Custom Adventure Tours
Please note that we can design an adventure tour that meets your needs for difficulty level, location, duration, and of course for specific interests such as geology, botany, environmental science, cultural history.

We ask our participants to wear comfortable shoes. Running shoes are acceptable for most of our tours, while some hikers prefer sport sandals. However, we think that lightweight trail shoes/hiking boots are the best. The more ankle and arch support you have the better! We ask everyone to bring sunscreen lotion and your camera with plenty of film or a large capacity memory card. It’s also a good idea to have a hat and sunglasses with you.
We provide lightweight backpacks, but If you prefer your own, please bring it. Lightweight rain jackets are always good to have along in your backpack, just in case. We look forward to meeting you!
