At Xtreme Bookings, we believe every great adventure starts long before you arrive at the trailhead or boat ramp, it starts with booking the right company.

That’s why it was an honor for our Co- Founder, Beth Orehosky, to be invited onto the Trust Issues podcast with nationally recognized consumer advocate Dale Cardwell. The show helps consumers make smarter purchasing decisions, and this episode focused on something we’re incredibly passionate about: helping travelers confidently choose quality outdoor adventure providers.

During the conversation, Beth shared why Xtreme Bookings was created, how years spent working as a professional guide shaped our mission, and what travelers should consider before booking experiences like rafting trips, zipline tours, scuba dives, ATV excursions, horseback rides, and more.

Too often, people choose an outfitter based solely on price or the first result they find online. While that may work out, taking a few extra minutes to research a company can make a significant difference in your overall experience.

We discussed the importance of reading authentic reviews, asking questions before booking, understanding a company’s safety culture, and looking beyond flashy marketing to find businesses that truly put their guests first.

That philosophy is exactly why Xtreme Bookings exists.

Our goal has always been to make adventure travel easier by connecting travelers with trusted outfitters while giving exceptional guides and companies the recognition they deserve. We know firsthand that the people leading these trips are passionate professionals, and we want travelers to feel confident when choosing who they’ll trust with their adventure.

We’re grateful to TrustDALE for the opportunity to share our mission with their audience and help spread awareness about making informed decisions when planning outdoor experiences.

Whether you’re heading out for your very first whitewater rafting trip or planning your next bucket-list adventure, we hope this conversation gives you the confidence to book smarter and adventure more.
