When you travel with International Expeditions, you travel with a company that not only shows you some of the most remarkable places in the world — but does so in a way that’s as enriching as we can make it. Our escorted tours, planned and continuously refined over almost three decades, include many elements that would be next to impossible to do otherwise. On our rainforest tours, for example, we’ll take you further into the reserves than anyone else, so that you have the chance for some exceptional sightings. And as you learn, you’ll also have a lot of fun and laughter — the joy that comes from making new discoveries in the company of friends who share in the excitement. Our escorted tours are companionable adventures.
Our unique itineraries and trail-blazing spirit have led International Expeditions to be awarded as one of the Best Adventure Travel Companies on Earth by the editors of National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine (2008 & 2009). We are proud to be included on Travel + Leisure magazine’s list of “World’s Best” tour operators and safari outfitters for the fifth consecutive year (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 & 2009). And recently Travel + Leisure rated our 10-day Galapagos cruise aboard the M/V Evolution as one of the “50 most romantic places on Earth.” Our Amazon River tour was recognized in National Geographic ADVENTURE magazine as one of the “25 Greatest Adventures in the World,” and by renowned writer Patricia Schultz as one of the 1,000 Places To See Before You Die. And our Web site was voted part of the "Best of the Web" by Forbes magazine. These and other honors are a testament to our mission of providing guests with the very best experiences we possibly can, and to the passion and dedication that our staff members bring to their work
