I went on a 3-day camping and hiking trip led by REI's travel company — here's why I recommend REI Adventures to anyone

• REI doesn't just sell outdoor gear — it also offers excursions across the world via its travel company, REI Adventures .
• REI Adventures has more than 250 guided trips for a variety of activity levels, durations, and activities.
• I attended a trip to Pinnacles National Park and was impressed with the entire experience REI curated.

My alarm jostled me awake at 5 a.m. PT, around the same time I'd usually wake up on the East coast. But instead of getting dressed for work, I layered up in comfortable gear, made sure my daypack had enough water in it, and rolled out of my tent, ready as I would ever be for a sunrise hike in Pinnacles National Park. 

I owed this unique opportunity to REI Adventures , the travel company arm of outdoor co-op REI , which has been guiding adventure seekers and outdoor enthusiasts on these trips since 1987. This hiking and camping excursion through one of the country's newest national parks is just one of the many outdoor adventures it offers around the world. 

If the idea of an "outdoor adventure" sounds intimidating or intense, don't be discouraged. REI Adventures offers trips for a wide variety of activity levels, durations, and activities, so you can find one that suits your comfort level and interests. The more important point is to get you outdoors ( your body and mind will thank you for it ) with less hassle and work. 

See below for a glimpse into what my experience was like on an REI Adventures trip through Pinnacles National Park. At the end of this review, I've also included answers to a series of FAQs such as how long each REI Adventures trip is and how much it costs to attend.  

After arriving at the park, we jumped right into the sunny afternoon with a five-mile hike.

Our group of nine people total (seven participants and two guides) traversed mountainous terrain, stopping to admire distinctive rock formations and attempt to spot the elusive California condor. We learned a bit about the history of the park, its geography, and its notable features. 

With our first hike checked off and our bodies sufficiently warmed up, we drove back to the campground to set up camp. Everything for our trip fit in this van and small trailer.

Packed into the trailer were tents, cooking equipment, food supplies for all three days, and camping chairs. 

The guides showed us how to set up our tents, which were surprisingly easy to assemble, even for a novice like me.

I haven't camped in at least 10 years, so I was a little nervous about having to set up my own tent. But thanks to the clear direction of our guides and the simple design of the tents, I had my humble abode set up in no time.

In case you're wondering, we slept in these airy REI Co-op Kingdom 4 Tents ($399). Since I don't camp often, I appreciated that these were provided to us. I wouldn't use it enough if I bought one for myself, and I also have nowhere to store it in my own apartment. 

They also provided us with sleeping pads, small personal tables, and a woven mat to make the tent feel more comfortable. It was a nice and thoughtful touch.

The guides are expert camp cooks and have all the equipment and food supplies necessary to make delicious meals ...

... which meant everyone else in the group got to sit back and enjoy a drink by the campfire as we rested from our hike.

I wouldn't mind helping make dinner, but I have to admit it also felt great not worrying about any of our meals throughout the trip. Our main task that evening was to be on the lookout for wily, hungry raccoons. 

And all the meals were amazing. I didn't expect to eat this well on an outdoors trip, where I'm usually getting by on dried meats, squished sandwiches, and mysterious stews.

Our first dinner included salad, salmon, pork loin, and potatoes.

If you have food restrictions or allergies, don't worry — our guides were careful and attentive about concerns like keto or dairy-free diets in our group and always had alternatives available. 

Seriously, I don't even eat breakfasts this balanced and filling at home.

Not having to prepare food, then filling ourselves with the delicious meals, meant we had plenty of energy to attack each day's activities. The guides also carried snacks and prepared picnic-worthy lunch spreads during our hikes. 

Of course, our guides were more than excellent cooks. Having personally scouted destinations and led countless trips before us, they were experts — professional, friendly, and energetic to boot.

I felt confident in their capable hands as they led us through noteworthy parts of the park, and I learned a lot about the wildlife and geology of Pinnacles. The guides are also great resources for types of outdoor gear you should carry, cool parks and hikes around the world, and other tidbits of outdoors knowledge. 

They showed us different rocks ...

... exposed us to woodsy areas that made Pinnacles feel like a completely different park ...

... and took us into the dark and exciting caves that Pinnacles is so well known for.

On the morning of the last day, we embarked on a short sunrise hike to Bear Gulch Reservoir, where we enjoyed breakfast and some quiet time.

