We have carefully selected the companies who are members of the Trusted Adventures alliance of adventure travel companies. Each member shares a common respect for the environment and the cultures and traditions we encounter in our travels.

…Cultures and ecosystems should be respected.

Ecotourism is responsible travel that conserves natural environments and sustains the well being of local people. Trusted Adventure trips which promote protection of natural resources, preserve cultural heritage and bring economic support to local communities through tourism activities. Trusted Adventures companies support the following global environmental conservation organizations:

• Travelers Conservation Trust
• The International Ecotourism Society
• Center for Responsible Tourism
• Cultural Survival
• Conservation International
• The Nature Conservancy
• Rainforest Alliance

…Integrity and personal accountability matter.

From our guides to our office staff to our owners, Trusted Adventures companies are differentiated by our longstanding commitment to delivering on our promise of a high quality adventure experience. We maintain the highest professional standards for our trips, from our personalized service to our friendly and approachable style, as well as holding ourselves accountable for flawless trip execution.

…Our success is measured by our most recent traveler.

We are small companies paying close attention to each one of our travelers. We love sharing experiences after trips, allowing us to relive the fun, joy and excitement, as well as find ways to constantly improve our trips. Our clients are our most important source of feedback and we are proud of our return visitor rates, which are as high as 85%.

…Sharing the journey with you is a privilege.

Trusted Adventure trips are more “up close and personal” travel experiences. What do we mean by this? The owners of Trusted Adventures companies are very involved in development of new trip itineraries, guide selection, and the equipment used on our trips (even down to the recipes we select). Our trip “guest-to-guide” ratios are lower (generally 8 to 1) and we travel in small groups (generally 8 to 15). Our guides dine right alongside you and share their stories with you. Memorable journeys are about personal connections.

…An authentic experience becomes the most memorable one.

Many of our guests tell us what they remember most about their Trusted Adventure trip is some small interaction they had with a local host, a realization that they could do something they never thought they could, or perhaps something they learned that was totally new to them about someplace far, far away from their everyday life. We believe that using local guides who are native to their areas and who know the most off-the-beaten path places matters to your trip experience. Authenticity matters – a lot.
