There are plenty of tour companies out there offering adventure excursions for you and your friends, but far too few are catering to you and your canine companion. Happy Tails Canine Adventure Tours is one of the few companies that organizes tours designed especially for travelers and their doggies.

Traveling with a dog can often prove difficult, especially when it comes to finding pet-friendly accommodation, activities, and transportation. To remedy those problems, Happy Trails is offering two organized trips that will make it easy for dog owners to take their pups on an adventure:

  • The Coyote Tour is designed to allow you to see all the Southwest’s highlights in an eight-day journey. This trip across the Southwestern US includes destinations such as Grand Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, and Utah’s Mighty Five national parks among others. You and your dog will take part in hiking, boat trips, and jeep tours. The Coyote Tour is scheduled to run from April 7 to April 15, 2019.
  • The Peaceful Paws tour starts in Las Vegas and includes stops at the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Monument Valley Tribal Park among others, as well as activities like hiking and boating. The tour also features meditation sessions a mile down into the Grand Canyon, morning yoga at Monument Valley, and teachings on holistic living with your dogs. The tour is taking place from May 5 to May 13, 2019.

David Blank, the company’s 27-year-old founder and professional dog trainer, said in a press release, “Some of my most precious memories are of me camping and hiking with my dogs. But too many times I was forced to leave my favorite companions at home due to rules, logistics, lodging… The reasons kept coming. I knew there were others out there like me that want to experience the great outdoors with their best friends, so I had to create this experience on my own.”

Coyote Tours begin at $5,765 per person. Peaceful Paw tours start at $4,995 per person. Visit the website for more information or to book.
