Travel, Redefined
Unique Destinations
We take you to some of the furthest and most unique corners of the world. We’ve developed decades-worth of connections that give you unparalleled access to the world’s most interesting places. Check off bucket-list items and get behind-the-scenes experiences that few travelers do: visit iconic Machu Picchu one day and sit down for a tasting with a local culinary legend the next.
Immersive Small Group Experiences
We prioritize keeping our groups small! Most trips never exceed 12 people and average around 6-8 likeminded travelers. This is because the best types of experiences happen in intimate settings that connect you with the destination and its people. Also, as our trips provide you with access to unique projects and cultural sites, small groups are the only way to sustainably partner with communities around the world. Experience things that big tours would never be able to.
Distinctive Boutique Lodging
Our lodging reflects the uniqueness of each destination. We hand-select portfolios of accommodations for each one of our trips, prioritizing locally owned, higher-end establishments with character – hotels, lodges, safari camps and guest houses that reflect the colors, charm and essence of the place. Comfort is a non-negotiable when it comes to lodging, regardless of whether your home away from home is a luxury tented camp in Kenya or a quaint riverboat in Egypt or a locally owned, garden-like hotel in Baja.
Moments that Matter
Every Discover Corps itinerary includes opportunities for travelers to connect with local communities in a meaningful way, and offers a deeper understanding of a unique and extraordinary part of the world. These moments range anywhere from a two-hour walk with conservationists collecting data in Kenya to an afternoon with the women artisans and entrepreneurs to more involved projects like a 3-day experience caring for elephants in a small village community in Northern Thailand. Regardless of the focus, all of our trips will impact not only the communities we visit in a positive way and leave travelers with something lasting.
Handpicked Expert Guides
Our guides aren’t your typical tour operators. They’re local residents who are experts on the area and its customs. Throughout your trip, they’ll share their lives with you, while introducing you to people and taking you to special local places that most travelers would never know existed. Discover Corps guides are experienced, engaging, knowledgeable and amazing at what they do.
Full-Service Pre-Departure Support
Discover Corps’ passionate, U.S.-based team works to ensure that every one of our travelers feels completely prepared and at ease before embarking on their journey. Our team provides personalized guidance on everything from flights and packing lists to visas and travel insurance, taking the guesswork out of international travel. We’re here to handle the details so you can focus on the excitement ahead. And our support doesn’t end once you depart—our team remains just a phone call or email away throughout your trip, giving you the peace of mind to fully enjoy the experience.
