Carefully curated trip itineraries to explore the world in unforgettable ways

There are journeys that are unmatched, destinations that are unrivalled and places that leave their mark in an indelible way. These are some of the memorable elements that have been woven together to create the ultimate travel experience. These are no ordinary experiences – these are Extraordinary Explorations.
Prefer to journey off the beaten path to jungles where jaguars and ocelots roam? Then explore Belize, where there are jaguar crossing signs on highways and Howler Monkeys call home. With its kaleidoscope of tropical fish, coral reefs and underwater caves, this is a water lover’s paradise; its mysterious archeological sites make it an explorer’s dream.
