Not just a tour. An adventure built around you.
From our base in Petoskey, we lead private off-road trips through forests, along rocky coastlines and up to ridgelines most people never reach. Day trips or multi-day expeditions, local or long range. We handle the vehicle, the gear, the food and the route. All you need to bring is your sense of adventure.

Stories from
the trail
I got stuck while delivering for work on an icy hill drive and couldn't go anywhere. One call and less than 30 minutes later Spencer was there to hook up a strap and pull me up the hill. No sliding or struggle, and no hassle! 10/10 would call again!
I got stuck in my apartment parking lot. Spencer saw me and immediately helped me out. Definitely a life saver moment. Great people and service.
