SMALL GROUP ADVENTURES

As your personal adventure travel consultant we will sift through the many tour options you have and choose the experience that best reflects your values, interests and lifestyle as a progressive and responsible traveler looking for the very best a destination has to offer.

From the moment we first make contact, our relationship with our clients will be a partnership in adventure, we will work together via the telephone, internet or if you live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest we can meet for a coffee, a Washington wine or a local micro brew, to cater to your interests, passions and hobbies in hopes of helping you find an experience that will offer you the adventure, discovery and wellness in your life that you are hoping for. We will craft your itinerary to fit your needs and desires. Whether you are searching for a day of balance or discovery, a weekend of romance or relaxation, a sun and fun vacation in the tropics, adventure trekking in a remote corner of the world, we can help you organize the precise solution to fit your needs.

Chuck West, founder of Cruise West, pioneered the philosophy that drives Cruise West to this day: “to provide up-close travel that focuses on the destination - its scenery, wildlife, natural history and culture.  - all in the company of limited numbers of like-minded travelers.”

Chuck was a very wise man….We will do my best offer our clients this kind of unique experience.

-I Am Here To Get You There
We are dedicated nature lovers, travel aficionados, and outdoor adventurists, committed to providing you with the most interesting and exciting nature vacations possible. There is one main facet to our work; To find a small group expedition that is the best for you. You will find that there is absolutely no travel guru more enthusiastic about their mission to find you YOUR perfect adventure than us.

-Exciting Accommodations
In keeping with our philosophy that we do not have to really “rough-it” to experience             nature, the accommodations provided in the small group programs that we will recommend to you usually includes the finest and most interesting hotels or lodges available in the areas we are visiting... specially chosen to bring you closer to nature and offer you an intimate look at the area without sacrificing comfort. These exciting accommodations are not just a “place to sleep” but rather often add to the entire nature vacation experience. They all include private bathroom facilities unless otherwise noted.

-Luxury Meals...Off the Beaten Path
After a full day of immersing yourself in the world’s greatest natural sights, it is comforting to know that you can return to fully prepared meals with a variety              available to accommodate vegetarians as well as special dietary needs.  Meals we provide generally reflect local cuisine with an adaptation towards North American and European tastes. I truly believe that you can observe the wonders of nature without sacrificing the pleasure of good food.

-Physical Fitness
You may or may not be a full time adventurers... you could be an animal lovers, nature enthusiast, weekend warrior and have a desire to view wildlife in its own environment. You may not be able to climb mountains like Ed Viesturs or dive with sharks like Jacques Cousteau, but we are willing to bet that you do possess the same thirst for encounters with nature. Since we feel that the splendors of nature should be available to everybody, We encourage people of all physical capabilities to get out and experience these programs, we promise to do my best to find the program that fits your fitness level, and in then end, we only work with operators with guides that take good care of each and every member of their group.
