We understand that our first-time guests take a great leap of faith in deciding to travel with us. After all, adventure travel involves a tremendous amount of trust, and we want to ensure you are well-matched so you can best enjoy your vacation and have fun.
Does the company match your travel style?
We like to think of ourselves as global explorers. We enjoy great food and good accommodations. We stay active by day to see and feel like part of the places we travel. We're pleasantly tired at night with a heart filled with the memories of the day and an excitement for what comes next.
Does the company provide good value?
Your vacation time is precious and we create each itinerary with that in mind to maximize your experience. We also take a look at each and every cost that goes into a trip to make sure it provides good value. We retain the most experienced guides as they provide the best value—and, of course, the best trip!—for our guests.
Who will be guiding the trip?
There are two main types of active adventure leaders: the tour chaperone and the local expert. Our adventures are proudly local led. Our leaders and guides live, breathe, and love their trips because as locals they are an integral part of their communities. Their connections run deep and pride in their piece of the world is contagious. That's why our leaders and guides consistently score 4.8 out of 5 from our guests, year in and year out.
What is the guest-to-guide ratio?:
We run our trips with an 8:1 guest-to-guide ratio which gives you, the guest, the most attention and best experience. Other outfitters have a 10:1 or even 40:1 ratio. Ask!
What is the average group size?:
Our average group size is 8-10. Big enough for natural camaraderie to develop but small enough to ensure personalized attention.
Who owns the company?
MT Sobek has been owned by the same people for over three decades, folks passionate about adventure travel who stand behind our 50+ year legacy and have a clear vision for the future.
What do other guests say about their trips?
Our guests consistently rate our trips 4.8 out of 5. We're happy to connect you with past guests who have traveled on an itinerary you may be interested in so you can get their unbiased review.
How long has the company been running trips in this country or region?
Our experience and local connections span half a century in most regions. To name just a few first trips in places we continue to visit: Nepal 1969; France, the Alps, and Iceland 1970; Alaska and California 1970; Kenya 1971; New Zealand 1971; Galapagos 1971; Patagonia 1972; Ethiopia 1972; Australia 1972; Antarctica 1989.
Adventure travel is in our DNA. Collectively, our staff has lived, worked, trekked, rafted, climbed, kayaked, and cycled on every continent. We've led groups, scouted routes, crafted itineraries, and built relationships in every destination—all to ensure you have the perfect experience on every MT Sobek trip. Quite simply, we live for adventure travel.
