Travel boldly.

We run outrageous hiking, kayaking, and backpacking trips.

What makes Bad Adventures trips so great?

  • Real. Adventure. — Your itinerary will be jammed with hiking, paddling, stargazing, backpacking, and more.
  • Small Group Dynamic — We’re big on keeping things small. For most trips, the maximum group size is 10 or fewer awesome travelers + 1 or 2 amazing guides.
  • Solo Traveler Friendly — Our trips work well for couples, friends, and solo travelers. We tend to attract people you'll enjoy traveling with!
  • Scrappy & Happy — We're proud to be a small operator and love being able to get to know each of our guests. Our mission (seriously!) is to "Trick the rest of the world into letting us spend our lives leading adventures."
  • Amazing Guides — Our guides are experienced, personable, and always professional. We're also a lot fun!
