Is This You?
You want a full day in the landscape — enough time that the walk stops being an outing and becomes the day itself. You’d like to cover more ground, go deeper into the forest or further along the coast, and share it with someone who knows where the quiet places are. A couple, a family, the kids or a solo walker ready to give a day to it.

Hike Reflections
“My two teenage sons had such a fantastic time with Didier on their 3 day teen hike, that we decided to join him on a family private day hike. It was a wonderful family activity, Didier has the ability to connect with everyone.

Q&A - Questions I am frequently asked
Yes. Your family hike is private and tailored entirely to your personal goals, pace and comfort level.
I am very experienced in guiding groups of beginners and overcoming any barriers.
Due to the our pre-hike conversation, where we will discuss your goals, needs and any concerns, I am very experienced in listening and assessing a groups capabilities and planning the hike around the group and individual needs.
I will assist your group to be prepared for the hike, no matter the weather. South Coast weather conditions can change quickly, and must be expected. Hikes will continue unless conditions become dangerous. I am very experienced in guiding groups through severe weather during multiday hikes.
