What Our Travelers Are Saying...

Wild West Yellowstone

It's obvious that a whole lot of planning went into this trip. We saw many places that we would not have otherwise visited. The tour guide comments made the trip very educational as well so we came away with a greater knowledge of the history, geology and flora and fauna of the area. We especially appreciated your upbeat presentations and excellence.

Bit and Jan

Western Wonderland

You have certainly done your homework with the wonderful variety of places we visited in the last three weeks. The staff on both vehicles, were all extremely courteous and friendly. Your knowledge of plants, animals and places, indicate how dedicated you are. Thanks to all your staff, we have had a wonderful holiday.

Pam & Paul

Wildlife Expedition

Many thanks for a great trip – eight states in eighteen days – wow! We certainly covered to distances but also saw the many things off the beaten track. I particularly enjoyed Zion, the Navajo evening, Dove Fort, Salt Lake City, Jackson Hole and Badlands, bit it was all great. I hope to have the opportunity to travel with you again someday. All the best.

  • Custom group tours of the Western USA and Western Canada with itineraries based on traveler preferences, perfect for clubs, families and other small groups. Options range from variations on our standard itineraries to photography, hiking, wildlife, history, geology and other specialized interest schedules.
  • Locals supporting locals – we select unique, locally owned hotels and restaurants whenever possible. We are based in Oregon and have personally visited and checked out the sights, activities and accommodations offered on our tours.
  • Rugged, comfortable vehicles for off-the-beaten path exploration. Our Dodge and Ford Vans are suitable for less traveled roads that big buses can’t get to. Most are equipped with single seats that recline for comfort. A trailer for larger groups is available to carry luggage.
  • Guided travel tours are escorted by professional guides and knowledgeable drivers. For tours of 8 or more participants you will have two professionals traveling with you, making us a leader in the industry for personalized service and safety
  • Eco-conscious, we support the environment by following the “leave only footprints, take only pictures” mantra. Daily picnics with reusable dishes, a reusable water bottle gifted to every guest, conscientious hikes and respect for nature and Native cultures.

Some of our accommodations:

Whenever possible we utilize high-quality local accommodations instead of chain hotels.  In some location we reserve historic or rustic lodging, including inns and cabins, that are clean and unique. Many hotels also include a wonderful continental breakfast for our guests.
