Maximum Destination Time to Driving Time/ Tour Flexibility
We know riding in the car all day to any spend an hour or two at your destination is a drag. We design our tours for you to experience the maximum and ride on the highway the minimum.
Utmost Guide Quality
Our hiring process is VERY selective. We select guides that are educated in geology, biology, environmental studies, outdoor recreation, or photography AND/OR experienced as guides at local venues. We ONLY choose guides that have a genuine passion for the outdoors and an interest in environmental protection.
Genuine Off-the-Beaten-Path Sights:
Our camping tours destinations are never commercialized “tourist traps”. They are always bona fide wilderness areas, national parks, national forests, national monuments, wildlife refuges, or at least isolated BLM desert. Very rarely will lines or crowds ever be involved in our tours unless a commercialized area is specifically requested by the tour group.
Excellent Camp Cuisine
Our food is the kind of food you would prepare for your own dinner table. We’ll stop short of calling it gourmet but for a camp setting it might as well be! It typically includes a meat (chicken, steak, pork) with a vegetable or two and a starch. We can also accommodate special dietary concerns with little effort. Consider where you get to eat it too!! You’ll be dining overlooking views captured by no restaurant on earth!
Freedom of Activity
While you are not granted unlimited wandering, the freedom factor versus other tours is much greater. We have satellite messengers or radios and handheld GPS which you can use for safety. Most planned hikes will be guided, but if you want to hike up to the top of the hill behind the camp with your loved ones to watch the sunset before dinner, this can be done with a few minor provisions.
Setting Your Own Pace
You will never be in a hurry on a DST tour unless you want to be. This is why pace is considered a planning criterion. We think most people go on vacation to relax. We strive to maintain an ultra-relaxing environment in camp and on the road.
Deeper Interaction with Guide and Environment
Because our company focus is on quality over quantity, because our guides are highly educated and/or experienced, and because you have so much more time overall as well as at the destination, deeper interaction is possible. We encourage as much ground level interaction and learning as possible. Spatially, our vehicles are much more personal than the shuttle bus/divider type so that even on the road our guides are there for you.
Overall Experience and Value
Whether you are interested in a day tour, week long camping tours, or something in-between, our goal is to offer more value, more service, more nature and more experience to you. Don’t get caught in the tourist trap! Demand more for your dollar! We are certain that if our average customer tried to replicate our camping tours on their own, they would find it not only more expensive in the long run, but also not as interesting, involved, or informative, and much more laborious, frustrating, unsafe, and time consuming.
