Family and Group Travel Options
Rustic Pathways arranges customized travel for individuals, families, and groups throughout much of the year. Each of our custom trips is built with care to suit your specific interests and your budget. Whether you plan to join your children for a few days after their summer trip, or you want to arrange lavish or low-cost travel to one of our destinations at other times of the year, please contact us first. We are experts in the countries we serve, and we can arrange exactly the type of trip you want.

Travel Well and Do Something Special
We have great rates on some of the finest airlines and hotels in the world. Whether you travel in economy, business, or first class, we offer high-quality airlines at reasonable prices. We have great contracts with international hotel chains, as well as wonderful bed and breakfasts, special guest houses, and unique private homes around the world.

We Understand Our Destinations
We operate in a select handful of the most wonderful countries in the world, and we are travel experts in these regions. We work intensively in these countries, maintain professional, overseas operations, employ local full-time staff, and have accurate, current, and helpful local knowledge. When you travel to one of our countries, you are making your arrangements with experts who know and live in your destination.

Travel at the Standard You Wish
Rustic Pathways builds each trip to suit your requirements. Our itineraries offer rich experiences, are great value, and are tailored to the interests and requirements of each family. Frequently, we also deal with families seeking the finest travel experiences that money can buy, and we are comfortable and familiar working with the
world’s top hotels, handling private aircraft movements, and coordinating special access and security where needed or desired.

Wonderful Places with Your Family
We have built our business in the most wonderful countries in the world. These are safe, inviting, culturally-rich destinations that make for great trips for adults and families. We know the ins and outs of these places – the back roads, the special restaurants, the cool markets, the great hotels, and the places everyone hopes to find, but usually can’t. If you are visiting Thailand, The Fiji Islands, Australia, Costa Rica, India, Africa, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Peru, Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, or New Zealand, you can plan a wonderful, customized trip with us.

He will be happy to discuss your family travel ideas with you and will work with you as your trip is planned.

Join Your Children Overseas
Every year, a number of parents join their children overseas at the conclusion of a Rustic Pathways trip. We have staff in each country we visit that is expert at planning a family holiday that flows on after the student’s program at whatever standard the family wishes. We work with you to coordinate your flight reservations on great airlines and provide personalized trip planning for the entire family, creating a customized holiday that suits your budget, interests, and schedule.

Come One, Come All
In many cases, we arrange travel programs for only one parent who may join their son or daughter at the end of a trip. We have done a lot of mother-daughter and father-son trips over the years, and an equal number of mother-son and fatherdaughter programs. In fact, we can do almost anything you can think of because we know our countries and their special places like the backs of our hands.

Part of the Family is Already There!
Starting your family vacation at the end of a student’s summer program makes good financial sense. At least part of the family is already overseas, and their airfare is already paid. If the adults want some time to themselves, they can arrive early and do some touring, golfing, shopping, or exploring on their own before joining their daughter or son at the conclusion of the Rustic Pathways’ student summer program.

Tell Us What You Like, We’ll Do the Rest
We pride ourselves on creating unique, exciting holidays. We run custom trips for adults and families during most of the year, and we have wonderful clients with a lot of different interests. We can arrange fishing trips, charter yachts, set up shopping excursions, and provide guided four-wheel-drive safaris; or we can book you a car, draw you a map, and send you off on a self-drive holiday. We know where to find great food and great entertainment, and we also know the tracks through the mountains that lead to little-known villEdad, exotic antique stores, and amazing scenery. If you want a private helicopter, a good horse, or a quiet hut – that’s in our bag of tricks too. We will build a trip that suits your needs and tickles your fancy regardless of your budget and time parameters.

Great Places and Warm Welcomes
Join us in Southeast Asia, The South Pacific, Central America, South America, China, India, or Africa for a memorable and fun family holiday. We look forward to welcoming you to our corners of the world. It’s always our pleasure to get to know the parents of our students and share our countries with them.

Why Should the Kids Have All the Fun?
Utilizing our expert staff in the region of the world you wish to visit, we will build you an unforgettable trip. Our deep local knowledge ensures great holidays planned just for you and your family! Please contact us at (800) 321-4353 and ask for Marc. He will be happy to discuss your family travel ideas with you and will work with you as your trip is planned.
