The Untourist Identity

Because our group tours aren't just about ticking boxes, they're about living the adventure. We design offbeat guided group trips that go beyond the mainstream experience- from trekking mountains, to surfing, scuba diving and snorkeling, sailing and island hopping tours, to exploring remote beaches, lagoons, waterfalls, to roadtrips, wildlife safaris, and cultural travel experiences that actually connect you with the travel destination.

We keep things authentic by working with local partners, guides, boutique stays, and take you to hidden gems that not many people know of yet. Add to that a trip leader who handles all the chaos, while you just focus on sunsets, stories, and soaking it all in. At Untourist Escapes, we ensure every group trip you join gives you the perfect blend of nature, culture, adventure, history and wellness, so you don't just visit a place, you truly experience it!

Whether it's a road trip adventure, tropical adventure, a coastal retreat holiday, or even a New Year's group trip with a fun crew, our Escapes are built to create some core memories for you of a truly "untourist" destination. Promise!
