4.Denali Primitive Survival – 4hr Easy Hiking & Survival Workshop

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $259

Learn fire-making, shelter building, and edible plant skills near Denali on this practical four-hour Alaska survival workshop.

“Be sure to have good hiking boots, warm socks and rain jacket. They provide hiking poles if needed (which i needed for my knees). Loved learning more about the edible berries (and eating them), and especially what mushrooms NOT to eat! The debris hut shelter would have been fun to completely build out - but that would have taken the whole time. Jade was fun and engaging and helped our 11 year old with bow drill fire. Lots of info in a short amount of time. A good Intro to Primitive Survival!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 11 reviews · 4 hours · from $182

Hike through Akrotiri vineyards, swim at Mesa Pigadia, and cook a traditional Greek lunch with a local chef in four hours.

“This tour illustrates the local and quieter side of Santorini. Sofia was very knowledgeable during the hike and helpful during the cooking class. The food was excellent. Mrs. Anna was very patient with us during the cooking portion. The food was very generous! Kosta was also very knowledgeable during the transportation. It made for an exciting morning that was different from the rest of the touristy island! Would definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys cooking, hiking, or swimming.”
