Why We Love Our Team

Incredible Adventures is truly made incredible by the amazing guides that we hire. Our team members join us from all over the world, from right here in our own backyard of San Francisco, to Europe, Asia, and beyond! While no two trips you take with us will be exactly alike, the common threads that hold our team together is a common love of the great outdoors, a spirit of wanderlust, and a commitment to saving the environment in both big and small ways.

Our guides are some of the most knowledgeable in the industry. When they’re not busy getting acquainted with the lands they visit every day, it’s not rare to find them reading books on California history in Dolores Park. On every tour you’ll leave with a head full of fun facts, but also a full heart from the stories that they share. The excitement and enthusiasm that the Incredible team brings to each trip is contagious!

Most of all, we’re one big family who loves what we do. We strive to extend that passion to all our guests to create lifelong memories and friendships.
