Our story of reconnecting people with the natural world
Nature Escape Travel was founded in 2015 in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. What began as a small guiding service has grown into a comprehensive nature wellness company serving travelers from around the world.
Our founder, Sarah Blackwood, a former environmental scientist turned wilderness guide, recognized a growing disconnect between modern life and the natural world. She envisioned experiences that would help people rediscover their innate connection to nature.
Today, we're proud to operate entirely carbon-neutral operations, support local conservation efforts, and maintain partnerships with Indigenous communities to honor traditional ecological knowledge.
To create transformative nature experiences that foster personal wellness, environmental stewardship, and sustainable tourism practices.
We believe that when people experience the healing power of nature firsthand, they become passionate advocates for its protection. Every journey we facilitate plants seeds of environmental consciousness.
Through our Give Back program, 5% of all revenue directly funds wilderness conservation, trail maintenance, and environmental education initiatives in the regions where we operate.
Every decision we make prioritizes environmental protection and minimal impact tourism practices.
We work closely with local communities, respecting traditional knowledge and supporting local economies.
We create genuine connections with nature, not staged photo opportunities or superficial encounters.
Every experience includes learning opportunities about ecology, conservation, and environmental stewardship.
Professional guides, top-tier equipment, and comprehensive safety protocols ensure worry-free adventures.
We welcome travelers from all backgrounds, fostering diverse perspectives on nature connection.
