Focus on Expedition Staff and Guides – Being Guides ourselves, we are somewhat biased, but we firmly believe that a great guide can bring an experience to the next level and turn your vacation into something you will remember for years to come. Guides can bring a destination to life by pointing out difficult to spot wildlife, explaining why it is important and how it fits into the ecosystem. They can talk about the people and the cultures you encounter, the history of the area, and present ideas about the future. They create a safe environment where travelers are free to explore and learn at their own pace, and make the adventure a more complete and fulfilling experience. We only work with companies that share our appreciation and are dedicated to using the best guides available in every destination.

We are already working for you - We have chosen a select group of operators to work with. We feel that the trips we offer through these operators are the best available for each destination. We don’t work with good operators; we only work with great ones. We evaluate each operator to ensure they meet our high standards and criteria.

Your Money is Safe - All money we hold for clients is deposited into a Client Trust Account at Santa Barbara Bank and Trust. This money is held until your trip departs, and only then do we consider it ‘earned’ money. This means that if your plans change and you had to cancel your trip, we could return all of the money we are holding for you. Please note that our use of this Client Trust Account does not mean that clients are immune to any published cancellation penalty policy due to cancellation for any reason; all applicable terms and conditions apply.
