About Off The Map Travels

Since 2011, Off the Map Travels has been customizing unique cultural & adventure trips for independent travelers. Along with crafting & booking the perfect trip, we also offer exceptional pre-trip & during-trip support & advice.

With so many options available online today, it’s often difficult to distinguish the off the beaten path experiences from the all too common tourist traps, making planning a truly unique travel experience very stressful and time-consuming. Off the Map Travels is here to put you at ease. As a member of the ATTA (Adventure Travel and Trade Association) and an Independent Agent for Travel Quest, we have access to many tour operators and in-country destination specialists that offer exclusive, behind the scenes type experiences – for any special interest, that are not available to the “book it yourself” traveler.
