Adventure Travel

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”

~St. Augustine

 

Are you ready for Chapter 2?

How would we describe adventure travel?  One word:  authentic.  If you see yourself as wild at heart or if you want to take the road less traveled, you are an adventure traveler.

It is looking at travel in a new way, seeing the world, making new friends.  For some, adventure traveling is the true way to experience the cultures and meet the locals.  For others, adventure travel includes pushing your body to new limits.

One of the greatest things about traveling is that it expands your mind, and changes your outlook.  You can expose your children to new experiences and broaden their horizons.

“Why shouldn’t I just do it myself?”  Using a qualified travel professional adds to your experience and saves you time and money.   We know the ins and outs of the industry and can steer you clear of pitfalls.  We can also save you on average between 30 to 50 hours of research.  You let us know what you want and we’ll navigate the waters with you.

Climb the Andes, spot lions on an African Savannah, swim with whale sharks, follow jaguars in Brazil’s Pantanal or watch birds in exotic locations.  Hike or cycle your way through Europe, see the Northern Lights, white water raft the rivers of Costa Rica or snorkel the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.  We will get you to truly unique destinations before the rest of the world catches up.

When getting there is half the fun.

Trips range from small group trips (these are not your typical passive bus tours) to individual accommodations
