Seeking the Extraordinary
Great Expeditions provides Life-Changing Travel Experiences for travelers AND for the people and places they visit. Established in 1996, authentic, boutique, personalized itineraries are the company's signature style, and we strive to work with service providers with the same passion and ethos. Through our dedication to the extraordinary it will be the little secrets and hidden gems that can truly set your travel experience apart.
It's About Relationships
Our business model is not about a one-time sale, but about developing relationships. Equally important to the trip you just took is ensuring you will return to plan your next adventure and will also be confident in referring your friends and family. We work closely with boutique, often owner operated, hotels, lodges, guesthouses, tour operators and guides who want to share their world with the same enthusiasm we have for planning it and you have for experiencing it.
Experience Matters
We have our finger on the pulse of the industry and current travel trends. We participate in educational conferences and familiarization trips; we have memberships in tourism organizations; we network with other travel professionals; and we listen to our clients’ feedback. We also travel extensively ourselves and bring our valuable firsthand experience into your travels.
And, we’ve been doing this since 1996!
Travel Planning Is Collaborative
Traveling authentically doesn’t mean you have to do it yourself; likewise using Great Expeditions decades of professional service doesn’t mean you are not part of the process. We understand that the anticipation of travel planning can offer as much enjoyment as the actual trip. As a result, working with us is a collaborative process. We take the time to consult and then to research the best itinerary to suit your needs. From there, it is a simple matter of a bit of paperwork, and we handle all the details — booking flights, ground logistics, accommodation, tours and travel insurance options. Leave the hassle and time-consuming process to Great Expeditions – it’s our job, which allows you to do yours!
We are Not for Everyone
We recognize that our services are not a match for all travelers. The best value will be for those whose travel preferences match our own style and expertise. Travelers who value authenticity and want to delve a little deeper and follow the path less traveled a little further, then Great Expeditions is for you.
