Welcome to Mantis Adventure where we strive to share our passion for exploration and unique travel in a more intimate, inspiring, and exhilarating way. We offer you a life experience like no other. In a sense, our goal is to enter the unusual journey and stray from the beaten path of standardized small group travel. Whether kayaking, rafting, hiking, Scuba, or just relaxation and leisure, we can script our adventures based on your preference. We strive to leave you with grand memories and a commitment to respect and protect the areas and cultures we visit.
In addition to our pre-arranged tours and day trips, we are happy to design an excursion or expedition of your choice, maybe one that inspires and excites you such as a fly fishing trip down the famed Kenai River, AK, rewarding yourself to the challenge of the great Kalalau Trail, Kauai, or maybe just a weekend getaway for two to the islands of the Dutch Caribbean. In many cases, people may have a hard time narrowing down there choices to one destination or trip. It is our job and pleasure to consult with you in finding your ideal dream adventure. In addition, our guides/leaders and local partners are fluent in English and have a wealth of knowledge and experience in this area to ensure your safety and an incredible experience.
We like to get to know you as a client well so we can ensure a safe and enjoyable journey while staying true to your every need and wish. We look forward to forming new relationships as we continue to treasure the old. The range of possibilities for your adventure is extraordinary and endless. We realize that everyone has a different dream and we want to nuture this.
People that travel with us come from varied walks of life, different fields of study,different regions of the globe, and of different ages. However, one thing they all have in common is they share the sense of adventure and the pursuit of enlightenment and new experience. They want something inspirational and unique instead of what they have taken in on past journeys. They are not searching for the "run of the mill" all inclusive resort. They want something special and have a passion for it.
Expect the best of what the world has to offer. Whether you want a "themed' remote overnight, a reunion in Rio, a group diving adventure in St. Lucia, or a family and friends Montana Raft Adventure, we will provide it for you. Our professional family will help choose the best adventure in mind based on overall abilities and taste. Let Mantis Adventure provide you with one of our exciting trips and a unique experience that will leave you educated, enchanted, and inspired. It's our passion.
Having already been on a few of expeditions with O'Neal, including a Chilikadrotna River trip in Alaska, I knew him as an experienced and skillful guide. In 2011, I booked my Montana excursion with Mantis Adventure, knowing his knowledge of Glacier NP would be essential for me to gain close access to wildlife and the best photo opportunities in the area. I strongly recommend Mantis Adventure to outfit any wilderness trip.

Mantis Adventure set the president for great camping trips in our future. Myself, kids and friends loved tubing the fresh water of Blue Springs during the day and the unique adventure of exploring the trails by night! We will be back!"
