Our Wilderness Guides and Instructors are certified under the standards of the Professional Association of Wilderness Guides and Instructors (PAWGI).

Each guide must undergo a highly competitive recruitment process, and must demonstrate physical standards as high as those required to graduate from U.S. Navy SEAL Training.
