   Overview


Adventure Travel Worldwide!
Adventure Center is dedicated to providing you with world-class adventure travel experiences at affordable prices. Choose from a range of over 700 adventure vacations worldwide including hiking and biking trips, cultural tours, African safaris, Antarctic expedition cruises, and much more.

Over the past 28 years their philosophy has remained the same: to enable trip participants to immerse themselves in the country they are visiting; to learn to appreciate its people, cultures and wildlife and the delicate balance necessary for their coexistence. Adventure Center is committed to ecologically sound trips. They use small, locally owned hotels that benefit the local community economically. Small groups have a low environmental impact, and camping trips follow environmentally sensitive guidelines.
