Who We Are

Adventure Bus is made up of a handful of fun loving, experienced, accommodating personnel. From emails and reservations, to driving, cooking, and hiking, we do it all. This allows us to add a very personal touch to your experience from beginning to end. We strive to keep our adventures affordable, safe, fun, flexible and fresh, so that anyone and everyone can experience a unique adventure.

Oh The Places We go

Adventure Bus has been delivering folks to great hiking and biking trails, and scenic wonders throughout the West for 11 years. The National Parks are our specialty, and this season, we will be traveling to over 20 parks including Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Zion, Glacier, Arches, Mesa Verde, Olympic, and Yellowstone. We also explore and camp in many wonderful State Parks including Coral Pink Sand Dunes and Mitchell Caverns. Our mountain biking tours include some of the most epic trails the sport has to offer, including Gooseberry Mesa, and Moab's Porcupine Rim Trail.

Who Enjoys Our Trips With Us?

Everyone! Students, mountain bikers, teachers, families, musicians, lawyers, doctors, photographers, writers, democrats AND republicans. We also get first time hikers and campers as well as experienced travelers and backpackers. Folks of all ages and from all walks of life with a quest for a different experience choose to travel with Adventure Bus. The more diverse the group, the more exciting and amazing the tour is. It's not uncommon to have folks from 2-3 different countries along for the adventure. One of the highlights of the trip is getting to know and share this unique experience with people from around the world. A strong bond quickly forms between travelers, and while a trip begins with 15 or so strangers, it usually ends with a "family" of travelers. Adventure Bus welcomes families and children to join us on our adventures, but the majority are solo travelers ages 25-50. For more on families and children click here. Warning!!: Traveling with Adventure Bus can be addicting! Over 25% of our guests in 2008 were returning customers. Some were back for the 4th, 5th and even 6th tour!

Our Tours

Adventure Bus tours are more than just great sites and trails. Delicious cookouts, laughter around a campfire, inspiring sunsets, relaxation and fresh air make your fun-filled journey complete. Our flexible itineraries and accommodating hospitality provide opportunity for individualized adventure. Hike as long and hard as you want to, (or not), take part in a ranger-led program, relax by a tree and read a book, or stop and take a dozen photos if you wish. It is your tour! Most of our tours offer extra activities such as kayaking, rafting, climbing, or biking. We'll help you choose what is right for you. We've always got something up our sleeves! And then there is the bus! Traveling by sleeper coach allows us to maximize our play time at our great destinations. Fully equipped for a fun road trip and camping experience, she is also a comfortable ride. Within the first few hours, she'll feel like your home away from home!

How We Travel

From the towering peaks of the Grand Tetons, to the weathered sandstone cliffs, arches and canyons of the Southwest, we take you where you want to be - we take you away! And the best way we know how to do that is with our unique sleeper coach bus! She, (AKA Molly) is like a member of our family. The interior of our buses are extremely unconventional - in a good way! With the seats removed, our buses have been converted into lounge areas complete with pillows, a stereo system and an ice chest for beverages. As night falls and we return from another exciting day of adventure, the tables and couches convert into comfy cozy bus-beds. There you can do a little light reading, play some cards with your friends while listening to groovy bus tunes on the bus-wide sound system or drift off to sleep while we cruise on down the road. By morning, our drivers will have delivered us to the next wonderful place to explore, wherever it may be. Some nights, we'll stay in campgrounds and enjoy star filled skies, campfires, and yes... showers! It will be your choice to sleep in your bus-bed, in a tent, or right out under the stars.

Why Adventure Bus?

Simply, because you'll have the time of your life! You'll see incredible sights, and meet incredible people. But why us, and not another adventure travel company? Most of our crew were once guests on an Adventure Bus tour. We know what it's like to be in your hiking boots and bike cleats, and how important it is for you to feel safe. We know how precious and limited your vacation time is, and recognize that everyone has individual interests and abilities. We therefore strive to organize our tours in such a way that lets you spend your time the way YOU want to. Our guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and entertaining because we love our jobs and the places we visit! We'll make sure you don't miss the best sights and photo ops, but we'll also take you off the beaten path and away from the crowds. We recognize that money is always tight, and do what we can to keep our tours economical and affordable. No hidden fees, no single-supplements, (added fees for traveling solo), no hostel or hotel fees. We will inform you up front about any extra costs for meals or optional activities, so you can be prepared to enjoy your vacation. We depart our tours from major cities saving you money before your tour even begins.

Something Very Different

Folks choose Adventure Bus tours for their own reasons, and everyone experiences them in their own way. At the very least, you'll see extraordinary places and meet great people. Chances are you'll make memories that will inspire you time and time again. For us, Adventure Bus is an opportunity to explore the outdoors and make great friends. It is also an opportunity for new adventures and challenges. For you, we hope it will be an opportunity to relax and just be yourself, to get away from the stressors of today's fast paced world; a chance to try new activities and maybe even exceed your own abilities and expectations; a chance to feel awake and alive, and to take that feeling back home with you!

Our credo in nature…please respect It!

We are great believers in leaving the areas that we visit in as untouched a condition as is possible. We encourage everyone who travels with us to respect the land, the people and their fellow travelers. Please think and act responsibly and be considerate of others while you enjoy the journey. At Adventure Bus, both in the office and on the road, we strive to lesson our impact on our world and will encourage you to do the same. We RECYCLE what we can on the bus and in the office; paper, glass, cans, plastic bottles, etc. We REDUCE our waste by never using disposable items such as paper plates and plastic cutlery, and plastic grocery bags. We will encourage you to have a REUSABLE container to carry your water in, and provide you with a safe water supply and encourage you NOT to buy bottled water which is bad for you, your pocket, and the environment. We REPAIR our equipment such as tents, chairs and sleeping bags when we can instead of just throwing them away. We are also doing RESEARCH into new ways to cut down our waste including composting and using waste vegetable oil for fuel. We know it is our RESPONSIBILITY to leave our world a better place for the next generation.
