Group
1 Day
Sep, Oct
In this 1-day trek in Castle Rock State Park you will also have the opportunity of learning various techniques for this kind of activity, even it is the first time you’ll do it.
During the trip, you will enjoy an incredible full day walking along the coastal area, in the Bay of Monterrey on the Pacific Ocean seaside. You will also hike across other trails that will lead us to the mountains of Santa Cruz.
You will be taught how to overcome very dense forest areas and sand stones. At night, a nice fire in the campsite will meet us in order to dinner and share a great moment with the group.
As I said, it is not obligatory to have previous backpacking experience. With enthusiasm and a little training it will be more than enough! It will be a learning trip about the basic rules of backpacking hike. Once the trip finishes, you will know:
How to prepare a backpack
Basic knowledge about animals and plants of the region
How to set up a tent
How to use camping gear, such as the heaters
How to take care of environment without leaving human signs
The Rock Castle State Park and its stunning bay are the perfect places for this kind of activities. So, don’t miss it! I can ensure it will be an unforgettable experience.
You also can ask me for other trekking points, like Point Rey or Ojai. Next scheduled departures are in September and October and places are limited!
Contact me and let’s do it together. It will be great for me to teach you the basis of backpacking in such an amazing place as Rock Castle State Park.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
