What makes an Encounter

We don’t travel simply to see the world. We travel to encounter it.

  • AdventurousEncounters

    Take the road less traveled, embrace the unknown, and create memories that last a lifetime.

  • CulturalEncounters

    Discover new cultures, embrace different perspectives, and connect through the experiences that bring us together.

    Come together, give back, and create hope through meaningful acts of purpose and community.

  • WildEncounters

    Get closer to the wild and discover nature in its purest form.

Past Encounters

From our community

“I came on my own and left with eleven sisters. Nothing about Zanzibar felt like a tour; it felt like being let in.”

Layla, Encounter Zanzibar

“Every detail was taken care of, so all I had to do was be there. The tea country at sunrise will stay with me for years.”

Priya, Encounter Sri Lanka

“I did not know I could climb the Storr at dawn, swim in a loch and then laugh until midnight. I am already saving for the next one.”

Claire, Encounter Scotland
