The Crave Travel Experience

We value authentic experiences that make a positive impact on the communities we visit and the travelers who take our trips. We strive to partner with local businesses and entrepreneurs with a focus on community outreach, sustainable practices, and female, minority, & indigenous owned companies. We recognize the impact that travel has on the world, and we want to work with the people of the communities we visit. Sustainability and conservation are a large part of our ethos and we ensure all aspects are ethically and locally sourced whenever possible.

This is Group Travel

We have a Zero Tolerance Policy when it comes to Bullies and Debbie Downers.

Crave Travelers are welcoming to all persons who believe in positive travel experiences.

Our guides are Crave Travel Advocates and our group’s overall experience is our priority – we will not cater to nor bend to please the never satisfied, persistent complainers, meanies, or down right miserable people. That being said, we understand everyone has bad days…this happens. We will work through it!
