Why travel with Adventure + Awe
when you have so many options?
Personalized Small Group Adventures
We meticulously design and lead small group adventures that can be personalized too! Arrive early or stay longer with trip extensions, and choose your own air preferences.
Small Groups, Big Discoveries
We keep our groups small, from 8 to 16 (averaging 12), whether it's on land or on the water (ocean or river). We know this is the best way to experience new destinations, so we don't feel like tourists, but see the world like a local - whether it's the food and wine, the culture, or even being out in nature.
Make New Friends
For us, our best adventures include unique experiences and allow our travelers to connect with others - in the group and in-destination. There’s nothing like sharing awe-inspiring experiences with friends, old and new.
Immersion in Local Culture
We find opportunities to immerse ourselves in local culture, go off the beaten path, and step out of our comfort zones to learn more about new destinations, food and wine, and different cultures.
Unparalleled Service
We go above and beyond to make your adventure amazing. We handle every last detail; provide outstanding and direct communication before, during, and after your trip; and even include a few surprises.
Unsurpassed Value
Our trips include a wealth of value, including all accommodations, most meals, daily activities related to the theme of the trip, and even most gratuities. And we back it up with a Best Price Guarantee.
Best Price Guarantee
If you find a lower price, we’ll match it. When you and your friends travel with Adventure + Awe, we guarantee you will always receive the best combination of value and experience at the best price.
