Due to the popularity of our the DIY trips we are extending our provision of Expeds DIY.
What do we mean by DIY? You will be guided on the water by an experienced and qualified leader. Once at camp you are looking after yourself although your guide will be on hand if you have a problem.
You provide all your own kit, (paddling, camping, cooking) your own food and are responsible for your own shuttle on most trips, although help and support can be offered here.
