A Wilder Experience began as an idea in late 2018 and the company held its official launch on July 1, 2020, in Cape Broyle, Newfoundland and Labrador. The inspiration for the name “A Wilder Experience” is in honour of the founder’s first-born son, whose name is “Wilder”. Despite the fact that the world was dealing with the uncertainty and economic fallout of the Covid-19 pandemic, the decision to proceed to launch as planned was made. Since its inception, A Wilder Experience has evolved into a company that values inclusivity, with the belief that adventure is for everybody – regardless of ability. In 2023, AWE launched the “Accessible Sea Kayaking” program, which offers modified ocean kayaks to clients who have spinal cord, or other mobility, challenges. This program continues to develop and we look forward to furthering access to outdoor experiences for people of varying abilities. To learn more about this program click here <link to ASK>. Whether you are looking for a half-day sea kayaking, hiking or trail riding adventure, or a multi-day backcountry ski expedition, we would be happy to meet you. We also offer custom itineraries for clients with specific outdoor goals.
