The Green Earth Outdoors Difference
We make your outdoor adventure personal.Every Green Earth Outdoors adventure begins with you and your desire to get outside. Every aspect about your adventure is important to us. When you inquire or register for one of our trips or programs, we will take the time to give you first-hand knowledge about your trip, the destination, the activities, how to prepare for your trip and what you will need to bring.
Personal Service
At Green Earth Outdoors, we make it a point to give each client the personal service they deserve. The person you work with to plan your trip is the same person who will be with you along the trail, on the water or in the mountains. As a personalized guide service and training provider, we are with you every step of the way. The reason we do this is simple - to ensure you have the best experience possible. From pre-trip planning until you arrive back home, we are there with you.
Unique Adventures
Green Earth Outdoors is a personal guide service and training provider, so each trip or program is about you (and the environment). No two adventures are alike. Whether it's the accommodations, schedule, activity level, group size, experience level or how much time you can give, we tailor each trip to your specific needs and provide a personal guide to take care of all the details. From exciting mountain expeditions to quiet canoe trips, we have the experience and expertise to take you to destinations throughout North America-and in many cases to destinations other travel companies do not feature. Whether you have two weeks or just two days or something in between, we can put together an adventure that fits your schedule. Getting outside and enjoying the wild is always worth it, so we want to make sure you get all you can and your time is well spent.
All-inclusive Expeditions
We understand your plate is already full. If you're a parent, youth leader or corporate manager and want a unique vacation or program to offer but don't have the time to plan it and arrange the details, we are here for you. From the time you contact us to after you return home, Green Earth Outdoors is there to make your trip go smoothly. Our turnkey service can handle all the details from your daily itinerary to the food you eat. We take care of every detail of your adventure to ensure a memorable experience. With the exception of your personal items-for which we will provide guidance on what to bring all you need to do is show up ready for some fun! We'll take care of the rest.
Better Equipment
On all of our trips and programs we use only the highest quality outdoor equipment from reputable manufacturers with consideration always given to products that are made with environmentally friendly materials and methods. Each piece of equipment is inspected prior to and after each use to ensure proper functionality and is routinely maintained. Equipment is rotated out if it ever becomes damaged or nears its useful life. From group equipment provided on trips to the personal equipment we rent and sell our customers, we go out of our way to provide you with the best gear available.
Active or Not, You Decide
Whether you're looking for a relaxing outdoor vacation with plenty of down time or something that will challenge you or your group to reach new heights, Green Earth Outdoors can tailor trips and programs to your specific needs. From placid canoe trips to challenging backpacking expeditions, our trips are designed to match your desired activity level for a seamless blend of planned activities and freedom.
Choose Your Comfort Level
For many, the desire to get outside is there but concerns about comfort or safety may prevent some from taking the first step. Our goal at Green Earth Outdoors is simple: to share with others the beauty, challenge and benefits of spending time outdoors in a responsible manner. We are here to help you take that first step by providing you with personalized service, making accommodations where possible and practical, sharing honest and accurate information, and demonstrating an utmost concern for your comfort and well-being. Unlike traditional travel companies where nearly every aspect of a trip is generally inflexible, we will do our best to help you fully enjoy the outdoors.
Experience Not Required
Outdoor activities are naturally inclusive and open to anyone to enjoy, regardless of your experience level. At Green Earth Outdoors, we understand this and welcome anyone who shares our desire to be outside. Granted, some trips may require certain prerequisite skills and experience, but there isn't much about the outdoors that can't be taught or learned. Our trip leaders are mentors and teachers that have a unique passion for the outdoors and patiently sharing it with others. This dedication and passion will make your journey that much more valuable. Contact us if you have any questions about your ability to participate in a trip or program and we can help you prepare and get the most out of your adventure.
Support for Local Business
In addition to the adventure and friendships we make, nothing makes a trip more meaningful than embracing the people and culture of the places we visit. From transportation to accommodations, we make every effort to support local businesses. We want to create a meaningful cultural exchange with the local people and treat them and their community with respect. It not only creates a positive travel environment, but it makes each adventure truly special.
Food For Thought
Every adventure requires food to fuel your ambition. Green Earth Outdoors understands this beyond the molecular level. We bring to every trip our cooking creativity that includes local, natural and organic options whenever possible. Every participant is surveyed before the trip to understand food choices, allergies, and culinary preferences (vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, etc.). Good food and creative preparation always adds to the entire experience.
