Here are some of great reasons to travel with ElderTreks:

Small group experience: Maximum group size on our land adventures is 16 - guaranteed.

Expedition ships, not cruise ships (Capacity of 8-200 passengers): On our ship-based adventures, we use expedition ships - not cruise ships. Smaller vessels allow for more personal interaction and reduce our impact at the sites we visit.

Experts with first-hand knowledge: When you book a trip with ElderTreks, you have access to people who have been where you are going. You may deal directly with people who are able to answer your questions.

Genuine travel experiences: ElderTreks takes you off the beaten path on carefully crafted itineraries that are unique and thoughtfully planned. We do not support conveyor-belt tourism, where groups are pushed through a rigid itinerary at the expense of spontaneity.

Sustainable, responsible travel: We support a number of development projects throughout the world, and we make sure you have close contact with local people. During some of our adventures, you have the opportunity to visit schools and orphanages.

Comfortable, charming accommodations: We select hotels based on comfort, location and charm with private washrooms. Shared facilities are only used where there is no alternative, and such exceptions are clearly noted.

Great value: Our many repeat travelers tell us that we consistently deliver high caliber journeys at an affordable price. You will find our adventures eventful, stimulating and great value for your money.
