Iceland during the winter was the first tour I attended led By David Smith of Get Outside. Dave arranged the most comprehensive and exciting tour of Iceland. He researched and booked tour guides and coordinated each day’s activities and reminded the participants daily of the times of the group meeting and tout departures. He also…

I was part of a group travel trip to Yellowstone National Park last spring, and it was an unforgettable experience.

My adventures with Get Outside have been nothing short of exceptional across three trips, namely to Zion National Park, Alaska, and Washington State. Each adventure was thoughtfully planned and facilitated, with a great mix of both challenging and less intense hikes and activities. I appreciate that David handles the details, so all you have to…

Dave guides you through thoughtfully-curated itineraries that he manages to make personable for everyone - the entire trip felt like old friends getting together.

I enjoyed the trip to Dry Tortugas because it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. The water was beautiful, the park was clean, and the snorkeling as well as the sunsets were definitely what made the trip for me. I also learned to kayak while we were there, which was super fun. I…

My BFF and I went to Alaska with Get Outside. We are both very fit 50 somethings. We were out for adventure and found it with this experience. David is amazing and brilliant at accommodating all personalities and fitness levels. I look forward to my next experience with Get Outside.

Everyone needs a little adventure. So, whether you are looking to hike, snorkel, kayak, or just sight see, Get Outside has a little bit of Everything. I have been on 5 different trips with Get Outside and each trip has been unique and incredible. Dave is very knowledgeable and works with the locals to make…

This was my first Get Outside trip. Everything was very well thought out and planned by David, from each days’ excursions and activities to hotels and dining. Every day was full of adventure in Iceland's winter beauty where we experienced nature close-up, from hiking around canyons, ice caves, glaciers, waterfalls, to relaxing in geo-thermal baths.…

The Dry Tortugas is well worth the journey. It really helped me get my mind off things. It was definitely something new to me that some people might not get to experience. Something I liked about the trip was being able to explore all around Fort Jefferson within the days we were there. I also…

I had a wonderful time backpacking in Yellowstone. David knew so much about the park and its history. I also really enjoyed our trip to Yosemite and Sequoia. The hike in Sequoia was by far my favorite part of the trip. The giant trees were awesome also.

Dry Tortugas was an amazing experience, I learned so much about the sea creatures that live there and the fort. This trip was the trip of a lifetime and I had a blast. I also enjoyed all of our cool adventures. We went on while we were on the island like kayaking, snorkeling, and exploring…

In May of 2022, my group of 7 took a trip to Zion and Brice Canyon National Parks. We had an amazing trip. David had everything planned out but was willing to be flexible to meet our changing needs. We did everything we could imagine and more, and within a very short time, he just…

Dave is a great guide. Highly recommend. I went to Yellowstone with a group in May 2019 with Dave. The hikes and activities were very well planned, and I had the best experience ever. The accommodations were very nice and a great value. I would definitely sign up again for one of Dave's trips.

Traveling with Get Outside is always an adventure! Getting to explore our National Parks with a small group and experienced leader is priceless. I would highly recommend going on one of David’s trips if you love nature, our National Parks, hiking and exploring parts unknown!

I got the bug to visit our National Parks about 5 years ago. I was looking for a group that had the same interests on Meetup and met Dave. He was putting together a trip to explore Yellowstone and I immediately signed up. His love for this park showed through every aspect of the trip.…

Senior traveler here that placed all my life long desired trip to Alaska on Get Outside LLC. It was better than I ever imagined, and I felt included and valued in a diverse group of people that became friends for life! I would travel anywhere with David. He's my GUIDE ing star!
