JUAN DE FUCA MARINE TRAIL
Self Hike / We Set Up Camp and Cook:

You hike the trail. We make camp including tents, campfire, prepare evening meal and breakfast. Our guides will go ahead using short cuts and trail heads. All you carry are day packs, sleeping bag, snacks and drinks. We break camp in the morning whilst you hike. Includes transport to and from Trail (from our home base) and camping fees. Free parking for your vehicle at our home location.
3 nights / 4 days: 2 persons $850; 4 persons $1200.
4 nights / 5 days: 2 persons $1000; 4 persons $1340.

This Trail is often underestimated for its degree of fitness required. Many sections equal the West Coast Trail in difficulty, and unexpected weather changes.
This option opens up a challenging Trail and we pack all the tents and food! Best on the West Coast.
