Over the last 25 years, Dag Goering and Maria Coffey have pursed their passion of exploring the world. During many long, adventurous expeditions they have collected a treasure trove of gems, which they assemble into unique, beautiful journeys to share with their guests.

The Team: Close to two decades of developing and running trips has resulted in a Hidden Places 'dream team' – a close network of like–minded operators, local services providers, trip leaders and guides – people who have become close friends and share the same ethics and ideals.

The Guests: Dag and Maria have nurtured an ever–growing circle of Hidden Places guests with whom they have shared many wonderful adventures. Typically these guests return again and again, and often end up bringing their friends and relatives into the fold.
