Fly Fishing & Upland Hunting Adventure Trips & Schools

Orvis fly fishing and upland hunting adventure trips and schools combine guided sporting experiences with hands-on instruction in world-class destinations. These aren’t generalized excursions. They’re guided travel made to improve your cast, your shot, and your appreciation of the places you fish and hunt. These adventures put you in the field or on the water, whether you’re at a skill-building school or traveling with Orvis-endorsed experts.

In Orvis trips and schools, you get:

• Unrushed days outside with likeminded hunters and anglers
• Destinations selected for the quality of their fishing and hunting
• Instruction and guidance from expert Orvis guides and vetted partners who meet you at your level

Destinations vary from close to home to well-known international waters and shooting grounds, each one chosen for its quality and strong sporting tradition. Many trips are fully inclusive, so meals, lodging, and logistics are handled. All you have to do is get there.

Guided Adventure Trips & Hands-On Schools

Unlike itinerary-driven adventure travel, Orvis guided trips and schools are designed around clear instruction and meaningful time outdoors. Fly fishing and wingshooting schools focus on fundamentals—safety, aiming, tracking, casting, presentation, and reading the land or water—while specialty adventure trips offer once-in-a-lifetime sporting experiences.

Fly Fishing Schools & Trips

We offer fly fishing schools across the U.S., from our home state of Vermont to Utah, and abroad in Belize, for anglers looking to learn saltflats fishing. Our all-inclusive fly fishing trips range even farther. Whether you’re looking to fish European mountain streams, saltwater tropics, the secluded waterways of Patagonia, or remote New Zealand backcountry, there’s a trip here for your kind of travel.

Upland Hunting & Wingshooting Trips

Upland hunting trips combine expert guidance, well-managed cover, and time-tested shooting instruction to help you settle into the rhythm of the day. Our wingshooting trips take you to world-class lodges. Get a taste of the U.K.'s bird hunting tradition at a historic estate in Scotland. Venture to Argentina and hunt some of the most prized dove hunting territory in the world.

If you want to stay closer to home, try any of the dozens of Orvis-endorsed properties and shooting grounds across the U.S. and Canada. Local guides who know the land they love and love the work they do are proud to invite passionate hunters to discover the birds and landscape of their region.

A Different Kind Of Adventure Trip

A different kind of adventure trip puts fishing or hunting first, with expert guidance and days shaped by conditions rather than itineraries. We offer varied adventure travel from warm-weather excursions to trips that mix time shooting and fishing with cultural exploration.

• Orvis group trips are a great option for friends and small groups of outdoors enthusiasts. We put you in the middle of the action with luxury lodging, spectacular views, and days of fishing or hunting alongside local guides.
• Warm-weather fly fishing adventures place anglers on productive saltwater flats and coastal fisheries in prime destinations, including the American South, the Caribbean, and Central America. Chase tarpon along Florida’s Gulf Coast or stalk bonefish on Bahamian flats.
• Multi-activity adventure travel combines guided fishing with additional outdoor or cultural experiences. These trips are a good fit for groups with mixed interests. Spend time on the water and then go hiking, observe local wildlife, or explore the local food and lifestyle.

Great days outdoors have a way of staying with you. Orvis trips and schools make sure those days are done right.
