How fit do I need to be?

There are hiking and backpacking tours in the Grand Canyon to suit all skill and fitness levels, so even if you’re not an experienced hiker, there’s a trail for you. Your guides will help you choose the optimal terrain, and have the best possible hiking experience in the Grand Canyon. For beginner hikes, if you can walk for three to six miles with little elevation gain while carrying a daypack, you are good to go! Intermediate hikes will see more change in elevation and hikes will start to increase in length, hiking anywhere between four to eight miles while carrying a full daypack. Advanced hikes are full-day treks with steep descents and challenging switchbacks. Keep in mind that the weather in the summer can be very hot in the Grand Canyon and you’ll also be carrying a full daypack for your hiking trips, so expect a challenging day even for the most avid hikers

What do I need to bring?

Here’s a list of the equipment you need to bring: Day pack large enough to carry all the items listed (around a 25-40L bag) Hiking poles — optional Water bottle or hydration bladder (2L capacity) Lightweight hiking boots or shoes Spare clothes for layering Waterproof rain jacket Sunhat Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.) Headlamp or flashlight Sunglasses Camera — optional (but recommended) Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season. Layers are best and don’t wear jeans.

“Absolutely love this company and will certainly continue to be a regular from here on out! We did the 3 Waterfalls and 3 Peaks hikes on Oahu and I could not before pleased with our choices. We got 2 very different experiences that really showed multiple landscapes and were fun and challenging in their own ways. Make sure you are comfortable with a little climbing mixed in with your hiking…especially for 3 Peaks! This excursion is not for the faint of heart, but I highly recommend you not pass it up!”

Andy took us to Bell Rock to experience the vortex. He was a great guide and the hike was catered to us! Loved it and thank you Beth for loving your customers!

Linda Bauer

Tracy is so knowledgeable, she makes each event special. My daughter and I have taken the Grand Canyon Stroll, the Vortex tour and a trip to the cliff dwellings, the well and to the ranch. I have taken two other friends to her Grand Canyon Stroll. So worth it! So all in all I have “trekked” with Tracy each of my 3 recent trips to Sedona!

Iceland Hiking

Get to know the heart of the Alps and hit the high-altitude hiking trails around Mont Blanc. Starting and ending in Chamonix, you will learn why finishing the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc is more than 10 days of top-notch hiking with a backdrop of magnificent Alpine scenery. Enjoy the cultural, historical, and gastronomical aspects of the area located at the juncture of 3 countries and avoid the crowds (your guide knows the paths walked by few). Find out for yourself what makes this one of the world’s best treks!

Our trip begins in the mountain town of Chamonix, famous for being the adventure capital of the Alps. Located at the foot of Mont Blanc, its cobblestone streets breathe adventure while also exhibiting Alpine small-town charm combined with French sophistication. You will meet the rest of the group at 6pm at your hotel for a short trip briefing and gear check, followed by dinner. Get some rest for tomorrow, as that’s when our TMB adventure officially begins!

Meals: Dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Chamonix
*After a hearty breakfast, we will take a cable car connecting Les Houches with the Bellevue Plateau, during which we will get to enjoy the panoramic views of the Mont Blanc Massif. After crossing the suspension bridge at the foot of the Bionnassay glacier, your guide will choose the best route taking your group to Les Contamines. This usually includes passing the Col de Tricot (2,120 m / 6,955 ft), with a coffee stop at the Chalet de Miages at the foot of the mighty peak Dome de Miages (3,675 m / 12,055 ft), but a lower level route may be utilized. We will spend the night in a charming local 3* hotel in the French village of Les Contamines.

*Daily departures for hiking will be between 7 and 9am, depending on what time breakfast is served and on the length of the day.

Distance: 15 km / 9.3 miles
Ascent: 837 m / 2,746 ft
Descent: 1,520 m / 4,985 ft
Walking time: 6-7 hours
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: 3* hotel in Les Contamines
Day 3 begins with trekking up the old Roman road to the picture-perfect 17th-century church of Notre Dame de la Gorge. From here, our path goes uphill, past the Chalet de Barme (a perfect coffee stop!) and all the way to the Col de Bonhomme (2,328 m / 7,635 ft), where we will take our lunch break. Another climb—this time gentler—will take us to Col de la Croix de Bonhomme (2,478 m / 8,130ft), offering a great view towards the Vanoise National Park. After an additional 2 hours, we will have reached Les Chapieux, the location of our lovely chambre d’hôte (bed and breakfast).

