The A.C.E. Experience

Adventure into the wild. Capture the journey. Evolve beyond limits.

A.C.E. Expeditions stands for Adventure. Capture. Evolve.

It’s not just a name — it’s the structure behind everything we offer.

We believe meaningful experiences happen in three stages:

You step into something new.
You document it so it lasts.
You leave changed because of it.

That’s the A.C.E. Experience.

We operate in three distinct categories that can stand alone or be combined into one fully immersive journey:

Adventure

Adventure Elopements and guided expeditions designed to immerse you in wild landscapes and meaningful places. From hiking and camping to exploring local gems and cultural hubs around the city, we curate experiences that blend nature, story, and environment—while we handle every logistical detail packing to printable itineraries.

Capture

Capture – Adventure elopements are at the core of what we do. Our documentary editorial approach keeps you present while we remove the mental load. For something extraordinary, ask about our private jet destination package, including a complimentary outbound flight. Capture is also available for retreats, events and intentional brand content days.

Evolve

Our educational offerings and live demonstrations. Outdoor skills, trip planning strategy, bushcraft fundamentals, and self-sufficiency training designed to equip you long after the experience ends.

TESTIMONIALS

Our trip to Vancouver, Canada, was guided by Sonny, who met us at the airport with a clear multi-day itinerary and handled all logistics.

Day one focused on the city. We explored local neighborhoods, hidden gems, and Granville Island, visiting artisan shops and food markets and trying the famous clam chowder pot pie with a Granville Island Wheat Ale “FUGLY.” Sonny also introduced us to street performers, local artists, and shared insight into urban wildlife.

The following days took place in a secluded wilderness bushcraft location Sonny had prepared in advance. We learned primitive skills using bamboo for shelter building and water purification—new materials for us despite being survival instructors. Highlights included backcountry hiking, fire-making on a snow-covered mountain, wild birds landing on our hands, and cooking meals over an open campfire. All equipment was provided.

An expedition is an organized journey into the great outdoors, designed to explore, learn, and connect with nature. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of natural landscapes, away from the distractions of everyday life.

During an expedition focused on the benefits of being outdoors, participants can experience the profound impact of nature on their well-being. The journey often includes activities like hiking, wildlife observation, and primitive fire, all of which encourage mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for the environment. Being outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and boost overall happiness.

These expeditions also foster a sense of adventure and curiosity. As you explore forests, mountains, and rivers, you gain a greater understanding of the ecosystems around you and how to enjoy them responsibly. Whether it’s witnessing a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain peak or listening to the calming sounds of a forest, expeditions provide a meaningful way to reconnect with nature, recharge your spirit, and develop a lifelong love for the outdoors. Returning home with all the memories captured with expert photography.

As an avid adventurer and accomplished survivalist from NAKED AND AFRAID Season 17, Episode 5, I've dedicated my life to capturing the essence of the great outdoors while equipping others with the skills needed to navigate and thrive in nature's embrace. With a lens in one hand and survival tools in the other, I lead explorers on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries. Whether it's freezing the moment as waves crash against towering cliffs or imparting essential survival techniques under the vast canopy of the wilderness, my goal is to inspire, educate, and ignite a passion for both the art of life and the confidence of survival. Join me on an adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, where every image tells a story and every skill learned is a step towards self-reliance in the great unknown.
