Since the early days of developing Explorer membership, ExoTrails has always seen membership as more than a way to unlock additional features. It has also been a way for us to better understand what people truly need throughout their outdoor journeys.
With every product update, every piece of feedback, and every way people bring Explorer into their trips, one need has become increasingly clear:
Some people do not want Explorer for just a month or a year. They want a longer-term way to keep it with them.
That is why Explorer Lifetime was created.
With a one-time payment, members can unlock Explorer for life* and continue using its outdoor tools without recurring renewals.
What does Explorer Lifetime unlock?
Advanced tools for outdoor journeys
Explorer is designed to support the decisions people make before, during, and throughout a journey.
Offline maps let users download routes in advance and continue following them even in areas with limited connectivity.
Compass mode and off-route alerts help users stay aware of their direction and know when they move away from their selected route.
Four map layers and weather forecasts support better preparation and help users adjust plans based on real conditions.
Waypoints make it easier to save important locations, information, and notes along the journey.
With TrackMate, users can create unlimited groups to stay connected and follow the journey together.
These tools are not designed for just one trip. When used regularly, they can become part of a broader toolkit that supports everything from planning and exploration to sharing and managing outdoor journeys.

Exclusive benefits for the first 500 Lifetime Explorers
The first 500 Lifetime Explorers will receive 10,000 EXS and be recognised with two distinctions reserved for the founding generation of Explorer Lifetime:
Chartered Explorer — a signature badge recognising those who were here from the very first chapter.
Founder Club Member — a place within a pioneering community, with exclusive benefits and member-only activities to come.

Unlike other benefits that may continue to expand over time, Chartered Explorer badge and Founding Club Membership are limited to the first 500 members only. Once this milestone is reached, the distinction becomes a lasting mark that says: you were here from the beginning.
And this is only the beginning of the exclusive benefits and experiences that will be created for the Founding Club.
Who is Explorer Lifetime for?
Frequent outdoor explorers
If trekking, trail running, camping, or outdoor travel has become part of your lifestyle, Explorer Lifetime offers a simpler option: pay once and continue using Explorer across the journeys ahead.
Tour guides, local guides, and small to mid-sized tour operators
For people who turn exploration into a profession, Explorer can go beyond being a personal outdoor app.
A guide or tour operator can use Explorer to scout routes, prepare offline maps, check weather conditions, save important locations, navigate in the field, and connect groups through TrackMate.
These tools can support the entire process, from preparing a trip to guiding guests on the ground.
This is also a group ExoTrails wants to work more closely with in the future: documenting real-world use cases, understanding operational challenges, and exploring how technology can better support tour development, guiding, and the promotion of local experiences.

Founders and entrepreneurs in travel, outdoor, and lifestyle
ExoTrails is gradually expanding from an outdoor app into a broader ecosystem connecting technology, community, local experiences, and new forms of collaboration.
For people building products or businesses in these sectors, Explorer Lifetime offers a way to get closer to ExoTrails earlier and follow the platform’s development more closely.
The value can come from experimenting with new applications, sharing practical insights from real operations, connecting with others in the same space, and exploring how outdoor technology can add value to a business, service, or customer experience.
Those who want to become part of the ExoTrails journey
ExoTrails is still evolving — from outdoor technology and a growing community to new ways of connecting explorers, guides, tour operators, and businesses.
Explorer Lifetime is a long-term choice for a tool and platform that you believe you may continue using, working with, or participating in for years to come.
From an outdoor app to a broader platform
Explorer Lifetime arrives at a time when ExoTrails is also entering a new stage of growth.
Alongside continuing to improve the product for individual users, ExoTrails is expanding the way its technology can be applied across tourism, outdoor experiences, community activities, events, and business partnerships.
This opens up more possibilities for Explorer.
A route can serve not only an independent explorer, but also become part of a structured tour experience.
A group tracking tool can do more than help friends stay connected; it can also support guides while leading a group.
An outdoor community can be more than a place to share journeys; it can also become a space where brands, tour operators, and people building new products discover relevant opportunities to collaborate.
So with Explorer Lifetime, ExoTrails is not only asking:
“How long can you use Explorer?”
The bigger question is:
How can Explorer become part of the way you explore, work, and build outdoor experiences?
What comes next?
In the months ahead, ExoTrails will continue bringing Explorer Lifetime into more real-world experiences.
It could be a challenge that helps people build a more consistent outdoor habit.
It could be stories showing how Explorer is used on real journeys.
It could be activities that connect founders, entrepreneurs, guides, and others helping shape the future of outdoor exploration.
We are not ready to reveal everything just yet.
But if you want to arrive earlier, go deeper, and become part of what ExoTrails is building next, Explorer Lifetime is one way to begin.
One purchase. Endless journeys.
