Hunawé's Story

Hunawé was born a bit like that. Not around a business plan printed in twelve copies, but along mountain trails, at bivouac camps, on train departures, during evenings in mountain shelters and weekends outdoors that leave memories long after the hiking boots are put away. At its origin, a group of Captains from the Chilowé Club: women and men who guided, lit fires, told the stories of territories, provided reassurance in the rain and witnessed the birth of quite a few friendships between two switchbacks.

With them, a conviction: a powerful adventure doesn't depend on the number of kilometers traveled, the height of the summit, or the stamp on your passport. It depends on how you inhabit a place, what you take time to observe, what you're willing to slow down for. You don't need to travel to the other side of the world to experience something meaningful.

Hunawé is a collective of women and men who live outdoors, work outdoors, guide outdoors. Companions, guides, naturalists, passionate about mountains, forests, coastlines, rivers, snow and bivouacking. Different profiles, different territories — but one common thread: doing things with heart, rigor and coherence, never taking themselves too seriously.

We champion a vision of nature travel that is more mindful, sensitive and deeply rooted: small groups, committed guides, carefully selected territories, sustainable mobility and low-carbon adventures. Nearby departures that truly transport you, weekends where you slow down, treks that leave room for weather and group pace, bivouacs that reconnect you with what matters.

Hunawé tells the story of a bond between people, nature, and the path. Stepping outside isn't just about changing scenery—it's about changing pace, bringing more presence into your days, rediscovering the taste for simple things—walking, watching, listening, sharing, wondering. The rest of the story unfolds outdoors.

Our adventure approach

Small-group micro-adventures, designed and guided by those who truly know the ground.

A collective, not an agency

Hunawé is not an agency: it's a collective of local guides — our Captains — who live outdoors year-round and lead every adventure themselves, from scouting to the final night under the stars.

Adventure with the tribe

Our departures take place in small groups, on set dates. You may not know each other at the start, but two days later you've shared far more than just an itinerary: meeting fellow travelers is part of the adventure.

Closest to life

Small groups, soft mobility, low-carbon, environmental respect: we prioritize territories with mindful travel and a "leave no trace" spirit.

The team creating your journey

Passionate experts in France on the ground to guide you every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions about the agency

Do you still have questions? Here are the most frequently asked questions about how our agency works.

Hunawé designs your trip directly in France, with advisors who know the ground daily. You avoid intermediaries, gain in responsiveness and benefit from advice on genuinely lived experiences — no standardized marketing catalog.

Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.

Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).

Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.

Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.

Payment is made in full in France, in euros, with Nomadays — secured by credit card or bank transfer. You have no payments to make in France: everything is pre-arranged (accommodations, transfers, guides, activities). You just need to budget for meals outside the itinerary and personal purchases.
