OUR STORY
Adventure Unbound sprang out of the desire to create a dedicated home for tours crafted in an unbounded spirit of adventure. For years, people have known us as ROW Adventures (which isn't going away) but the name "ROW" undoubtedly caused some confusion. We would often get comments like, “Where do you guys raft on the Galapagos Islands?” Or, our favorite, “You do trips on the Inca Trail! We didn’t know you could raft there.” We recognized that our ROW brand should never go away – in fact, we should strengthen it as purely a rafting brand, so we did! In doing so, we created Adventure Unbound for everything we do outside of river rafting!
It has been the lifelong passion of Peter Grubb and his wife, Betsy Bowen, to found and grow the company. They have dedicated their souls, hearts, and lives to sharing enriching, life-changing adventure travel experiences with others.
Their own devotion to providing our guests with the best possible adventures around the globe has been answered by the trust of travelers who continue to share their adventure travel dreams with us. We’ve earned this trust over the years with our intimate, personal connection to each adventure we offer. Peter and Betsy personally research and develop all of our itineraries with the same care and passion we set out with. Though ROW began with an emphasis on white water rafting trips, we’ve expanded and now offer an array of adventures around the globe. Our ambition to travel the world unbounded gave creation to Adventure Unbound’s heart and mission.
