“I’ve requested to book a Chain Lakes Loop guide on ExplorOFF, and it was the best idea ever! I highly recommend going with their guided option since you get a real human connection on the trail and don’t have to worry about a thing. Yulia was great to talk to!”
Three steps. Zero stress.
We plan it, you make it yours.
You get the whole trip already built: every stop worth making, pinned on a real map in the order you drive it. Then drag a day around, swap a hike, add your own place. Send the link to whoever is coming and everything lives in one spot instead of eleven tabs and a group chat.
We check what is still open.
Tell us your dates and a person checks the permits, the rooms near each trailhead, the campsites and the tours that fill first, then sends you what is still open.
You book it, or a guide takes it from there.
Every night and every tour comes with its own booking link, at the normal price. Or hand the whole trip to a local guide: every drive, the fees, the gear and the trail meals.
It costs you nothing. We're paid by the provider, never by you. Our mission is simple: you explore, we handle the rest.
What hikers
say about us.
Every review is from a verified guest. ★★★★★ 20+ bookings so far, and every single one rated us 5.0.
"Yulia is an incredible guide. She knew every trail, every viewpoint, and exactly how to pace the day for our group. The photos she took of us were stunning. 100% booking again."
"The Annette Lake group hike was very well organized by Eugene Paw. Everything went exactly as described in advance. The group was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Eugene as a hiking guide!"
"I was visiting Seattle solo and this was the best decision I made on the trip. Yulia picked me up, had snacks, and took us to a trail I never would have found on my own. Absolute must-do."
"By far one of the most amazing hikes I had. Not easy and not hard, just perfect, with amazing views of the lake. I even brought my little furry friend Cooper and he loved it!"
"Felt like going out with a really knowledgeable friend who just happens to know everything about the area. No awkward tour-guide energy, just a magnificent day."
"Evgeny is a great guide and organizer. Stunning views and great vibes! Highly recommend!"

An experience
with a local.
Locals know what's actually worth your time. We're dedicated to making sure you spend it on the best things in the area, not the tourist traps. A local shows you the trails that aren't on the map, books the spots, handles the details, and is right there with you on the day. You show up and enjoy it.
The first local on ExplorOFF is Yulia, an experienced guide in the Pacific Northwest. She picks you up, brings the gear, takes the photos, and makes the day feel like hiking with a friend who knows the area. More local guides are joining now.
