What is Adventure Travel? Active, immersive, exhilarating • Adventure vacations combine travel with action, allowing you to explore well off the tourist track, in the most impressive, intimate, and fun way possible

• Hike, bike, raft, horseback ride, snorkel, surf, even wine taste (you name it) – whatever you like to do, adventure vacations have something for everyone

Exceptional guides • Selected for their boundless energy and deep insider knowledge, a good guide will take you behind-the-scenes to soak up the best of the local sights and culture • Simply put, guided travel means exploring in ways you couldn’t on your own and ensures the richest, most fulfilling experience possible

Small groups • Traveling with a group of 18 or less takes you well off the beaten path, experiencing the beauty, culture, flavor, and excitement of a destination from the perspective of an insider • Small groups offer one-of-a-kind experiences and ultra-personalized service

Eat, play, sleep • Who says wining and dining aren’t a part of adventure travel? • Half the fun of an active day in the field is coming home to a well-earned meal and a comfortable bed at a carefully-vetted local establishment

Explore while doing the things you love

WHAT IS ADVENTURE TRAVEL? | 10 REASONS TO TRAVEL WITH AUSTIN ADVENTURES | YOUR GUIDES & LOCAL EXPERTS | WHAT WE OFFER | LODGING | CUISINE | WHO TRAVELS WITH US? | A WORLD OF ADVENTURE AWAITS | 3

Worry-free travel • Adventure vacations are carefully structured to maximize your vacation time • No matter how exotic the destination, you can relax from start to finish, knowing that every detail has been considered – and that your only job is to show up and have fun

Your style, your pace • Adventure vacations are as active as you want them to be. Feeling energetic? Opt for a more rigorous hike. Craving a lazy morning? By all means, sleep in! • Whatever it takes for you to enjoy the vacation you deserve, just say so – flexibility is the name of the game

Structured & spontaneous • Part of the magic of an adventure vacation is waking up with a game plan, but allowing for spontaneity as the day unfolds • Expect the unexpected is ingrained in the adventure travel mantra – sometimes it’s those unexpected moments you’ll cherish the most

Where challenge meets reward • On an adventure vacation, guides encourage guests – kids and adults alike – to let go of their everyday mindsets and to step safely out of their comfort zones • Whether tackling a 30-mile bike ride or leaping from the rim of a 20-foot waterfall, adventure vacations are about trust and trying new things

10 Reasons to Travel with Austin Adventures

We’ve got your back Plans change. We get it. Our tour deposits are fully refundable and transferable and we stand alone in our promise of a 100% money back guarantee. So, when a competitor cancels a trip last minute for low enrollment, come to us (as many do) – our doors are always open, our policies are always flexible, our trips are always running.

Family owned & operated For us, “family-run” isn’t just a term, it’s at the core of who we are. Give us a call or shoot us an email and chances are you’ll hear back from Dan, founder and CEO, Carol, travel consultant, Kasey, VP of operations, or Andy, guide and photographer. Here at Austin Adventures, we treat our guests as we do each other – like family.

Homegrown guides & small groups Our carefully vetted local guides are the lifeblood of our business. Many have worked for us for decades. With a maximum of 12 guests (18 on family trips) and the lowest guest-to-guide ratio in the industry (6:1), expect nothing short of highly personalized, above-and-beyond service.

Uncanny attention to detail We’ve put careful thought into every detail of your experience, from start to finish. We know we’ve done our job well, however, when the fine-tuning (equipment, transfers, lodging, meals, etc.) melts into your periphery and you’re left with the simple joy of the experience itself. So, go ahead – unwind, unplug, connect – and leave the rest to us.

Exceptional value, without compromise Every year, we adjust our rates, terms, conditions, and inclusions to secure ourselves as the leader of the value pack. We guarantee no extra transfer, equipment rental, or last-minute fees. We’re proud to offer the best value in the industry while remaining steadfast in our commitment to quality.

Over 40 years of meaningful, transformative, and sustainably operated travel

Award-winning adventure & loyal alumni Earning top honors from Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler are pinch-me-now moments here at Austin Adventures. We’re humbled by these awards, but by far the best accolade we could accrue is the loyalty of our Alumni, 98.8 percent of whom indicate they would travel with us again. We couldn’t be more grateful for our repeat travelers.

The WOW moments Decades ago, we discovered the power of anchoring a special moment of a trip with a thoughtful, unexpected touch, which our guests coined “The Wow Factor.” You may not recall the name of that high mountain lake in Montana, but you’ll never forget the sight of your guide appearing trailside with a pineapple carved like a fish on a silver platter.

35 years in the field What sets us apart isn’t just decades of field experience, but the relationships, trust, and perks that come along with it. We’re one of the few outfitters, for example, with access to lodging within America’s national parks. Our long-term, mutually respectful partnerships make all the difference when it comes to offering an unmatched, insider experience.

A commitment to your safety Your safety is paramount. Our guides are hired on this principle and trained to keep you safe in the field. This policy extends to our partners – to the rafting outfitter or rancher you might meet along the way – as well as to our equipment, which is always top-notch and carefully maintained. Our safety record, we’re happy to report, is impeccable.

The best, most authentic lodging & cuisine We go to great lengths to select accommodations that meet our strict standards and also reflect the unique culture and the energy of the places we visit. The same goes for our cuisine. For us, fine dining can mean anything from brunch at an out-of-the-way bistro in Barfleur to a barbecue by the campfire in Bryce Canyon.
