviews

Incredible! Had a few questions before hand and they were quick to respond. Extremely good at arranging it on WhatsApp and even provided transport. Then climbing was unreal. Would definitely book again.

I highly recommend Kookoo climb I highly recommend Kookoo climb! Xavi was easy to communicate with and quick to respond. He set me up with a guide (Carlos) who knew every crag in the Alicante region and curated the perfect experience during a very hot time of year. I couldn’t have been more happy with my experience.

Excellent climbing trip, A+ I did a week-long rock climbing trip with KooKoo in Costa Blanca, with Xavier guiding us. Before this trip, I had only done one other outdoors climbing trip in my life. Xavier and KooKoo excellently tailored the trip to my (and the rest of the group's) interests and experiences, making sure we always felt comfortable and safe, while also helping us excel and learn new skills on the rock walls. I completed the trip feeling comfortable doing lead climbing on my own, and even knowing the fundamentals of multipitch climbing. When not climbing, we were also very well taken care of, and provided with a beautiful villa to stay in, and additional experiences like morning yoga sessions. Highly recommend KooKoo!
