ABOUT

Embark is an adventure travel company that offers once-in-a-lifetime adventure tours for those who want to explore the most remote corners of the planet.

Embark specializes in custom adventure travel – each group typically has a unique itinerary, works with us on their itinerary, and picks the dates of their travel. Embark is always working toward two main priorities, developing trips that are both active and cultural, with an extreme focus on interacting with local communities and breaking down cultural barriers.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.

Profound love for the great outdoors
