What we’re about
Welcome to Adventure People! This group is for everyone who loves to hike, kayak, rock climb, and anything that gets us outdoors. We have a great team of organizers who schedule local outdoor activities, social events, and weekend camping trips. We also do small group trips to destinations around the world.
Some of the things we've done include watching the Northern Lights in Iceland, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, rappelling down waterfalls in Costa Rica, trekking on a glacier in Argentina, hiking the W Trek in Chile, climbing a volcano in Hawaii, visiting the country's national parks, exploring the world's most spectacular caves in Vietnam, salsa dancing lessons in Cuba, and that's just a few.
Adventure People all have one thing in common, we want to travel the world and have fun doing it. We're explorers, not tourists. Regardless of where you go and what you do, it's the people you share the experience with that you'll remember the most. What you'll find in Adventure People is that we're a fun, active, adventurous, welcoming group of friends. By joining our community and participating in our local and international trips, you'll not only have a new group of friends but new travel companions with whom you'll want to share more experiences. That's why you'll always see repeat travelers on all of our trips!

See all- Sun Setting & Barefoot Walking @ Oceano DunesOceano Dunes SVRA, Oceano, CA
The sand dunes at Oceano and the surrounding area is a distinctive and exciting geographical phenomena in Central Coast California. Previously I have explored this area on an ATV. For this trip, I would like to explore the sand dunes on foot, as in barefoot. And watch the sun setting. Return in the dark with a headlight or flashlight.
This will be my first time exploring the Non Vehicle Area. Therefore, don’t expect me to know the way around, hence exploring. Pleasant people are welcome to join the exploring adventure. However, you need to know your way around and be able to get back to the parking lot in case of separating from the group or when you decide to leave earlier. Dress in layers, night temperature may be cold and it could be windy.
