Day Trips

Join An Adventure

Explore the lakes, rivers and mountains around the Walla Walla Valley! Most of our destinations are less than an hour from town, giving us plenty of time to get outside for some exercise, get to know our small group of co-adventurers, and be back to town in time to wine and dine! Day trips include transportation from Walla Walla (and back), equipment, instruction (if needed) and fully guided tour. We adjust to the preferences of each group (from mild to wild!), but our default is to take an easy to moderate pace in order to stay together and soak up the scenery.

We can also customize most of these trips for your group of 3 or more - let’s talk and set something up!

*All trips run with a minimum of 3 or more participants.

*All prices are + Washington State tax
