Coach & Minibus Tours
Delight your guests with authentic and captivating experiences in Dartmoor National Park. Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable local guide will design itineraries tailored to international or local visitors' interests, abilities, and location.
Guided tours can include a scenic drive with photo stops; gentle or moderate level walks; visits to a Dartmoor farm, markets selling local produce, arts and crafts; village/town; and cafes with cream teas, or pubs for drinks/lunch/dinner.
Your group will be enthused and entertained by behind-the-scenes insights and commentary along the way as we explore magnificent granite tors, fascinating archaeology, beautiful flora and fauna, mystical myths and legends about giants, pixies, dragons, witches, ghosts, and Hound of the Baskervilles; as well as what life is like living up here on the Moor.
“With our (coach) tour today Emma was outstanding in her knowledge enthusiasm and love for her topic and experience and was enjoyed by everyone! I would recommend this tour to all.” - Christine Jorgensen
Corporates & Organisations
Invite your management team or staff outdoors for an active and engaging experience that can support organisational objectives such as teamwork, employee engagement and performance, leadership, sustainability, creativity, strategy planning, and wellbeing.
Dartmoor offers opportunities for enjoyable exploration and learning as well as more challenging environments with its elemental weather and terrain.
“We had a great group walk with Dartmoor's Daughter. We spent the morning in two groups at slightly different paces (upon request) walking around and learning about Haytor and its surrounds as part of a company event. The weather was on our side and we were joined by our dogs (on short leads due to nesting birds). In arranging the walk, we were supported by Emma and the team suggesting appropriate venues (as we were expecting staff from our four offices across the South West) and she was also able to recommend local venues as a lunch spot afterwards. We had a really lovely morning and hope to arrange another walk with Dartmoor's Daughter soon.” - Plymouth KG
Retreats
Relax and refresh by including walks as part of your retreat with friends, loved ones, or colleagues. Dartmoor’s undulating hills, rocky crags, lush woodlands, and copper-gold coloured rivers offer opportunities for mindfulness walks, meditation in nature, wild swimming, visiting sacred sites, and more.
“Emma’s retreat was pitched perfectly, with just enough going on to feel led and held, and just enough downtime to take a minute for yourself should you wish to. Her authenticity and wealth of knowledge, her expertise in creating ritual and telling stories, all make for a wonderful experience always - but very much so for a weekend in the heart of Dartmoor soaking up its energy, history and beauty. Emma and the team have such respect for the land and the area, and such passion for enabling others to experience it and enjoy it. A really wonderful weekend - I was not ready to leave.”

Whether you are a Home Education group, University, College, or Language School we can design and tailor themes, routes and topics for your group based on learning objectives, abilities, and location including geology, archaeology, myths and legends, farming, flora and fauna, and more.
“Best Dartmoor experience ever: Emma is absolutely brilliant. We have been on various outings with her as part of a Home Ed group and she always engages the children (and adults), through her fantastic knowledge and wonderful stories. Her love for Dartmoor is infectious and we always come away filled with joy and happiness.” - Becky
“Incredible way to spend an afternoon! I booked a large group tour as part of a university conference I had organised. From the booking process and all the questions, to the end of the tour, was just fabulous. Emma was an absolutely wonderful guide, and tailored the tour perfectly to us all. She was knowledgeable on such a wide range of topics from urban legends about the area, to history and archaeology, as well as flora and fauna. The whole group thoroughly enjoyed the tour and I will definitely be back! She also brought her dog along with her so it really couldn't have been a better day, a truly perfect afternoon enjoying the beautiful and interesting scenery that Dartmoor has to offer!’ - Issy C
