Have you ever... explored by dog sled? Slept in an igloo... become friends with locals? You're about to. Stay up to date on all things small group, traveler.
With an average of 19 travelers (maximum 24), make friends, form connections, and immerse yourself in the destination.
Hotel schmotel. Stay in igloos, tented camps, and villas - places where the big groups can't go.
Traveling with local experts means uncovering hidden wows and getting the cultural inside scoop.
Check off the must-see sights as well as countless moments you couldn't find in any guidebook.
Let's shout it from the rooftops: our tours are designed just for smaller groups. What does that mean? Access to restaurants like that hole-in-the-wall place the locals go. Sleeping in accommodations that will make your friends all wildly jealous (anyone for some zzz's in a tented camp in the Sahara... which you'll get to by camel!?). Chase your curiosity on a journey just for small groups.
The floating islands and ancient ruins of Peru. Glaciers, rainforests, and fjords in Patagonia. The Cloud forests of Costa Rica. The lands here are home legends and vast biodiversity, but are also rich with culture and traditions. Whether you’re sharing lunch in a Peruvian Quechua community, getting to know a gaucho in Chile, or tasting fresh baked goods and coffee at a local finca in Peru, you’ll get a 360-degree view of it all.
Whether you’re heading out on safari in search of the Big 5 or riding a camel through the Moroccan desert, Explorations will bring you closer to the action in this fascinating region. Learn about Samburu folklore from a tribe member in Kenya. Get closer to wildlife, the culture, to nature…and to each other.
From sea to shining sea, the United States offers rich experiences for Explorations travelers like spending time with a descendant of the last Kootenai chief in Montana, learning the secrets of shucking from an oyster farmer in Maine, dogsledding in Alaska, and so much more. Get to know a deeper side of America.
