The Pacific is back next summer 2025. After the huge success of Pacific I and II, and countless requests to bring it back, we’re running this hit Expedition through the most remote countries in the Pacific. This is simply, the best way to visit this off the grid region. The Pacific is infamous for it's nightmare logistics and slow paced days. It's the last place you want to travel solo to. You'll have so much fun with your Pacific travel family, getting stranded on a remote atoll won't sound so bad! Embark on an extraordinary expedition through 7 Pacific island countries, where each day brings a new adventure and unparalleled beauty awaits. From the pristine shores of beautiful Palau, the historical depths of Micronesia's Truk Lagoon, the captivating majesty of the Marshall Islands,  the endangered fleeting culture of Kiribati, and the quirk oddities of Nauru,  this journey promises an unforgettable exploration of diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and the limitless wonders of the Pacific. Join us in this unique Expedition and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Absolutely unforgettable. Traveling through Central America was so much more than a trip. It was an experience built around connection and shared adventure. From volcano hikes to pyramid sunrises, every destination was stunning, but what truly made it special was the group I shared it with. I’ve come home with a head full of memories, several crazy stories, and a few friends for life.

The best introduction to this part of the world. West Africa is sometimes called "Africa for beginners". I can see it. Mostly laid back, beautiful coast, incredible sightseeing and smiley locals. Add in the mix the Vodun culture, the colourful dances and thrilling rituals and you have an adventure to remember. Benin has quickly rose to being one of my favourite countries and the expedition family some of my favourite people.

·Libya I·4 days ago

History, history, history! Wow, is all I can say. Libya's recent history has created an isolation from tourism, and made this a relatively untouched Mediterranean gem. The Roman and Phoenician ruins are just mind-blowing. The trip out to the Algerian-Libyan border of The Sahara Desert is long, but well worth it to see Ghadames. Definitely say, "Yes"!

·Pamir Highway·4 days ago

What a hilarious group of explorers who made the long drives fun! The guys were great dancers,too, when faced with rejection by the local females at the bar/dance hall, they had no problem dancing with themselves! Music, song and "car dancing" kept the mood going the whole time. Views were outstanding in The Pamir region.

·Afghanistan X·4 days ago

I really cherish the people I met on my 1st "YES", I said to Afghanistan. It was a small group of very empathetic and adventurous people. We were all nervous at first, until we settled into the pace of our Expedition led by Elena. The people, the lead, the guide and drivers, and the shop keepers were so welcoming and professional. Kindest and most generous people I've met in recent years. I highly recommend everyone visit Afghanistan.
