The views were amazing and the hike was perfectly suited to the age-range of hikers and the distance we were looking to go! I’ve done many hikes with Get Outside and it’s always a fun day in the mountains discovering new trails and having many laughs!

Get Outside far exceeded my expectations on our guided back packing trip through Iceline Trail. The guide, Sarah, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area, history, and backpacking how to. The pace was perfect and accommodating for everyone. The meals were absolutely delicious. The scenery was breathtaking. I'm hooked. I can't wait to book with them again for next season. I can't recommend them enough.

Rachel and Cole were our wonderful guides for our 7 day 6 night women's only trek. As advertised it really was the hike of a lifetime and had been on my 'bucket list' for many years. We were so fortunate to have had great weather, not the typical mud slog on the rainy west coast of Vancouver Island. The days were long but the help along the way certainly eased the weight of my heavy pack. I didn't listen enough to Get Outside's recommendations to keep my pack weight as low as possible. Getting the pack assist from the guides and my fellow hikers on difficult sections certainly boosted my morale and exemplified their kindness. Every day our guides got us fresh filtered water, prepared our delicious one pot meals, including a dessert, washed all of the dishes, took care of the storage of all our food items in the bear lockers and had fresh coffee brewed for us by 6:45 in the morning! They were experienced guides and Cole had just finished the WCT hike the previous week with another group. Rachel was like a gazelle clamouring over the rocks and driftwood with her 50+ pound pack always giving us encouragement and good job comments. We were regularly advised in advance of the next days schedule so we could be up and ready to go. The new WCT app created by BlueDefendr is awesome in helping with preparation and details on the ladders, fresh water supply, etc.
Get Outside emailed a suggested exercise program well in advance and gave us a detailed kit list in order to prepare for the hike. The participants were varied in age (from 17 years old to me as the oldest at 69) and experience but we all loved the trip and hope to go on more guided trips with Get Outside in the future.

I usually backpack solo but I am so glad I decided to walk this trail as a guided trip with Get Outside. The West Coast Trail hands you a different challenge every day and our two amazing guides, Rachel and Cole, made sure we were ready for it. They provided strategies for handling the various types of terrain we encountered and expertly handled all the details like tide times, route selection, campsite selection, daily departure times, meal planning and preparation (the food was SO good!!!), etc. It was liberating for me to leave the details to them and walk with a clear mind, focusing on the beauty of the trail. Each person in our group brought their unique perspective to the trail and getting to know each of them made my own journey even more special.

I enrolled in the one day navigation course - excellent information. We also did hike using navigation skills. The group was small, and there was lots of individual attention. Thanks Jenna - great experience. Deb

This course was excellent!! In less than 8 hours, I went from knowing nothing about navigation except "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" to knowing how to use a map and compass!!
Our instructor, Jenna, was super knowledgeable, well-spoken, and patient with everyone. She made it all make sense, even to someone like me who had never seen a topographic map before and could get turned around even when i have GPS talking me through it.
The course started with a few hours of classroom work (I wish more of my classes had been available on a patio in Canmore), and then a moderate hike where Jenna made each of us demonstrate that we were able to apply what we had learned in class to the outdoor landscape. Throughout the hike, Jenna added tips and tricks and outdoor trivia that made the hike both educational and entertaining. I had a great time. I came home exhausted and happy and full of new knowledge that I couldnt wait to use again.
I will definitely be taking more training and hikes with Jenna and her team in the future. I have already signed up for the Intro to Backpacking course and am super excited about it!

I went on an amazing guided 5 day backpacking trip on the Rockwall trail. Our guide was super knowledgeable, patient, and fun to be with. She prepared delicious and unexpected meals and took great care of the whole group. Would absolutely recommend to anyone who is interested in getting deeper into backpacking with a group!

I did the west coast trail in July of 2023 and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I had Sara and Heather as my guides, and they were phenomenal. I was able to trust them and feel safe, they worked very well with me and my strengths and areas I needed to work on. I smiled so dang much, created some epic once in a lifetime memories and truly had an amazing time. I didn't want it to be done as it was that stupendous. I cannot recommend them enough!

The woman’s beginner backpacking overnight trip was fantastic. Our guide, Rachel was supportive and very knowledgeable, encouraging us to try out our equipment and ask questions. The food was delicious and tailored to the needs of the campers. And of course the scenery was beautiful. I will be booking another trip with Get Outside! Thank you!

She is a great part of the Get Outside team. I'm happy to hear you had fun leaning how to navigate with a map and compass.
