Vacations to North Idaho, Coeur d’Alene, Sandpoint and Farragut have become the active vacationers playground!  We can create active vacations for you in tandem with a conference visit, Iron Man or other venues in the area.  There are some off the beatan path ATV tours, mountain biking tours to remote water falls, hikes for huckleberry picking and some great mountain fishing.  Our ATV tour to Moose Lake does all that and more.  Plan on spending at least 4 days in North Idaho to take in Moose Lake, American Falls and finally – funky Bayview with a nice ride out at Farragut.

If you have an extra day, our privately guided boating expedition visits the pristine bays of Coeur d’Alene Lake, the Coeur d’Alene River and the Spokane River.  Contact TMI regarding our privately escorted tours and expeditions for groups of 1 to 6 participants.