It's not often I can watch the sun rise and listen to the birds and other animals come alive in the morning, so I relished the respite from city life. 

Overall, I also enjoyed the company of my group.

When you go on a trip with REI Adventures, chances are you'll be traveling with like-minded people. Everyone may have different backgrounds and interests in different outdoor activities, but you're ultimately bonded by a love of the outdoors. 

REI says that half of its trip participants are solo travelers, so trips are an excellent opportunity to meet new people. There are also friends, couples, and families who travel together. 

The bottom line: Explore the outdoors with REI Adventures.

Thanks to these standout features from my experience, I wouldn't hesitate to go on another trip through REI Adventures.

• The guides:  The organization, expertise, and friendliness of the guides are everything. They make the trips both fun and informative. 
• The convenience:  Annoying hassles like large, expensive equipment and detailed itineraries are all taken care of, so you can enjoy your destination even more. 
• The destinations:  Since the outdoor destinations are living, breathing entities, there's never any guarantee that you'll be able to see a specific animal or capture a specific view on your camera. However, there's no questioning that they're beautiful, interesting places to explore and appreciate. 

Where are the REI Adventures trips offered? 

At the time of this writing, there are more than 100 trips you can choose from — all of which are domestic. REI previously offered trips around the world and on every continent, even Antarctica , but has since altered its offerings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  

Prior to the pandemic, REI Adventures had trips that would allow you to kayak and zip line in Costa Rica , hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu , make the classic base camp trek at Everest, and more.

Though those are on pause currently, you can still narrow your search by a number of domestic regions or destinations to find one that fits where you want to travel (e.g. national parks). 

How long are REI Adventures trips? 

There are trips that are three days long, 23 days long, and everything in between. That means you can take a quick weekend trip when you're craving proximity to nature more involved than looking at your desk plant or collect all your vacation days to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. The majority of REI Adventures trips are three to nine days long. 

Are REI Adventures trips strenuous? 

No. Each trip has a number rating from 1 (relaxed) to 5 (strenuous). While a relaxed trip will involve a few hours of activity on flat terrain and with little or no elevation gain, a strenuous trip is designed for very active travelers and includes 10+ hours of activity per day, steep ascents and descents, elevation changes of up to 4,000 feet per day, and altitudes topping 14,000 feet. 

About half of the available trips have a 3 rating (moderate), which is suitable for outdoor novices and casual recreationalists. While browsing trips, you can filter by activity level rating and gauge which ones are most appropriate for you. 

How much do REI Adventures trips cost and what's included? 

The trips range from $759 to more than $10,000 per person. They're pricey but there are a couple of factors to consider: REI members get significant discounts, and the price is inclusive of things like park fees, meals, camping tents, cooking equipment, some transportation, and professional guiding expertise. 

Beyond the cost of expensive outdoor equipment, you might want to consider the price tag you put on convenience and expertise. If you're willing and able to pay for a less stressful outdoor experience in which someone else handles all the research and costs of itinerary design and equipment, then you should seriously consider an REI Adventures trip. 

I've signed up for an REI Adventures trip. Now what? 

After you sign up and submit a deposit, you'll get access to a portal where you can review everything you need to prepare for the trip. This includes a checklist of the gear you need to bring, forms about your medical history and physical fitness, and the option to purchase travel insurance.

In the days leading up to your trip, you'll also receive a final itinerary that includes the details of each day, as well as important contact information. 

What else can I expect from my REI Adventures trip? 

As part of an REI-sponsored media trip, I went on a shortened version of the Pinnacles National Park trip — it was three days instead of four, but the rest of the experience remained the same.

Keep reading to learn about all the details, including the tents we stayed in, the food we ate, and the guides who led us through the journey.

I have spoken to Ashely and Zeeshan but their manager is refusing to call me!! Waste of my time and money!

Lousy experience. Double cancellation

Nope. They have taken my money and booking then cancelled the first tour I booked. I booked a second tour and then was told that there was no room in the tour. All this 4 days before the expected departure flight. Seriously! Now my agent tells me that they have not yet reimbursed the money I paid them. I am appalled.

