Join this trip without needing to plan every detail themselves! We’ll take care of the support, the logistics, the fun, and the community. You only need to show up ready for adventure.

support you can count on

We make sure you are taken care of from the first mile to the last.

Bike Mechanic On Site

A bike mechanic will be available at the starting line and at the transition point. Your bike stays tuned and ready for the miles ahead so you can enjoy the ride without the stress of mechanical issues.

Secure Bike Transport

When the route shifts from biking to paddling, we take care of moving your bike. It will be transported safely from Transition Point One to Transition Point Two. You stay focused on exploring while we manage the gear.

community and big group energy

A welcoming kickoff party sets the tone. With Challenge Cards like “trade snacks with someone you just met” and “find someone who has done a trip in another country,” you will be swapping stories and making new friends before you even hit the trail.

Good food and cold beer are included throughout the experience, creating a comfortable space to refuel and spend time with the group.

At the finish line, everyone comes together again for a celebration that highlights the spirit of the trip. Participants are recognized with fun awards such as: Most Creative Sandbar Setup and Fastest Slow Paddler

Every adventurer also receives Lil’ Drifty shirts and swag, a simple way to remember the experience and the people you shared it with.
