Experience genuine outdoor adventures with transparent pricing, honest reviews, and unforgettable memories. No hidden fees, no false promises – just pure adventure.
Start Your AdventureFounded in 2018 by outdoor enthusiasts Sarah Mitchell and Jake Thompson, Honesty in Adventures was born from a simple frustration: too many adventure companies overpromise and underdeliver. After experiencing countless disappointing trips with hidden fees, exaggerated difficulty ratings, and misleading photos, we decided to create something different.
Our mission is radical transparency in adventure travel. Every tour description includes real photos from actual trips, honest difficulty assessments, and upfront pricing with no hidden costs. We believe that authentic experiences come from honest communication, proper preparation, and genuine passion for the outdoors.
What started as weekend hiking trips for friends has grown into a trusted adventure company serving over 2,500 satisfied adventurers annually. We specialize in small-group experiences (maximum 12 people) across the Rocky Mountains, Southwest deserts, and Pacific Coast ranges. Our certified guides average 8+ years of outdoor experience and hold wilderness first aid certifications.
We're not just another tour company – we're your honest partners in adventure. Every trip includes detailed pre-adventure consultations, comprehensive gear lists, fitness requirements, and 24/7 emergency support. Our commitment to transparency has earned us a 4.9/5 rating across 847 verified reviews and recognition as "Most Trusted Adventure Operator" by Outdoor Adventure Magazine in 2023.
