"Best Adventure Travel Company on Earth," Two Years In A Row!

National Geographic ADVENTURE Magazine surveyed more than 200 outfitters and travel companies for their feature, "Best Outfitters on Earth." They categorized each outfitter based on their specialty, (ours was hiking and trekking), and then scored them based on various categories including education, high adventure, level of service, client references, and sustainability.

Our high overall scores, in every category, landed us within the top ten best hiking and trekking outfitters on the planet-two years in a row! We received the highest scores in Quality of Service, Spirit of Adventure, and Client Satisfaction.
