Our story

Started on a footpath, still on it

Playhorizon began with two guides, a folder of hand-drawn maps and one habit: walk a route twice before taking anybody on it. That habit never went away.

The folder is thicker now and the team is bigger. Nothing else changed: we still test new routes out of season, before a date goes on sale.

  • Every route walked by us first
  • Guides trained in wilderness first aid
  • Groups capped, always

How it works

Three things we do not bend on

Walked first, sold second

A route reaches the catalogue only after we have walked it end to end, in season.

Small on purpose

Twelve on the biggest route, six on the tightest. Past that a group stops being a group.

Realistic difficulty ratings

If a trip involves strong current or all-day paddling, we're upfront about it. You'll know exactly what to expect before you commit.
