1. Cataract Canyon 7-Day Rafting Adventure

2. The Best of Norway's Great Outdoors

Norway is one of the most breathtaking countries in Europe. Explore the deep fjords, immerse yourself in the magic of the Lofoten Islands, and even dip into Oslo for a cosmopolitan adventure.

3. Ultimate Tanzania Safari

4. Alaska by Water, Land & Air

Alaska is as wild as a place can be. On this trip, you can enjoy up-close views of breaching humpback whales, fly over Alaska’s jaw-dropping terrain, and camp on Chichagof Island. 

5. Trek to the Lost City of Choquequirao

You’ve probably heard of Machu Picchu, but you may not be aware of its lesser-known counterpart, Choquequirao. On this MT Sobek trip, you get to explore both of these “lost cities” and make friends with the local llamas.

6. Explore Mongolia

Nomadic culture and traditions have withstood the test of time in Mongolia and on this rare opportunity, you can spend time living this lifestyle as you take in the beauty of the “Land of Blue Skies.”  

7. Hiking Wild Scotland

A hiking trip with pit stops at a whiskey distillery? It doesn’t get much better than that. See if you can spot the famous “Nessie” while you explore Loch Ness.

8. Rafts & Drafts on the Middle Fork of the Salmon

If whiskey and hiking isn’t really your taste, how about whitewater rafting and ice cold beers? MT Sobek teamed up with Idaho’s Payette Brewing Company to put together a 6-day adventure down one of the most beautiful rivers in the country.

9. Uganda Gorilla Safari

Stand face-to-face with chimps, mangabey, vervet monkeys, and of course, the mighty mountain gorilla. And the wildlife adventure doesn’t end when night falls. When you’re not relaxing in the comfortable lodges, head out to track hyenas on thrilling night safaris.

10. Galapagos Wildlife Adventure: Western Cruise

Hike, swim, kayak, and snorkel in the tropical water all day long and relax in the luxury of your own private yacht each night. The access to tropical wildlife here is unbeatable, from swimming with sea turtles to walking with the famed giant tortoise.
