Why Big World Explorers

Adventure, minus the planning headache

🧭

Guided, not herded

Small groups of 8 to 12. Real guides who know the route, not a bus tour with a clipboard.

πŸŽ’

We sweat the logistics

Permits, campsites, meals, water strategy. We plan it so the only thing you carry is your pack.

🀝

You'll leave with friends

Our trips draw curious, low-ego people. Some of them you'll be hiking with for years.

"You know you're in good hands when you travel with Steve and Gabe! They are very organized and plan everything down to the smallest detail. They feed you these gourmet meals and organize small fun activities in the middle of your big adventure. You come back happy and rejuvenated, and feeling like a kid again!"

"I've been part of several outdoor adventures with Steve and Gabe. They are truly passionate about hiking, nature, wilderness. They are very conscientious of their clients' abilities and able to tailor a fun time for anyone. I would definitely recommend booking a future adventure with them."

"Steve and Gabe are amazing! No matter the adventure, you'll have a great time and meet interesting people. My 11 year old kid enjoyed the adventure and I like that we can do these things together."

The wild is still out there.
