Destination Backcountry Adventures

This is the best guiding company I have ever experienced. Wonderful and carefully crafted adventures. Wonderful guides. Outstanding food. You'll learn a lot as well, and you'll have great company and will make new friends! Big shoutout to Dave, Henri and Lauren! Hoping to go many more trips with them.

The best outdoor adventure company in NYC/Brooklyn. I've been on multiple trips with them. The owners are fantastic people. They communicate well to manage expectations & cater you individual needs. All the guides are well trained, top notch & just lovely people in general.

Really nice company to travel with if you want to have a relaxing day hike or get away for an entire weekend. They do some great trips out up into the Catskills. Dave and Jessica are very professional and knowledgeable. I would definitely book with this hiking tour group again.

This past weekend I went on great hike. I choose ones of the hardest trips they offer. I was fortunate enough to have been guided by Dave, Jess & Kristen; who happen to be the kindest people out there. We were also accompanied by a trustworthy dog named Winnie. We had done a strenuous 3 day hike(sat-mon) through the catskills. Our guides were patient and reassuring. They were well prepared with food and always had a supply of fresh cold water.nThey were also knowledgeable of the terrain, so at no point did we ever feel lost. Kristen was also super patient. There was ample supply of treats. Dave & Jess had prepared awesome dinners that was unexpected given that we were in the deep Forrest. Dave, if you read this, your asparagus & steak tacos was dope. We look forward to going on other hikes with them.

Just took my first backpacking trip with Dave & Jess and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. They were super friendly and knowledgeable, and took the time to teach us throughout the trip. The area was carefully chosen to get the most out of this time of year, and they adapt the food and activities to the group so that everyone can have an unforgettable experience. 10/10 would recommend!
