Custom Trips

Plan a Trip Just for You

Private or small group. Personally guided, or arranged through trusted local partners. Tell us what you're dreaming of, and we'll research and design it around you.

Not every trip fits a template

Our scheduled expeditions cover a lot of ground, but they're not the only way we travel. If you have a destination in mind, a group of friends who want something built just for them, or an idea that doesn't fit anywhere on our tours page, we can design a trip around it.

Maybe that's somewhere we've already fallen for, the Andes, the Amazon, the Mongolian steppe. Maybe it's a place neither of us has been yet. Either way, you tell us what you're after, and we do the research to make it real.

Two choices, four combinations

Every custom trip starts with two decisions. Mix and match however fits your group.

Format

Private

Just your group, on your dates, built entirely around what you want to do and see.

Format

Small Group

We open the trip to a few fellow travelers, keeping the group small and personal.

Guide

Personally Guided

We travel with you personally, from arrival to departure.

Guide

Locally Arranged

We design the trip and arrange everything through vetted local partners on the ground, even when we can't join in person.

How it works

1

Tell us your dream trip

Destination ideas, rough dates, group size, interests, and budget. The more you share, the better we can design around it.

2

We research and design

Drawing on firsthand field experience and a network of vetted local partners, we put together an itinerary built specifically for your trip.

3

Review your proposal

You'll get a detailed itinerary and a clear cost estimate before you commit to anything.

4

Book and go

We handle the logistics so you can focus on the trip itself.

A few things to know

Timeline

Start the conversation as early as you can, especially for international trips or larger groups. Reach out even if your timeline is tight and we'll tell you what's possible.

Pricing

Custom trips are priced individually based on destination, length, and group size. You'll always get a clear estimate before you commit to anything.

Group size

Private trips can be any size. Small group trips stay intentionally small and personal.

Start planning

Fill this out with as much or as little as you know so far. We'll follow up to talk through the details.

This just helps us tailor options. It's not a commitment.
