We are part of nature. There is no separation. When we step into the wild, we remember.
The world pulls us in a hundred directions at once. Screens, schedules, expectations. It’s easy to get lost in all of it—to forget what it feels like to be fully present, fully alive.
Passage Expeditions is about breaking away. We take you deep into wild places—landscapes untouched by time, where nature still moves at its own pace. No Wi-Fi. No distractions. No endless to-do lists. Just raw, untamed beauty and the kind of silence that wakes you up inside.
This isn’t a trip. It’s not an escape. It’s a return. To the land. To yourself. To something real.
You’ll paddle through glacier-carved fjords, sleep under desert stars, and move through water so still it mirrors the sky. You’ll push yourself. You’ll feel small in the best way. And the people you meet—strangers at first—will become something more. Because there’s nothing like stepping into the unknown together.
The wild strips away everything that doesn’t matter. What’s left is truth. Connection. Clarity.
This is Passage Expeditions.
Passage Community
Passage for me has been the transformative experience that I didn't know I needed. It came at the heels of an unexpected life shift. I've had the opportunity to attend three succesive Passage journeys this year and I can say that each jounrey has proven to create a major shift in my perspective with respect to myself, and ultimately my reality. Passage dares you to reconnect with yourself and those around you. Passage dares you to trust. Passage dares you to release and simply be.

Alaska with passage was a reclaiming of my hurting being. Laughter, tears, overwhelming shirts from the land. It was nurturing, my nervous system was reset, and my life force came back.
My experience here shifted my path and sometimes I still can’t believe what all came from that moment of leaning in and saying yes.
What I kew at the time was that I was in a deep need of something experiential to breathe life back into my heart and soul.
It couldn’t be another retreat, it couldn’t be something only engaging my mind, I needed a deep dive into connection.
I was not sure what or how, but I found passage one late night and it stopped my searching. I later got on a call with Kevin and there was immediate trust there.
So I dove in. With the support, I dove into trust, I dove into the most profound nature I had ever experienced, I dove into reconnecting with humans committed to the heart. I knew this trip would be profound. I took it very seriously. I trained for it physically and mentally, and I prepared my being for deep heart openings.

The Boundary Waters Passage gave me skills with trackable progress, while it demanded strong physical energy, the repetition and experience created shift in mental fortitude that made portaging more of a meditation than a mission.

I am feeling cracked wide open, i wrote the entire plane ride home and tears are welling up in my eyes consumed with gratitude, love, connection, and magic. Kevin has a very special and uniquie gift, and I am so glad that i was able to be a part of such perfectly aligned magic. Everything flowed so naturally and organically - there was depth and vulnerability from everyone but so much play and laughter - I didnt realize how much I was missing the medicine of silliness.

Life is strange, and I'm happy I found Passage. They offered a space to unlplug from the world, revitalize my relationship to nature, and connect with a more profound inner self often muted by everyday responsibilities. I could examine my life's direction, thoughts, and motivations while enjoying Alaska's wilderness. Kevin and Matt care deeply about each human experience along for the ride, and I plan to go again shortly.

It’s beautiful how the things we crave the most show up in your life but often not packaged up as we had imagined it.
It can take stepping outside of our comfort zone, staying open to new experiences and taking a leap of faith to recognize the endless opportunities.
I found Passage Alaska during a time when I was questioning everything - no longer able to accept the “ normalcy” of the life I was living yet unsure of the direction I would now take. Mountains have always been such a healing place for my soul and coming into contact with such pure nature, paired with the company of amazing people that were on the similar paths as me… felt like shedding old, heavy layers allowing me to step more freely into a new chapter.
Looking back, I can see the amazing ripple effect this experience created in my life . It brought friends who have now become like family and opened doors I never thought possible. It was the spark that reignited the magic within me—the reminder that the path to ourselves may be challenging, but it’s always worth it!!
Cari
My recent trip with Passage left me, once again, bewildered to the medicine of deep nature. In these places, I am just a witness like everything else. The clarity of my life after this experience is unmatched, adventure has a way of altering your life completely.

