Custom Guided Experiences

Some of us go through life with a “Bucket List”, the things that we want to do in life, at least once. Well, perhaps the only thing holding you back on your Bucket List is, that you are not sure how to organize the adventure, or feel that you would have to have the expertise of a Professional Guide accompanying you, on your journey.

Perhaps we can offer a solution to this dilemma. Tell us what you would like to do, where you would like to go, and what sort of experiences, that you would like to have, and than we will do the rest. This might mean booking flights and transportation, travel logistics, permits, ort the actual trip details itself. It could also mean a wilderness chef, cooking your meals, and pampering you with the attention to detail, that create lasting life memories.

Let us help you, create a journey, as unique, as you are.

 

Some of the experiences that we have helped create to date are:

Volcano Summits at sunrise
Paddling with Humpbacks
Close encounters with the Spirit Bear

To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise, you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen who play with their boats at sea... "cruising" it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

"I've always wanted to sail to the south seas, but I can't afford it." What these men can't afford is not to go. They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of "security." And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine - and before we know it our lives are gone.

What does a man need - really need? A few pounds of food each day, heat and shelter, six feet to lie down in - and some form of working activity that will yield a sense of accomplishment. That's all - in the material sense, and we know it. But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, playthings that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade.

The years thunder by, The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed.

Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?