Distance: 19 km / 11.9 miles
Ascent: 1,348 m / 4,450 ft
Descent: 960 m / 3,150 ft
Walking time: 8 hours
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: Bed and breakfast in Les Chapieux
We will take a newly-cut path up to Ville des Glaciers (in previous years the TMB took the tarmac road). There is usually the option to have a minibus transfer from Les Chapieux if you prefer (included), the leader will let you know about this. (If you have stayed at Bourg St Maurice or Courmet de Roselend, you will transfer directly to Ville des Glaciers). At Ville des Glaciers, we might have the opportunity to see how the Beaufort cheese is made. After passing Refuge des Mottets, we’ll start to climb more steeply up to our goal, the Col de La Seigne, at 2,516 m (8,255 ft), the 2nd highest pass on the Tour du Mont Blanc. We’ve reached the border with Italy! From here, we descend past the Elisabetta hut (we may divert here for lunch or coffee, depending on how we’re doing for time) and the Lac de Combal to La Visaille, where we take a bus to the vibrant mountain town of Courmayeur.

Distance: 21 km / 13 miles
Ascent: 1,004 m / 3,300 ft
Descent: 850 m / 2,800 ft
Walking time: 6 hours
Meals: Breakfast and dinner
Accommodation: Hotel in Courmayeur
We start the steep walk up to the Bertone hut and the Mont de la Saxe ridge. If the weather is good and there is not too much snow, we can take the lesser-travelled variant to the Mont de la Saxe ridge, up the Tête de la Tronche, and then down steeply to the Col Sapin. We then have a descent, followed by another climb to the Col Entre Deux Sauts—it’s a fairly long, but really stunning day, there are usually not many people, and the scenery is breathtaking! If the weather isn’t so good, or if you want a more relaxing day, you can take a fabulous balcony path from the Bertone hut to the Bonatti, high above the Val Ferret. It is a shorter day, but by no means a “second choice”, as the scenery is stunning.

Mont de la Saxe Route
Distance: 17 km / 10.5 miles
Ascent: 1,584 m / 5,200 ft
Descent: 940 m / 3,080 ft

Sailing & E-Bike - IslandHopping (EUR)

Few places in the world are as enticing for a summer holiday as the Mediterranean is. And there's no better way to explore these waters and islands than by hopping aboard a sailboat and discovering different islands every day. This 8-day sail & e-bike tour in Croatia does just that! Departing from Trogir, you'll pedal your way through the islands of Hvar, Brač, Vis, Šolta, and Korčula, and visit the world-famous Split. But cycling is not all you're going to do—there's going to be an optional rafting outing as well as plenty of swimming and tanning! A major focus of this tour is on the food, as your boat crew and your guides will make sure you taste Croatia's best-ofs. Ready for a sun-soaked holiday next summer?

Arrive individually by car to Trogir or by plane to Split Airport, just 6 km (4 miles) from the Trogir harbor. After check-in on the motor yacht between 2 and 2:30pm, we set sail around 3pm for the island of Vis, where we spend the night.
Vis is the outermost island from mainland Croatia. A Greek colony called Issa was established there 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategic location, it remained a military zone until 1995 and was off-limits to foreign tourists. Today, we have the opportunity to explore this beautiful island by bicycle. After our ride, the boat will take us to the island of Korčula, where we will spend the night in Vela Luka.

Distance: 20 miles / 32 km
Today, we explore the island of Korčula by bicycle, stopping for a lunch break at a local restaurant. Its tranquility, remoteness, lush vegetation, and cypress gardens have shaped what is likely the most beautiful Dalmatian island. Our cycling route takes us through the village of Blato—built on seven hills, much like Rome—along a scenic pass overlooking Pupnat Bay, and finally to Korčula town. There, we have time to stroll through the charming old town, known for its narrow, fishbone-like alleys. We spend the night in Korčula town.