This past Alaska Passage expedition was truly special. The energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity that flowed from this group made this trip truly unforgettable. It doesn’t get much better than sharing the place I love most with extraordinary people. From cooking back country meals in gale force winds, hiking to mountain peaks, and rafting down the eagle preserve, this trip had it all.
Sharing in the child-like sense of awe and wonder from those who are experiencing Alaska for the first time is priceless. Everyone showed up with arms wide open and brought their dose of magic from their respective lives to share in a week of adventure, laughter, and exploration in the most beautiful place on earth. I was reminded to walk lighter, play more, and listen to Creed. It’s good for the soul. I will not soon forget this trip with this group of humans as it was wildly expansive for my soul and something I had been needing for quite some time.
My cup is still overflowing

To anybody having doubts or reservations, I would say feel into your heart. Gaia is calling you, because we need community, and connections, and that is more valuable than anything else I have ever spent my money on.
Jeana
I have an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Gratitude for every being human, animal, plant, and even the cactus that decided to attach to my heel. Gratitude for everyone I met along the way, and for myself for saying Yes to an Instagram ad. To cultivate space with so much love, laughter, play, connection, vulnerability, endless smiles, jokes, and dancing so naturally and seamlessly is such a beautiful gift to the world. How lucky are we all to carry that energy and experience with us forever? I know we create our luck, and I also know that without Passage and Kevin, it wouldn’t have been possible.
It was the perfect melting of individual perspectives and energies experiencing connection to and the beauty of Mother Earth. It was the ideal balance of unstructured structure for those of us that need a little help stepping outside of knowing. The smaller group opened my eyes to group travel and experiencing things I might not otherwise experience as a solo traveler like swimming in bioluminescence under a new moon sky.
Ashley
The Passage I embarked on changed my life. Through adventure I pushed myself in ways I never have experienced. Through the trials, growth emerged in ways I never expected. I have a greater appreciation and love for myself and the natural world around us. Being immersed in an ecoystem that survives all on its own, I was a guest in the home of mother earth. With great people around me, I experienced authentic connection, a connection I rarely or never find.
Evan
This Passage expedition has been exhilarating and spontaneous. It has been a new connection with nature, and others that have something in common with me. I didnt realize how much I was missing this in my life.
Sally
You won’t find hotels, tour buses, or packed itineraries here. No gift shops, no service bars, no mindless entertainment. This is real wilderness. Raw, untamed, and waiting.
Every expedition moves to its own rhythm, one that feels older than time itself:
Step into the Wild
No roads, no reception, no noise—just the land as it’s always been. Glaciers calving into the sea. Desert winds carving stories into stone. The quiet ripple of a paddle cutting through still water. Out here, the wild doesn’t adjust to you. You adjust to it.
Break Away from the Noise
No emails. No notifications. No meetings. Just the sun rising when it wants to, the tide rolling in when it’s ready. You’ll lose track of time. And then, you’ll stop caring.
Adventure & Challenge
The best views aren’t handed to you. You earn them. Paddling through ice-cold fjords, trekking sunbaked ridges, pushing further than you thought you could. Your body will ache. Your lungs will burn. And something deep inside you will wake up.
Build Something Real
Out here, things get simple fast. You share fire. You share food. You share the hard days and the silent nights. The people beside you—strangers at first—become something more. These are the friendships that last. Because nothing bonds like stepping into the unknown together.
Come Back Changed
Not because someone told you how to think or feel, but because nature does what it always does—it strips away the noise and leaves you with truth. You’ll feel it in your bones: more grounded, more awake, more yourself.
You don’t need to “find yourself.” You were never lost. You just had to remember.
These three locations have specifically chosen for their beauty, wildness, and capacity to hold a real adventure. Passage is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the mystery of nature, with the support of community.
Haines, Alaska is a unique blend of untamed wilderness and breathtaking beauty. This area is known as "the adventure capitol of Alaska" for good reason. Surrounded by inspiring mountains and glacial fjords, this captivating region offers rugged landscapes, abundant wildlife, and a warm community. From exploring ancient forests to witnessing awe-inspiring glaciers, Haines will beckon us to immerse ourselves in the raw and untouched spirit of this remarkable part of Alaska.
The Boundary Waters is a sacred and pristine wilderness area located in the northern forests of Minnesota and Ontario. Its rugged terrain, diverse wildlife, and clear, clean waters make it a revered destination. For centuries, the Ojibwe people have called this land home, passing down their traditional knowledge and wisdom. Today, the Boundary Waters remains a symbol of the enduring power and beauty of the natural world, reminding us of our responsibility to protect and honor it for generations to come.
We will be located at 'Las Animas Eco Wilderness Lodge' a truly wild center of exploration on the sea of cortez, halfway down the Baja Peninsula of Mexico, in a World Heritage Site. Wild places like this on planet earth are hard to access, and we have the infrastructure and skills to get you there and back. Jacques Cousteau refers to the Sea of Cortez as the 'Aquarium of the world'. You will have your own private yurt on a pristine and untouched beach, access to hundreds of acres of wilderness, and all the tools needed for exploration.