AWFUL !! G Adventures, National Geographic & Disney

After having one fantastic overseas trip with Nat. Geo. several years ago, we decided on a US trip. When I had to cancel due to a medical issue, I found out what you really get with some trips is a subcontractor called G Adventures. Disney now owns and runs most things. This is hidden in the fine print; you are not told you're dealing with a subcontractor. While they refunded the trip cost, they have given me the runaround for over 6 weeks regarding the airline refund. I even had to go to the airline and now have documentation that the airline refunded G adventures over a month ago! National Geographic and Disney passed the buck and refuses to back a trip they advertise and be responsible for this subcontractor. Fortunately, my credit card company refunded!! I no longer recommend Nat. Geo. or Disney for any trip as a result. Check the online reviews for G Adventures, National Geographic Tours...F rating with BBB and horrible ratings with yelp and other reviewers.

This is one of the best travel agents…

This is one of the best travel agents which services I have used. I love traveling all over the world and you know… it is hard to find a suitable travel agent that aligns with your needs and wishes. I came across this company accidentally by scrolling through a blog of one website and saw an advertisement. After reading their terms of cooperation I was convinced that it is exactly what I was looking for. I bought their tour “three days in Iceland” for 719 bucks and it is quite cheap to be honest and at the same time they are not inferior in providing qualitative services. We had a great tour and I was so happy. In the near future, I will come again, guys! 😀

Costa Rica - very commercial and not eco

Embarking on a 16-day Costa Rica journey with G Adventures was a mix of highs and lows. Despite the promise of eco-friendly exploration, some accommodations fell short, and the reality of plastic pollution was apparent. San Jose was underwhelming with its dirty streets and hazards like uneven pavements and missing drain covers posing safety concerns. However, experiences like the Manuel Antonio National Park visit and activities in Monteverde offered memorable moments. La Fortuna had hidden gems, but inadequate information sharing was noted. Sarapiqui Rainforest and Tortuguero were highlights, but Puerto Viejo deserved more time. Overall, while G Adventures provided experiences, improvements in accommodation and information transparency are needed for future trips. Costa Rica proved costly, primarily catering to American tourists. Considering the mixed experience, returning is unlikely, though some aspects were enjoyable. As for G Adventures, while some aspects were positive, improvements in trip quality and inclusions are necessary for potential future use.

An amazing one week tour of Malaysia and Borneo

We had a one week tour of Malaysia and Borneo which was absolutely amazing! We had a great guide called EJ along the way who was helpful and efficient at getting us from place to place. We had the opportunity to visit remote islands, see Bornean orang utans and sun bears and much more! Would highly recommend this trip for anyone.

I have done 2 trips with GAdventures

I have done 2 trips with GAdventures, one to Southern Africa and one to Ecuador. Both tours were great! Can't wait to do more tours with GA!

Date of experience : March 09, 2024

We trekked the Inca Trail in March - it was an adventure packed with history, culture and breath taking views with every step taken that no words or photographs can give it the honourable respect and justice it deserves. I was completely in awe of the Porters who were dedicated and disciplined carrying 30kg each on their backs to ensure we were fed, watered, safe and warm and always had a welcoming smile and very courtesous.How they maintained the stamia each day was humbling- my only criticism is that prehaps alittle less weight for each Porter and definitely the use of walking poles for each of them. Also a huge thank you to our Guides Richie and Paulo & team for pushing us along with inspiration, historical culture and belief! Treasured memories 😊 Jacqueline Grant

The best 20 days in Rajasthan and Varanasi

I just finished 20 days in Rajasthan and Varanasi, India with G Adventures. This was my first group tour and it was the best experience. Our guide Siddhraj was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work and his country. It was a Basic trip so accommodation was basic but always clean enough. We used public transport, buses, trains, and sleeper trains. These were always basic but adequate. Siddhraj made sure we were all safe on the sleeper trains and made sure we were all ready to leave even when we were spread across numerous coaches on the train which can’t have been easy as we were a group of almost 20. We were in Agra for Holi Festival and Siddhraj made sure we had somewhere safe to experience the festivities, going above and beyond to secure hotel rooms for us to shower in before our sleeper train. Everything on the tour was well-organised and ran smoothly. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone considering it.

My trip to Antarctica..best thing I have ever done!

