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.

ARE THE HIKING AND BIKING DISTANCES THE SAME ON FAMILY TRIPS?

To accommodate our youngest guests, family hikes and bike rides are typically shorter and easier. Our guides are happy to keep children entertained while adults/teens opt for a challenging hike, bike ride, etc. – distances and levels of difficulty for adults and teens are easy to adjust.

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.
