Private and Custom Trips

We offer custom and private trips all year. If our scheduled dates don’t align with your availability, if you have specific preferences, or if you’re part of a group looking for a customized experience, we are more than willing to accommodate your needs. Simply reach out to us, and we’ll work closely with you to arrange a personalized solution. Contact us today to get started!

Specific Trip Information

Each trip we offer is accompanied by a detailed trip description, equipment list, suggestions for acclimatization and training, and a commitment to Leave No Trace principles. This valuable information is readily available on each trip’s webpage and will be promptly emailed to you upon booking. We hope that in anticipation of your trip, you will hungrily devour all the information you can in preparation. Please contact us with any questions. The more prepared you are, the better it will go!
