Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or someone who needs a weekend away from the grind, we’ve got a trip for you.

You will discover beautiful places, learn invaluable skills and make real friendships by meeting fellow New Yorkers in a different setting. So if an afternoon in Central Park is feeling a little too crowded and you’re getting sick of the same old bars, come join us on one of our adventures and see why people keep coming back.

And don’t forget to look at our custom trips for corporate and private events. Organize a group of 12 and you can go for free!
