Our Story

Natalie founded her guiding business in 2015 when she was a senior in high school. At this point in time, we only offered walk-in spin fishing trips on the Salmon River. Each year we steadily expanded, adding something new every summer. First we added fly fishing, then kayaking, then packrafting, and most recently, bear watching. In the coming years, we hope to offer flight-seeing tours to explore the beautiful landscape that surrounds Gustavus and Glacier Bay.

In 2020, after spending many years exploring Costa Rica, Natalie expanded her tour options to include Central America.  Whether its in the temperate rainforests of Alaska or tropical rainforests of Costa Rica, we greatly look forward to taking you on NATalie’s adVENTURES!
