Are you seeking a small-group wilderness adventure off the beaten path--one that offers physical challenge, yet provides you with opportunities for reflection and solitude? Join us for a river rafting, canoeing, sea kayaking, backpacking or hiking base camp expedition in North America's pure wilderness.

For more than two decades, Equinox Wilderness Expeditions has explored Arctic wild rivers, coasts, glacial fjords and rugged mountain country, seeking out the unusual and the magnificent. We organize expeditions from British Columbia's Coast Mountains to the glacial fjords of Southeast Alaska, out to the Aleutian Chain of islands, north to the sweeping tundra and mountains of the Alaska's wild arctic Brooks Range, rivers of the Northwest Territories, and to Nunavut, northern Canada's High Arctic province of constant summer light. Fall and Spring may find us in the US Southwest or Latin America. We are a small company, and we run our own trips, catering to a small number of adventurers every year. In Scandinavia, we partner with proven companies with whom we have built personal relationships.

We believe the earth's wild places offer a path for balancing the hectic pace of modern life with simplicity and a personal connection with the land. Here we find solitude and silence. Entering the land on its own terms--accepting the rhythms of wind, weather, and wildlife--we encounter natural ecosystems uninterrupted by human endeavor, and experience the diverse and rich flora and fauna of our wondrous planet. We connect with each other in ways that are often not possible in our day-to-day lives. This is the gift of wilderness.

In 2009 Schedule we plan to run some of our favorite expeditions, as well as some new trips. Our June Kokolik River canoeing expedition, named Outside Magazine's 2007 Trip of the Year, traverses Alaska's Western Arctic. We're also planning a trekking traverse of Baffin Island.

We are proud to announce that National Geographic Adventure Magazine rated us as one of the Best 55 Adventure Tour Operators on the Planet, including one of the Top Two River and Sea Outfitters, for service, education, sustainability and spirit of adventure. We've been green since our beginnings in 1985, and we're still doing our best to protect the places we visit.

Whether you are interested in wildlife viewing, bird watching, photography, whitewater, fly fishing, peak bagging, or any other activity, we'll share with you pristine wilderness and help you find a balance between activity and rest. If you don't see a trip that is perfect, please inquire, as we are happy to create a custom itinerary or private adventure to suit your group, goals, and schedule. Families especially love working with us to create unique itineraries. Come share our love of adventure, wildlife, and beauty in such diverse locales as Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Kenai Fjords, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Auyuittuq National Park, the Stikine River, Norway's fjords, and Vancouver Island's Clayoquot Sound. Join for the adventure vacation of a lifetime!
