Facebook Reviews

HikerWolf's team was very energetic, friendly and helpful. This was my first camping and I loved it. However, considering the overall trip, I feel the package is a little on the higher side. Food could have been better and the time that we reached our camps, we should have been given lunch or a light snack because we were hungry and you don't get anything nearby. But yeah, one thing be rest assured, even if you are on a solo trip and at anytime you feel left out, HikerWolf team will cheer you up in every way possible!
