When Wilderness Travel began its first pioneering journeys back in 1978, little did I know that our new company would become a leader in what has become the "adventure travel" industry. My original conviction has been borne out--that there are many kindred spirits out there who share a passion for exploring the most remote corners of the world.As I continue Wilderness Travel's stewardship, I'm pleased to report that almost 70% of our trip members each year are repeat travelers or direct referrals from past trip members. We are tremendously grateful for such loyalty and we will continue to work hard to deserve it.Wilderness Travel remains a company of and for travelers. How we travel is as important to us as the places we go, and we are constantly innovating, searching out new adventures, and finding ways to improve established trips. Throughout our history, we have also remained true to a principle of concentrating on the quality, design, and uniqueness of the trips, and, above all, of ensuring that you have the very best Trip Leaders.Our Trip Leaders come from all over the world and from all walks of life--they are naturalists, authors, ecologists, archaeologists, art historians, teachers, and mountaineers. Whatever their background, they all share an enthusiasm for guiding and a real joy in introducing you to favorite places, people, and behind-the-scenes spots you never would have found on your own.On our website, you'll find more than 100 off-the-beaten-path journeys in 60 countries, from wildlife adventures to hiking odysseys to expedition cruises. I'm confident we have something that will appeal to the adventurous spirit in you. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
