What is the Adventurers Expedition?

No all-inclusive trip. No comfy glamping.

This is a raw expedition for those who feel the call of the wild and want to feel truly alive.

With a small group of adventurers, you’ll be dropped into remote nature - far from trails and screens. You’ll navigate tough terrain, sleep under the stars, build a shelter and make fire.

A journey that strips life back to what really matters and reveals who you truly are.

UNFORGETTABLE

Climbing & abseiling

Scale raw rock faces and descend into the unknown. Push your limits, trust your gear and stand where few have stood.

Fishing & foraging

Catch what you eat. Find what the land gives. Slow down, pay attention and reconnect with the most basic way of living.

Packrafting

Paddle across mirror-still, glacial lochs with nothing but your packraft and nerve. Silence all around. Just water, wind and power.

Horseback riding
through valleys

Traverse wide, empty valleys on horseback the way explorers once did. Let the rhythm of the horse guide you deeper into the wild.

Outdoor cooking

No tent. No stove. Just a fire you made yourself and a shelter you built with your team. Sleep close to the earth and wake up more alive.

HIGHLIGHTS

For whom?

Adventurers who fully immerse themselves in the experience.

Outdoor lovers, athletes and thinkers craving physical challenge

Anyone ready for a real test – no luxury, no bullshit

FAQ

What's the difference between these expeditions and other adventure trips I find online?

Do I need prior survival skills or experience for these expeditions?

While prior experience is helpful, it’s not mandatory. We provide extensive pre-departure training to equip you with the necessary skills for each journey.

Preparation typically starts 3-6 months before departure, including physical training, team-building, skill workshops, and expedition-specific guidance.

Flights are usually not included, and travel insurance is required but must be arranged separately. We can advise on the best options for comprehensive coverage.

Expect a range from tents, snow caves, and jungle shelters to basic hotels or yurts, depending on the adventure level. Each expedition description specifies accommodations for your comfort preference.

Many participants join solo and build new connections. We also welcome pairs or small groups.

Cancellation policies vary, but we aim to be flexible. Full policy details are available upon booking. We also recommend trip insurance to protect your investment.
