Adventure Travel With Boundless Journeys

Travelers who prefer small groups, authentic experiences and cultural encounters should take a look at Boundless Journeys' selection of trips. Vacation styles stretch from trekking and nature trips to safaris and walking excursions. Group sizes top out at 16, but many trips only have eight to ten travelers. This opens up such opportunities as having lunch in the home of an Icelandic family, enjoying a wine tasting at a vineyard in Tuscany, or a spontaneous game of "frog" with the locals in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Boundless Journeys also offers customized luxury trips through its Private Collections.

The destinations cover the globe, from Palau and the Antarctica to Botswana and Cambodia. Depending upon the locale, the company prefers to lodge its travelers in locally run hotels and inns, rustic mountain refuges, posh seaside inns, or on a few trips even camping out under the stars. During the trips, the cuisine is chosen to reflect flavors of the region travelers are exploring.

Boundless Journeys was selected as one of the "Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth" by National Geographic ADVENTURE, February 2009; and a "World's Best" tour operator by Travel + Leisure, August 2009.

The Boss' Pitch: Why Travel With Boundless Journeys

Boundless Journeys' President and Founder, Matt Holmes says: "Since the beginning, Boundless Journeys has been committed to offering exceptional, authentic, enriching travel experiences for our travelers. Our trips are created from our own staffs' travel experiences, allowing us to hand-craft creative, unique itineraries that are truly The World's Great Adventures. Our trips are incredibly diverse - from sea kayaking in Palau, to challenging trekking in the Himalayas, to easygoing walking tours throughout Europe and Latin America… but the common thread is that no matter where you go, our expert local guides will reveal each destination's highlights through a variety of active adventures."

"Since our average group size is just 6-10 guests, and never more than 16, our travelers have access to experiences that would be impossible in a large group. Dining on local specialties at a private home in Peru's Sacred Valley, or cruising the Turquoise Coast with just a handful of other travelers, our guests truly engage with the places we explore."

Recognition from Travel + Leisure, National Geographic Traveler, and other respected publications means a lot, but there is nothing we enjoy more than hearing directly from our guests about their amazing travel experiences with Boundless Journeys."
