A preview of what's coming
These are sample trips to show how Core will work. Real trips from local guides open at launch.
Booking a guide shouldn't be a gamble.
Local experts
Independent guides who live here and fish, ride and paddle these waters and woods.
Instant booking
Pick a time and you're booked on Instant Book trips. No phone tag.
Weather-aware
If wind or storms cross your guide's safety limits, you get new times to pick in one tap.
Transparent pricing
Trip price plus a 6% booking fee ($7/seat minimum; per-trip prices and private trips are just 6%). Shown before you pay. Card fees included.
Checked credentials
Guides must give us the licenses and insurance their trips require. We check them before a listing goes live.
We verify documents, not outcomes. Always follow your guide's safety briefing.
