Guides with Breakwater Expeditions are not your typical leaders. Our guides are passionate about supporting people to find their comforts in the backcountry, make new connections within a like-minded group, explore the world around them, and to find growth within ourselves to create more experiences in nature.

Itinerary details will be determined in March 2024 when the Park Service opens permits for the season. At that point Breakwater Expeditions will develop an itinerary fit for the group and goals of the individuals signed up.

We will provide you with a packing list appropriate to your trip. Breakwater Expeditions will provide technical gear for camping and backpacking. We only require participants to bring appropriate clothing and toiletries for their experience with us.

If you have your own camping and backpacking gear we will support you in making sure it is appropriate for our itinerary so that you can use your own gear.

We are able to help with logistics pre and post backpacking trip. We charge a small fee to do the travel bookings, if you are interested in this support, please call us at 208.263.0277.

The outdoors are unpredictable. Itineraries are subject to change. Weather can and does happen while we are in the backcountry and therefore we must make sure we have appropriate gear to withstand the elements. Your guide will make sure that you have the items you need in case there is inclement weather.
