Our decision to move forward with trip planning is not in any way minimizing the seriousness of COVID. In fact, being that our founder has asthma, we take the risks incredibly seriously which is why we have created modifications & added COVID protocols to our event operational plans.

Getting outdoors and human connection is essential for our physical and mental health. COVID is not going away anytime soon, but the good news is that we understand it better now than we did at the beginning and will continue to learn more as we move forward. 

Your safety is our #1 priority and therefore we will be following the recommended guidelines and those required by any of our guide partners.

International trips may require vaccinations and boosters if mandated by the country we are traveling to.

Please read our COVID protocols here on our FAQ page prior to registering as all attendees will be expected to follow the posted COVID protocols. PLEASE NOTE: These guidelines may change as the events get closer and local, state, federal recommended guidelines change. The pandemic is a dynamic situation that is evolving, as such we reserve the right to change our policies as new information becomes available.
