Written on November 7th, 2024Beware of the $100 cancellation fee that they take NO MATTER WHAT! I paid the $250 deposit for a trip 9 monhts away,and had to cancel two weeks later. No one …Read moreWildland Trekking commented on this review
Thank you for providing your input and I am very sorry you disagree with our cancellation policy. You began registering for this tour several times, NOT through TourRadar, starting in July but finally made your deposit payment in mid-October (also not through TourRadar), that is correct. You did agree to the cancellation policy twice. The first time when you made the $250 deposit payment as well as agreeing to it when you completed our full terms and conditions. We are very transparent with our policies which are also located on our website. Payment Schedule: $250 per person deposit is required to secure your spot. The final balance is due 60 days prior to your trip start date. Full payment is due at the time of booking for day hikes and for multi-day trips starting 60 days or less from today. "The Following is Applicable to Participant Cancellation of a Multi-Day Trip: • If a Participant (or Participant Group) cancels or leaves a Trip for any reason 60+ days prior to the first date of the Trip as identified in the published Trip itinerary, a full refund minus $50 per person will be issued if Participant cancels within 10 days of his or her first payment. After 10 days from Participant’s first payment, we will retain a $100 per person cancellation fee." Costs for trips begin once any reservation is made: Adventure Consultants' time fielding questions, making the reservation(s), cancelling the reservation(s)...etc. Our guest support review the registration information and (in some cases) contact guests to ask questions, clarify the demands of the trip, make training recommendations and more. This normally begins within 2 days of a new booking. Our lodging manager readies the request for securing campsites (even if it's months away) so that date is reserved on our end and the application can't get missed. Our logistics crew is continually syncing current reservations with capacity so we can be 100% there will be no problems accommodating additional guests. So when someone books, they make adjustments, and when someone cancels, they make adjustments. Our policies are clear and threatening social media posts to get your way is generally not received well. Best, Ann Marie- LC

Written on September 19th, 2023My brother and I were scheduled to take this tour in Oct. We live on opposite coast, so we were ecstatic about the tour and being together. We’re both in our …Read moreWildland Trekking commented on this reviewHi Theresa, we understand your frustration and disappointment. We are also disappointed by this outcome. Last minute injuries and emergencies are a very unfortunate aspect of travel planning. We strive to always operate with transparency and professionalism, and have refined our terms and conditions over the last 18 years to be fair to Wildland guests and to the organization. More than 60 days before the trip start date we offer up to a full refund or transfer. Due to the timing of expenses, advanced staffing processes, the turning away of guests when spots are reserved, and other reasons we do not offer refunds or transfers within 30 days of the trip start date. We are clear about this in all of our marketing materials, and we always strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your investment. We wish you and your brother the very best in your future travels and in life. Scott Cundy Co-founder - JH

Questions & Answers
What if I have Dietary Restrictions?
If you have any diet restrictions or preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, non-gluten, kosher or Atkins, please tell us before hand and we will accommodate your dietary wishes and needs.
Is it ok if I have never backpacked before?
We do not expect any prior backpacking or even hiking experience, however backpacking can be a physically demanding activity. All of our trips are differentiated by level of difficulty. While planning your trip we will work with you to determine the right trip for you based on your physical abilities, experience, and desire (difficulty of 1-5, 1 being easiest, 5 most difficult). We recommend starting an exercise routine several weeks to several months prior to your trip date, especially if you live at or near sea level. Many of our trips are at higher altitudes (7,000 feet up to 14,000 feet), demanding at least a modest level of cardiovascular fitness.
What first aid and safety precautions do you take?
Your safety is our top priority, followed by fun and comfort. All of our hiking guides are very experienced in the mountains and canyons. We require all of our guides to be certified as Wilderness First Responders or EMT's and to have years of wilderness and guiding experience. On all of our multi-day tours the hiking guide also carries a satellite phone.
Will my guide know about natural and cultural history?
All of our hiking guides are very knowledgeable about the history of the areas they guide in. You will have the option to learn about the natural and cultural history of the region you are venturing into. There is a tremendous amount of fascinating history to learn about if you're interested, so just let your guide know how much you want to know!
Do you provide transportation
All multi-day hiking tours in the Grand Canyon, Havasu Falls, Utah, Yellowstone, and Rocky Mountain National Park include transportation from the town of origin to the trailhead and back (excluding Phantom Ranch, Havasu Falls Summer, and Mule-assisted Grand Canyon Classic tours at the Grand Canyon)
What Equipment / Clothing will I need?
Every trip requires sturdy hiking shoes or boots, weather-related clothing, raingear, a headlamp or flashlight, personal items, and the ability to carry 2-3 liters of water (water bottles or hydration bladders).
Where should I leave my car or luggage?
Many of our guests leave their vehicles and luggage at their hotel while they're in the backcountry. We also have offices with attached warehouses in Flagstaff, Arizona and Bozeman, Montana; you're more than welcome to leave vehicles and luggage at one of these locations if you're doing a Grand Canyon, Havasu Falls or Yellowstone Tour. Please note: if you're leaving a vehicle, it will be parked on the street in front of the warehouse, and we don't take responsibility for its security.
Where does my trip begin and how do I connect with my guide?
When you register for a hiking trip you will receive an information packet that details when and where you will meet your guide and group for a pre-trip orientation. For multi-day hikes, this meeting normally takes place in the evening the day before the start date. At this meeting you will prepare for your upcoming adventure. This meeting takes place at the following locations (for all trips not listed, we notify guests of meeting location upon registration): Grand Canyon Tours: 5:00 PM in Flagstaff, Arizona (Mule-assisted Classic and Phantom Ranch tours meet at 5:00 PM at the South Rim) Havasu Falls Tours: 5:00 PM in Flagstaff, Arizona. Utah Trips: 5:00 PM in St. George, Utah Yellowstone Tours: 6:00 PM in Bozeman, Montana Beyond Yellowstone Trips: 5:00 PM in Jackson, Wyoming Yosemite Tours: 5:00 PM in Half Dome Village in Yosemite Valley Sequoia-Kings Canyon: 5:00 PM at the Lodgepole Visitor Center or in Three River, CA Rocky Mountain National Park: Estes Park, Colorado at an agreed upon time Great Smoky Mountains: Asheville, North Carolina at an agreed upon time
