COME TO LIFE Off the Beaten Path

It’s like we were standing on a deserted beach in the pitch dark, waiting and waiting for sunrise. Then finally, there was a glimmer of light.

Cannon Beach, Oregon

The glimmer grew into brightening, hopeful colors until at last, sunlight poured over the horizon bringing the world to life.

What joy and relief to share those first hugs with grandkids, parents, and sorely missed friends and family. What glorious release in that first trip, or in getting those travel plans on the calendar. At this writing, there are still protocols to follow in places that are welcoming visitors, but travel is back. It does, literally, feel like a new lease on life.

Where will you go and what will you do to reclaim your connection to the planet’s beautiful, special places? Maybe it will be a road trip through canyon country, or a wildflower hike in the mountains. Maybe you’re more than ready for a wildlife quest to see a bear, or wolf, or whale. You might crave the exhilaration of a whitewater ride, or yearn for the restorative bliss of a peaceful paddle or long walk on a wild beach.

Whatever your pull or passion, we invite you to turn your face toward the sun and come to life with us. Feel the earth under your feet. Smell the ocean, hear the birds—taste the freedom, off the beaten path. We’ve been saying this for years, but it feels especially relevant now: We’re your travel partner for life. When you’re ready, adventure awaits...

Our planner took my dreams about our trip, the dynamics of our family, and our interests into account when she planned our trip. JC, Private Custom Journey to Australia

It was amazing! We appreciate that all the details were taken care of. The activities and guides really added to the richness of our experience. JK, Private Custom Journey to Alaska

A super adventure that exceeded our expectations. The trip was perfectly paced, with plenty of activities without feeling rushed. BM, Hiking in Yellowstone Small Group Adventure

WHY MAKE OFF THE BEATEN PATH Your Travel Partner for Life?

“Off the beaten path” can be both a place and a concept—and of course it’s also our very distinctive travel company, which epitomizes the road less traveled. After your first OBP trip, you’ll know why so many people trust us with their travels. Come exploring with us!

You Have Options

Diversity is a winning strategy in nature, and it works for us, too. That’s why we don’t expect you to fit into a predetermined niche when you travel with us. Choose what’s best for you from our travel options: • Fully Guided Small Group Adventures • Independent Private Custom Journeys • Single-Destination Vacations (Guest Ranches, Fishing Lodges, Wilderness Retreats)

Every Trip is the Trip of a Lifetime

Each and every trip you take with us—even if it’s your third foray to Alaska—feels like the trip of a lifetime. That’s because your journey is filled with remarkable sights, experiences, and encounters that will resonate in your heart and mind for years to come. Shared travel stories are family heirlooms for life.

You’re Not a Number, You’re Family

In a typical year, about a third of our guests have traveled with us before. Referrals from those friends account for another third. That means the world to us. You are more than our client, you are part of the family. We remember that your daughter is a vegetarian, your spouse is a birder, and you always opt-in for the sunrise hike. If you’re not already part of our intrepid tribe, consider this your warm invitation.
