The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled. Never more than 10-16 travelers—guaranteed

Adventure travel with OAT is a journey beyond the familiar, one that takes you into the very heart of a destination—to meet people where they work and live. Guided by an expert, resident Trip Leader in a small group of no more than 10-16 travelers, guaranteedOAT invites you to explore the meandering routes, the intriguing detours, the slower paths where you can breathe deeply, absorb new sensations, encounter authentic cultures, and make new connections. What you’ll discover is not simply a destination, but a joyful awareness of the moment that reminds you, “This is not just an ordinary trip—it’s a true adventure.” We’ve been creating those moments for more than 31 years. 

OAT can help you realize your travel dreams for a lot less than you thought possible. Together with our regional offices located throughout the world, we’ve been able to establish long-term relationships with many local vendors and hotels. Buying direct brings down our costs—and allows us to pass the savings on to you. And negotiating directly for hotel space also allows us to secure as many single room allotments as possible for our solo travelers.

OATis part of Grand Circle’s family of travel companies, which also includes Grand Circle Cruise Line and Grand Circle Travel, both of which provide unique international vacations to Americans age 50 and older. Since 1992, the non-profit Grand Circle Foundation has pledged or donated $97 million to more than 300 educational,humanitarian and cultural organizations worldwide, including 100 schools, in 50 countries.
