What we do

Group trips, planned for you

Mission Adventure is run by the team behind Otzi Vans. We put together group trips to deserts, rivers, and mountain backcountry, and we post them for people to join.

Each trip has a set route, dates, and a guide out front. You don't have to plan anything. Just sign up, show up, and enjoy the trip with a good group.

We plan the trip

We pick the route, scout the camps, and set the dates. Each trip is posted with everything you need to know.

You sign up

Choose the trip that fits you and save your spot. Groups stay small, so spots are limited.

Meet the group

Show up at the meeting point with your van. We lead the way from there.
