My Story

 

For over 30 years, I’ve enjoyed organizing and guiding all sorts of fun, safe and educational land and water-based Adventures in Nature throughout the US, Mexico and Canada.  Read more.

 

I arrived in Washington State in 2010, explored extensively and fell in love with the amazingly beautiful and diverse environments of Skagit.

 

Skagit County is situated in NW Washington.  It stretches from the Salish Sea, through Skagit Valley, to the North Cascades.

Skagit Guided Adventures, LLC is based in Anacortes, WA and is fully insured and permitted to operate in the North Cascades National Park, Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and Washington State Parks.

In 2020, Skagit Guided Adventures forged a partnership with American Cruise Lines and is now the Official “Anacortes Hiking Adventure” outfitter for their guests.

About Skagit Guided Adventures

In 2016, I launched Skagit Guided Adventures to share the natural beauty of Skagit Valley, the North Cascades and San Juan Islands.

I designed unique and exceptional Experiences to Connect You with Nature which promise to enrich your life, create unforgettable memories to last a life-time, impart new knowledge and make you feel very well taken care of.

 

Happy Adventurers is my #1 priority!

 

And so it’s been for over 2000 guests of all ages and from all the over the world: US, Mexico, Canada, Australia, Germany, Romania, UK, Scotland, Russia, India, Italy, China, UAE, Taiwan, Indonesia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Cuba, France, Thailand, Burma, Netherlands, South Korea, England, Scotland, Russia, Singapore, Philippines and Tasmania.

Every year, Skagit Guided Adventures donates a portion of its proceeds to local non-profit organizations that help preserve:

• Wild spaces for their entire communities of plants and animals to thrive in, as well as for present and future generations of humans to enjoy.
• Farmlands for farmers to continue making a living and producing food for the rest of the world.  And, for the thousands of migratory geese, swans and many other species of birds that depend on them.
