Share this:

This year is a special one for Penguin Travel as we celebrate our 35th anniversary. Over the past 35 years, we have been dedicated to organizing adventure travel tours, taking our clients to some of the most exciting and off-the-beaten-path destinations around the world.

Since our start in 1989, Penguin Travel has grown from a small team of passionate explorers to a leading name in adventure travel. Our success is rooted in our unwavering commitment to our core values: a spirit of discovery, a dedication to providing unique travel experiences, and a solid commitment to responsible tourism practices. As we look back on the past 35 years, we are proud of the countless adventures we've facilitated and the vibrant community of travelers we've built.

We celebrated our anniversary last weekend, bringing together our team, loyal clients, and partners for a memorable event. It was a moment to reflect on our journey, share stories, and look forward to the future with excitement and anticipation.

Our staff, the backbone of our company, share a love for adventure and a deep understanding of the destinations we cover. As we reflect on our journey, all of us  at Penguin Travel express  our commitment to continue being driven by our spirit of discovery and offer new adventures to exciting and unknown destinations. We are hopeful that more travelers will dare to travel off the beaten path and explore the world with us.

At Penguin Travel, we take pride in organizing small group tours to a wide variety of fascinating destinations. In the Middle East, our trips take travelers to the historically rich and culturally vibrant countries of Syria, Yemen, Iraq, and others, providing insights into ancient civilizations and unique traditions. In Africa, we focus on the beautiful and diverse regions of West and Central Africa, allowing travelers to experience the rich mix of cultures, wildlife, and landscapes that this continent has to offer. Central America is also a prominent part of our offerings, featuring tours that explore its lush jungles, pristine beaches, and vibrant local communities. Our best-selling tours include the enchanting regions of Central Asia, the majestic Caucasus, and the picturesque Balkans.

Beyond these destinations, our active tours cater to adventure seekers, offering horse riding on scenic trails, trekking to majestic peaks and remote valleys, and cycling through diverse landscapes. These enriching and exhilarating experiences help travelers connect deeply with the places they visit and the people they meet.

However, our adventures are not just about exploration but also about preservation. We firmly believe that with great adventure comes great responsibility. Over the years, we have implemented numerous sustainable and responsible practices to ensure that our travels positively impact the environment and the communities we visit. From supporting local economies and promoting cultural preservation, our commitment to sustainability is integrated into every aspect of our operations.

As we celebrate this milestone, we are more committed than ever to leading the way in sustainable adventure travel. Our future plans include expanding our range of eco-friendly tours and working closely with local communities to ensure that tourism benefits all. Looking ahead, we are excited to introduce new destinations and innovative travel experiences that will inspire our clients to continue exploring the world responsibly. We believe that adventure travel has the power to transform lives, foster a deeper appreciation for the natural world, and promote global understanding and cooperation.

To our loyal travelers who have been part of our journey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your passion for adventure and trust in us have been the driving force behind our success. For those who are yet to embark on a journey with Penguin Travel, we invite you to join us in exploring the world's most extraordinary places, off the beaten path and into the heart of adventure.

As we celebrate 35 years of adventure, we are reminded that our journey is far from over. With each new destination and each new traveler, we continue to write the story of Penguin Travel – a story of discovery, responsibility, and the relentless pursuit of the extraordinary.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here's to the next 35 years and beyond!