Distance: 37.5 miles / 60 km

7-Day MTB in Verbier - MTB V (CHF)

Regardless of the trip duration, you’ll get the same things: accommodation at a chalet, all meals, expert local guides, lift passes, transportation during the tour, and more. This is a week-long getaway to Verbier, perfect for those wanting to take their time and truly take in the beauty of the Alps. We’ll stay at a gorgeous chalet in the mountains, have an in-house chef, and we’ll take you to the most spectacular trails of Verbier, totally tailored to your skill level.

Make your way to Verbier, you can check into the chalet from 4 pm onwards. Settle in, meet other guests at the chalet, make sure your bike is all set, and enjoy your first delicious dinner!
Let’s go for a warm-up ride in Verbier. We’ll be using lifts to go from 900 m (2,950 ft) to 2200 m (7,220 ft). From here, we’ll traverse or climb higher to a beautiful single trail to get used to the altitude and the trails of Verbier. We use a perfect mix of the bike park and natural enduro trails, so everyone has the opportunity to ride at their own level. We’ll give some riding tips and show you all the best photo spots! Depending on the level and speed of the group, we can do several uplifts per day. There is always the option to climb even higher, but the lifts in the area offer plenty of options and access to the best trails in the area.

Parnitha Mountain (EUR) per person

Join us for a day hiking tour to the gorgeous Parnitha mountain! Just an hour’s drive from Athens, our adventure starts in Thrakomakedones, offering panoramic views of the Attica region, including the majestic Immitos and Penteli mountains. We’ll hike for circa 5 hours, cover 10 km (6 miles), and gain 540 m (1,770 ft) of elevation. We’ll make sure to stop at the Flabouri hut as well as Kira spring, and our hike will come full circle as we return to Thrakomakedones! Return transfers to Athens are conveniently arranged as well.

Volcanic Trails (ISK)

This is a 5-day tour overflowing with Iceland's most spectacular volcanic wonders—wonders that will have you questioning if you're still on Earth. Accompanied by an expert, local guide, you'll have the chance to hike to the majestic Sveinstindur mountain, bathe in Iceland's famous hot pools, and explore lava forests and valleys along the way. Days are spent exploring these natural marvels, while nights are spent recharging and resting at authentic mountain huts. Transportation during the tour and all meals are included!

Meet your guide at 7:30 am at BSI Central Bus Terminal. Kick off the trip by driving along highland tracks, passing the majestic Hekla volcano and Fjallabak Nature Reserve. Drive through the Landmannalaugar area and let its multicolor mountains lead you towards the captivating Mt. Sveinstindur, nestled by the picturesque lake Langisjor.

As you ascend the peak, you will be treated to awe-inspiring views of the mountainous terrain all the way to the magnificent Vatnajokull Glacier. Following this exhilarating climb, descend down to a traditional hut on the opposite side—this rustic hut offers a genuine immersion into the Icelandic wilderness.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll find yourself at the enchanting Skaelingar area—a lava forest nestled near the Skafta riverbed. Here is where a rustic hut and outhouse facilities await, and where you will embrace the raw beauty of nature.

Hiking Kamikochi (JPY)

The Japanese Alps aren’t just a backdrop—they’re the main event. This trek launches from Matsumoto, where samurai once roamed, and sends us straight into the clouds along the legendary Panorama Ginza route. We’re talking steep climbs, razor-sharp ridgelines, and views so unreal they belong in a woodblock print. Nights in mountain huts above the clouds, views of cloud-kissed peaks, and a grand finale descent into Kamikochi? Absolute perfection. If you’ve ever wanted to earn your ramen with a week of heart-racing adventure, this is your ticket.

The trail starts with an easy hike heading south along the ridgeline, towards the summit of Mt. Otensho. The ascent of this mountain is steep, over loose rocks and gravel. Mt. Otensho is the highest peak on the Panorama Ginza route. After summiting, we will continue with several more descents and ascents towards Jonen, all the while enjoying views of the Japanese Alps.

Meals: Breakfast, dinner
Hiking: 10 km (6.2 mi), 7 hours
Accommodation: Mountain hut

See the Alpine wonders of France, Italy, and Switzerland in all their glory: crystal clear lakes, high cols, towering peaks, and quaint villages, just to name a few.
