At ADK Guides, we believe outdoor experiences should be available to visitors of all backgrounds and abilities. We offer hiking, camping, backpacking and canoe or raft paddling trips on flat or whitewater. In the winter we also offer snowshoeing adventures in the backcountry. We offer half, full and multi-day options for most activities. Our professional guides are with you every step of the way (literally) to make sure your Adirondack adventure is positive, and memorable, at every turn.

When you book a guide with ADK Guides, you can expect an adventure that is safe, fun, and sustainable. We go above and beyond to bring you a higher standard of outdoor experience. Our guides are certified in Wilderness First Aid, well-versed in sustainability best practices, and bring their A-game to every trip. Education is entwined in every outing and we pride ourselves on meeting our clients where they’re at, creating custom experiences suited to your particular needs, goals, and abilities.

From personal skills workshops to corporate retreats, we would be thrilled to work with you on a custom package that combines outdoor recreation with education or team building.

Canoe, snowshoe and camping equipment is available for rental on excursions.

Incredible experience! The hiking tour was well-organized, and the wildlife photography was breathtakingly beautiful.
