A team event that gets everyone outside

Skip the standard happy hour and give your group an experience they will actually remember. With Wyldforest, your team, friends, clients or family head into the forest with a certified guide for a private mushroom foraging adventure.

It is relaxed, hands-on and easy to plan: fresh air, shared discoveries and a guided experience built around your group.

Explore the private hike format

What to expect

A shared outdoor experience that brings people together naturally. Your group gets out of the office or everyday routine and into the forest for a guided mushroom hunt.

Every hike creates conversation, curiosity and a memory that feels very different from another dinner or meeting room activity.

How it works

Tell us your preferred location, group size and date range. We check guide availability and help find a forest or starting point that fits your plans.

The route can be adapted to your group's pace, experience level and event setup.

What is included

Your private certified Wyldforest guide leads the experience, introduces safe mushroom foraging and helps your group understand the forest ecosystem.

We take care of the tour planning so your group can focus on showing up with sturdy shoes, curiosity and a good mood.

One focused format, tailored to your group
