Dear Sandy,

"My passion is travel and I play outside - this I know of myself!" Could this be your mantra? Your sanity? That means it time to take action! Join us for a short getaway on a sea kayak adventure in the San Juan Islands this summer - June is Orca Whale Month, and the best time to see the whale residents of Puget Sound. Plan a custom safari to East Africa or start planning for that trip of a lifetime to New Zealand or the Galapagos Islands. With discounts up to $540 OFF what are you waiting for?

Did You Know? A custom trip offers the greatest amount of flexibility for your specific travel dates and typically costs no more than our scheduled programs. We offer a 10% discount to those who organize a group of six or more. Check out our Custom Tours for more details - or click here for info on our Green Kayak Retreat Special!

Hear what our Real Travellers are saying about their custom trips: "My wife and I have been around the world and consider ourselves seasoned travelers, but both of us shed a few tears at the airport departing this charmed country [and our guide]. I'm still struggling to articulate what a momentous experience this was for us, but suffice it to say that I will never forget my time in Bhutan." --Joseph W. '09
