adventure guides
Wilderness trip coordinators
Adventure guides are people who lead outdoor recreational activities—hiking, rafting, climbing, wildlife tours.
They combine expertise in a specific terrain or activity with responsibility for group safety and enjoyment: Our adventure guide knew every trail in the canyon.
The term also applies to publications or apps that catalog such experiences: I picked up an adventure guide to Costa Rica.