My trip to Antarctica delivered more than I ever expected, every step of the tour was handled by expert friendly staff,from beginning to end.As a long term traveller I'm 70yrs old,this has been the best experience of my life. Find it hard to put into words how great the whole experience. The staff were fantastic. The on board scientists were so passionate and eager to share their knowledge.As a solo traveller (no extra charge) I would give gadventures 10 out of 10 with no hesitation. Thanks to all on gadventures quest for the antartic circle for your friendly,informative and fun time. If you have a passion to see Antarctica definatly do it with Gadventures also add kayaking which was spectacular. and camping on the ice overnight, great experience...Thanks Gadventures..Graeme

Great trip for a first time traveller

I did the Highlights of Ireland GAdventures tour in June 2023. The tour guide, Jamie was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly, and knew of some great spots around the country for scenery, live music, great food, and of course great pubs/bars. The trip was decently paced, and I felt like I got to see a good chunk of the country. The most memorable parts for me were the Cliffs of Moher, Giant's Causeway, and of course, the group on the tour. I would definitely do another trip with GAdventures, Iceland is high on the bucket list.

Mayan Encounter

Mayan Encounter to Guatemala, Belize and Mexico Loved this 11-day tour with GAdventures! This was my first time as a solo traveler on a guided tour; I’m so glad I went with this company for several reasons: our guide, Ella, was delightful; all the logistics were taken care of; the cultural and outdoor experiences were great; sufficient free time was built in; the group was like-minded; and it was fun! The accommodations were just what we needed: clean decent places to sleep (I slept well every night after those fun-filled, active days). My top experiences were Tikal, snorkeling trips (including night-snorkeling!), cave tubing, and low-key bike riding on Caye Caulker. Best of all: to see how GAdventures is helping out very-worthy endeavors. I know I’ll travel with GAdventures again as I love being out in nature and experiencing new things. Now to figure out where to go next! Pam

Amazon to the Andes Forced to Tip $100 & nasty room mate...

Amazon to the Andes Forced to Tip $100 & nasty room mate...So overall the trip was good because Peru 🇵🇪 itself is so rich in culture & so many things to do. I was really forced to tip the porters at the Inca Trail. I forgot the cash & the fellow travellers started saying it's not fair & becoming nasty. Since when is tipping compulsory? Disgusting G adventures being forced to tip. In this case it was & I had to pay back the leader with more tips. This is where the porters working on the mountains are already paid in advance by G adventures. The Amazon experience overall was great and the accommodation. I was put with a roomate who I was sharing with who complained first, everything was friendly out of spite she started complaining & making the experience less enjoyable because of her presence. G adventures don't force people to tip, since when did tipping ever become compulsory & a fixed amount. Also if 2 people sharing rooms don't get along, give them the own room something serious like physical assault or a very unpleasant experience can happen. Don't force people just because you want to keep the money for your company. The dinner was included on most of the inca trail and Amazon experience which is a plus. However, avoid and I will not be booking any trips other travel companies are way better.

Cheated their customers.

We asked for a photographer tour same as friend’s, who introduced us to her tour. But their agent made the vagus travel contract to us, hide the truth that the tour was a cheaper classic tour. But the end, we pay photographer tour price which is $400 more expensive, but got a cheap classic tour.

Trip of a lifetime, thanks, in large part to G Adventures

This was the first time were were on a tour. We didn't know what to expect and were so pleasantly surprised by the experience, that we're anxious to go w/G Adventures again. It was a 12 day tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls that hit all the high points, booked all the best accomodations, took all the best tours, and served just the right amount of local flavor that we had hoped for. The trip was jam packed w/places and experiences, but never felt rushed or "too much". The group was smallish (11 people), all of whom got along very well, thanks in large part to the CEO who was excellent and professional. She was vastly knowledgeable, local, and went out of her way to be helpful and friendly. Truly a trip of a lifetime and I'm very excited for anyone who is contemplating taking this trip

Make yourself a favour and Do Not book…

Make yourself a favour and Do Not book youtlr tour with them. My tour for Costa Rica got cancelled due to some "places being sold out" but on the website it was advertised 3 places available for this tour. If I knew I would have booked myself a car from the airport and avoid all this hassle and stress I'm going through now because I planned my trip based on this tour. Anyway, this experience is for Costa Rica only. Don't know anything about other countries.

Incredible time in Morocco

I did the 8 day Morocco kasbahs and desert tour, and it was my favourite travel trip ever. It was my first ever group tour, and the itinerary, transport, and accommodation were all seamless and very stressfree- the only thing I had to do was turn up on time each morning. Special shoutout to our tour ceo Sofia- she was so knowledgeable and engaging and made the tour feel like a big family holiday. Highly recommend this tour and I can't wait to come back to Morocco one day!
