More Than Luxury: TCS Offers Unique and Challenging Explorer Experiences
While TCS World Travel is renowned for our luxury private jet expeditions, we also provide curated “Explorer” experiences that elevate the adventure and surpass traditional vacation experiences. These unique offerings, interspersed with private jet rides, provide active and invigorating alternatives while exploring remote destinations and unique cultural and historical sites.
Beyond the Private Jet: Embracing the Spirit of Exploration
We understand that some travelers seek adventure and challenges beyond the confines of luxury accommodations and fine dining. Explorer experiences cater to this desire, offering opportunities to connect with nature, history, and diverse cultures in ways that traditional vacations may not provide.
Reaching the Remote and Unique
We leverage our expertise and extensive global network to grant access to off-the-beaten-path locations that are difficult to reach independently. For instance, our Luxury Tours of Central and South America encompass a tour of the Galápagos Islands, a remote volcanic archipelago teeming with unique wildlife. Explore these islands by yacht, visiting uninhabited areas and observing animals rarely seen elsewhere, like the famous blue-footed booby and giant tortoises.
Active Exploration Opportunities
While luxury is a TCS World Travel hallmark, Explorer experiences often involve more physical activities and challenges. Our luxury tours through ancient kingdoms offer an Explorer experience in Cappadocia, Turkey, a region famous for its stunning “fairy chimney” rock formations. Here, you can soar above this otherworldly landscape in a hot air balloon, hike through unique terrains, and explore ancient underground cities while immersed in the breathtaking scenery.
Balancing Luxury with Adventure in Travel
Our expert team prioritizes comfort and convenience, carefully selecting accommodations and dining options that balance practicality with pleasure. In the Antarctic, stay aboard the Quark World Explorer, a luxury polar ship equipped with private balconies, an observation lounge, a spa and an outdoor heated pool. Even while engaging in physically demanding activities and exploring remote locations, you’ll still experience a high level of comfort and service.
