At Guided Outdoor Adventures, weāre building one of the UKās most trusted communities of qualified Mountain Leaders, Hill & Moorland Leaders, Lowland Leaders, Cycling Guides, SUP Coaches, Climbing Instructors and outdoor professionals.
Our mission is simple:
To connect people with the outdoors,Ā safely, confidently, and inclusively, through the skill, passion and expertise of leaders like you.
If youāre qualified, insured and want more opportunities to lead walks, challenges and adventures across the UK, weād love to welcome you.
You create the event, location, date, start time, distance, grade and description.
It can be anything from a gentle local walk to a big mountain challenge.
Youāre never tied to minimum hours or commitments.
List one event or many, whatever suits your schedule.
Your event appears on our website, region pages and search filters so walkers and groups can find it easily.
If your event sells, you lead it and receive payment.
If it doesnāt sell, nothing happens ,no fees, no penalties.
You decide: where you guide, what you offer, how often you list events, whether to accept or decline private guiding enquiries.
We simply provide the platform.
This isnāt a job or contracted work.
Itās a platform to showcase your skills and reach people who want professional, safe and supportive outdoor experiences.
Guides typically use GOA to:
list occasional or regular guided walks
build experience with group leadership
run challenge days
promote cycling or climbing sessions
support corporate wellbeing events
Youāll be part of a friendly network of qualified leaders, with a place for your events to be discovered ā without needing to manage your own full website.

We believe guides should earn fairly from their experience and hard work. That is why our pricing is transparent and kept as low as possible.
Platform fee
5 percent commission on each booking.
Booking fee
Ā£1.50 per booking, paid by the customer.
There are no subscriptions, no hidden costs, no upsells and no confusing structures. Just a clear, supportive model that helps you earn more while we handle the marketing.
āA few months ago, myself and Julia set up a collaboration. Since then, my customer enquiries and bookings have gone up, and lots of it has been linked back to Julia.
Julia has been extremely supportive and helpful. Sheās proactive, motivated and always makes time to chat through ideas. If anyone deserves recognition, she does.ā
This feedback means the world because it represents exactly what we want to build: genuine relationships, shared success and a community of leaders who feel supported.
