The Goosebumps Moments
Everything we do is designed to create moments that take our guests out of their ordinary world, making them feel present and in awe.
We know we are successful when guests stop to take pictures, mention that this is something they want to remember and use words like exploring, happy, beautiful, awe, amazed, surreal, unexpected, taking the time, slowing down, taking a few days, peace and calm.
We Do
- We offer slow travel to enjoy the journey and emphasize a deeper connection with the destination, its people and natural beauty.
- Let the natural beauty of the region do the talking.
- Create moments people enjoy first, then want to share as a result of the experience.
We Don’t
- Offer programs that are focused on learning or technical skills outside of industry programs.
- Build programs around digital detox, disconnect in nature or nature deficit disorder.
- Use words like challenge, conquer, survive or bucket list to describe our products or the region.
