By the end of the trip, you’ll have connected to the place, yourself, and those around you.
Is it similar to camping?
Not really, but you do have the unique opportunity to connect with nature in a similar way that you would camping. Our accommodations have everything you’d expect from a five-star hotel, from plush beds with high thread count linens to bathrooms with luxury bath amenities.

Voyager Tents: Each Voyager Tent is connected via private walkway to your own custom-designed bathroom. The bathrooms are housed in adjoined canvas tents, with full-flush toilets, rain-style hot showers, and beautiful sink and vanity spaces. There are towels and robes in the tent, as well as environmentally friendly luxury bath amenities in the bathroom.
Journey Tents: Journey Tents have nearby shared bathouses with full-flush private toilets, individual rain-style showers, and luxury bath amenities just a few minutes walking distance from each tent. Each Journey Tent includes a bath tote with towels and bathrobes.
Outlook Shelters & Suites: Each Outlook Shelter has a full en suite bathroom, complete with rain-style shower, full-flush toilet, and sink and vanity.
