Scroll down to see all of our events that are open to registration by individuals seeking economy and companionship on group adventures. Min. 3 participants; max. 8.

Important Information

These adventures are designed for active folks who have had little or no experience in the recreational activity offered, although all levels are invited. The pace will be relaxed to allow time for skills instruction and exploring nature. Exact location is guide's choice depending on a number of conditions at the time. Backpacks, dry bags, and other gear are available to rent, if not included in the price. See descriptions for more details. Policies and Procedures apply.
