CAMPING TOURS
Adventure at its wildest
The camping tours are the ultimate adventure tour. Travelling by custom adventure truck, and camping out at night, you can hardly get closer to nature. This journey is hands on, interactive, full throttle exploration, from tackling rugged trails to uncovering off-the-map wonders and immersing in local cultures. With a tight-knit crew of fellow pioneers as well as two experienced guides, camaraderie comes fast, and every day brings a new challenge worth taking. Flexibility, a willingness to participate, an awareness of the elements, and a desire for unlimited adventure, are essential in order to best absorb all these tours have to offer.
You can expect to be involved in the daily tasks for the group, which may include cooking, tidying, or setting up and taking down of camp, and other necessary chores. Group participation and camping out in the wilderness allows these tours to be kept at the best value possible.
