Gear Rental
Hiring equipment is a great way to make sure you have the right gear for the task at hand without having to invest a lot of money. Whether you dont hike very often or you want to try out a new bit of gear – renting is a great solution.
For most items, we have a ‘basic’ (quality and durable) and a ‘premium’ (lightweight and more comfortable) option. Generally, the premium options are what we use on our guided walks or ourselves as guides and also stock in our retail shop.
TRY BEFORE YOU BUY
If you love your hiking gear rental, after your trip you can buy it new in our shop and we will discount the rental price off the purchase of the new item – think of it like a ‘try before you buy’!

When you book, you will be sent a link to complete a waiver and rental agreement online, you can save time and do this before you arrive, or simply fill it out in store.
