HOW DIFFICULT AND FLEXIBLE ARE TRIP ACTIVITIES?

You don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to enjoy our trips. A typical day consists of a personally paced 5-mile hike or 20-mile bike ride. We’re flexible, though ”“ we’ll adjust distances and levels of difficulty up or down according to your abilities and desires.

HOW LARGE ARE YOUR GROUPS?

We promise an intimate experience with maximum flexibility and personal attention. On most trips, we take 2 guides and an average of 10 to 12 guests. On family adventures we can accommodate up to 18 guests with 3 guides. We are also experts at planning exclusive and custom trips ranging from 5 guests to 50 or more.

CAN I TALK TO SOMEONE WHO’S TAKEN A TRIP WITH YOU?

Absolutely. Our alumni are some of our best sources of information. Just give us a call and we’ll provide references for the specific trip you’re interested in.

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO RESERVE MY TRIP?

The farther in advance you book, the better selection of dates you’ll have. On most trips you’ll want to book 3 to 6 months out. For holiday trips, you’ll want to reserve 6 to 8 months out. Rest assured, though, we’re also masters at accommodating last-minute reservations!

WILL I HAVE TIME TO SPEND ON MY OWN?

Though our days are busy, there’s always downtime to shop, relax or visit the spa. At any time during your trip, if you feel like putting your feet up instead of opting for the day’s activities, that’s fine. This is your vacation!

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE AND DO YOU OFFER CHILD DISCOUNTS?

On adult trips, our minimum age is 16. On designated family adventures, we accommodate children as young as 7 (age 6 for Yellowstone & age 5 on our Costa Rica Family Adventures). Children who share accommodations with one or more adults will receive discounts of 10 – 25%, depending upon the trip.
