Outdoor Leaders

“One of the most memorable parts of my trip was the amazing experience I had with our tour guides. John and Hayley truly went above and beyond to make the trip enjoyable, informative, and fun. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendliness brought each destination to life and made every day something to look forward to. Without them, the trip wouldn’t have been nearly as special. They created such a welcoming and positive atmosphere that made the entire group feel comfortable and engaged. I’ll always remember how much their presence added to the overall experience.”

“The inclusivity and accessibility was the main reason why I chose to go with Wilderness Inquiry, and the guides truly followed through with it. I felt very encouraged to go my own pace, listen to my body, and do what I needed to do. Because that was encouraged, I actually ended up doing better, because I wasn't pushing myself like I normally do.”

“Charlie and Annalee far exceeded my every expectation. I don’t think there was a single moment that we were not having fun… They tailored the trip to the group's needs at every step and constantly went above and beyond. They were the perfect duo and amazing role models for our kids. 100/10 I could not recommend this enough and will be talking about the trip forever.”

“Your thoughtful attention to every detail is what truly set this trip apart—from the meals and accommodations to the outstanding guides. Gracie and Brianna were especially memorable. They brought so much fun and energy, while also being conscientious about our safety, attentive to the unique needs of each participant, and incredibly knowledgeable about the weather and the Apostle Islands.”

“The Wilderness Inquiry program is one of a kind. The staff is well trained and conducts themselves with passion and professionalism. We enjoy working with them every year providing local students with a rare opportunity to paddle the Harlem River, something they will remember the rest of their lives.”

“Our trip leaders, Jay, Breanna, and Trevor, were exemplary, professional, thoughtful, considerate, helpful, and any other adjective that would be an apt descriptor for someone who made an experience the best it could be. I am certain we are not alone in our opinion. What a great organization you have!”
