CUSTOM AND FAMILY BACKPACKING AND CANOEING TRIPS are built around your personal or group interests. Here is a personalized guided wilderness experience for individuals, groups, or families. We arrange the trip dates and location to suit your needs. We are glad to run Custom/Family trips in virtually any remote and wild corner of North America. In other words, feel free to fantasize about your ultimate dream trip…and we will arrange and run it for you!
Whether your interest is nature study, wildlife photography, fishing, scrambling to high summits, wilderness survival, navigation, relaxation, or perhaps an exceptionally rigorous expedition, Big Wild can provide you with the ultimate backpacking adventure.
For Family Trips with young children, we typically do a relatively short backpack into a base-camp and stay there for 2 or 3 nights, always near a beautiful lake, stream and/or other natural feature of interest. So we minimize pack-carrying and maximize camping and exploring on day-hikes without backpacks. This encourages youngsters to fall in love with the big outside without the burden of too much hard work. And we’ve taken families into the wilds with children as young as 5!
These are the total per-day trip prices for the group, not per-person.
