    The moose in the wild and the great knowledge we documented about the items we foraged was one for the books. We loved our guide and had lots of fun.

    If you are looking for a truly unique, personalized adventure literally “off the beaten path” then this excursion is for you! Our guide/owner Matt was amazing. His knowledge of the Alaskan flora and fauna was outstanding! We had a blast foraging for everything edible in the vast Alaskan forest including plant leaves, flowers and mushrooms. After hiking and foraging, Matt found a super cool location to break out the cooking gear and make lunch. He is an expert chef and involved our group in all aspects of the meal prep process. I felt like I was out on an adventure with an old friend. Don’t miss this incredible experience while in Anchorage!!

    This was a fantastic experience! Relatively easy hiking with "forest bathing" and relaxing foraging with Matt as our awesome guide/educator/mushroom expert/gourmet chef. I was really looking forward to learning more about foraging and had not expected the lunch meal to be the gourmet experience it was! Matt cooked up an amazing mushroom risotto with the mushrooms we had foraged, a wild currant and strawberries compote over angel food cake with whipped cream, a delicious tea from spruce, juniper, clover, fireweed blossoms, snd added smoked salmon & cream cheese and blueberry jam appetizers and sauteed reindeer sausage. It was one of the most creative and delicious meals we have had in Anchorage. Matt let us assist in the foraging, meal prep, etc. as much as we wanted. I learned so much and hope to explore foraging back home on the East Coast. Our relatives, who live in Anchorage now want to do this excursion after hearing about our experience. Matt is a hidden gem in the Anchorage area!

    What an amazing experience. This tour is perfect if you love the outdoors, learning about nature, and enjoying a good meal. It has inspired me to learn more about foraging in my hometown.

    Leah was our guide for our tour - she is very knowledgeable and provides helpful tips for identifying plants. The lunch afterwards was great and rewarding knowing that we picked all our ingredients. Did not know what to expect when first booked this tour. Was prepared for a hike but this was a very leisurely stroll (which made sense as you need to be on the lookout at all times for potential food). Good for all levels of fitness (but again, if you're looking to break a sweat, this probably isn't for you).

    (ANCHORAGE LOCATION) Upon arrival at your designated location, our experienced guide(s) will let you know what to expect, and give you tips for spending the day safely in the Alaskan wilderness. Then, we will hit the trails in search of Alaska's finest ingredients. Depending on the season, we could uncover wild greens, edible wildflowers, fiddlehead ferns, fireweed shoots, mushrooms, berries, and so much more. All of which we can take back to the campsite for education on how to prepare, cook, and eat using backcountry equipment and supplies. Finally, after a delicious backcountry dessert our guides will say goodbye, and it is on to your lodging destination for a relaxing end to your dream-day. Transportation included in total time of tour: (1 hour transportation & 4 hours hiking, foraging, and cooking)

    Duration 240 minutes

    The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
