Peace of mind and memorable moments!

Veltra is a first class tour company. They ensured my needs and the needs of the other climbers in the group were met. The guides clearly communicated the itinerary, meeting times, and expectations. Our safety was paramount. As a group we were well prepared. We had the correct gear to ensure a successful climb and memorable experience. Despite the less than favourable circumstances with the large number of other climbers they never complained or displayed a negative attitude. I felt confident in my guides climbing expertise and knowledge of climbing and the area.

Very Good

The group tour was very well organized from start to end.
Climbing Mt Fuji with a group tour is the best way to do it since logistically everything is taken care for you. Essentially, worry free.
It was worth it.

Great!

Reviewed by: AJ K, 2017/08/28

I had a lot of fun! My only complaint was that some people in the group were really rude and didn't follow the instructions. So maybe make the rules more strict?
Other than that, the guides were so nice and the views were incredible!

10/10 recommend

Reviewed by: Amanda Adams , 2017/08/19

My two guides were Billy and Rica and I fell in love with both of them. They were so kind and extremely attentive to the group and our needs. They are both very experienced mountaineers and it showed. I traveled alone and was quite nervous about gear rental, but the rental was better than what I had at home. It rained most of the hike, but I stayed warm and dry. Hiking Fuji was an experience I'll never forget and I'm so happy I chose this tour. NOTE: Fuji doesn't require hiking permits so it was very crowded. Expect the hike to take longer than anticipated.

Our tour was great! Everything is on schedule. the tour guide up the mountain was very cautious and did a great job guiding us - in especially when we got to the top - we were able to sit in the tea house until sunrise. I recommend Veltra!

A memorable climb :)

Reviewed by: Mariam, 2017/08/05

The schedule was great, no rushing whatsoever.
The local guides gave detailed instructions and reminded us as we climbed, eg hydrate, take small steps, take deep breaths, etc...
Billy , our guide was amazing , passipnate about his work.
There are lockers at station 5, large and snall ones.
It is much easier to buy water bottle than carrying some.there is a vending machine on the summit. Toilet cost 300.

Good experience!

I had a very nice experience on this mountain climbing tour. The guides are responsible, easy to communicate and professional. The schedule is also carefully planned, I had enough time to prepare myself to high altitude environment.

Incredible tour, well planned

Reviewed by: Jessie, 2017/07/31

Willer tour group (the one that Veltra partners with for the Mt. Fuji hike) was incredibly meticulous in making sure everyone was safe, taken care of, hydrated, fed, rested -- and gave crucial tips on our ascending and descending hikes that we otherwise would not have known.

An EPIC Lifetime Memory

Reviewed by: DAY-FAM, 2017/07/08

A trip shared by a family of four, could not have been better. Billy, Taka, Matius and others went out of their way to make this trip successful. This was an EPIC event which we will remember always. The challenges of the climb were so rewarded by the early morning summit experience. This trip should not be missed.

What an amazing Group!!

Amazing trip

Reviewed by: Susy Kawilarang , 2016/09/07

I booked this Mt. Fuji trip through Veltra last minute and the agents were very helpful and informative. Climbing Mt. Fuji is not easy but the guides from Willers Travel, all 3 of them, are so experienced yet so patient...we were the biggest group and some of us were first time climbers, many got altitude sickness, but none of us were left behind! We all made it back safely and happily. Our overall experience was amazing. Thank you. Will definitely use your service again next time.

Mt Fuji Climb

Reviewed by: Keran , 2016/08/31

From the moment we were collected from the moment we were dropped off, we felt thoroughly looked after, the instructions were clear and we were very lucky to have a group who were just as excited as we were!
Once we reached the 5th station we met our guide 'Yama' he was fantastic! Clearly enjoys his 'job' and had our safety at the forefront of his mind throughout our climb.
I'd highly recommend this tour....we are relatively fit, however still a huge challenge, as long as you are prepared, which you will be fully briefed on when booking...you'll have a blast!!

Memoriable experience

Reviewed by: John Ward, 2016/08/22

if you have the chance to do this climb, do it. It'll test you mentally, and physically. I was fortunate to meet some really good people during the climb. The climb is a slow and steady process and it allows you time to think and reflect. A special person whom I met on the climb reminded me that it is important to get out of your comfort zone and see yourself and the world in a different perspective. This climb is the formula to do just that.

Made great friends, whom I will miss.
