"Since planting their flag in the States in 2021, Pelorus have been orchestrating dream getaways – and they’ve now witnessed a 30% surge in inquiries for their trips to the American Mid-West. It seems scores of City Slickers are relishing the chance to unleash their inner-Wyatt Earps and Calamity Janes, courtesy of some epic road trips.

Imagine horseback riding through iconic national parks in Colorado and Utah, rock climbing, taking a helicopter ride over Bryce Canyon, or kayaking around Lake Powell. Or perhaps simply chilling in a in a luxury camp in Monument Valley is more your speed? Capped off with a campfire dinner under the stars accompanied by a Navajo Code Talker, offering insights into Navajo culture and history.

That’s just one of the tours Pelorus have to offer: wildlife fans will want to get up close (well, maybe not too close) with the critters in Yellowstone National Park, where they can spot grizzlies, wolves and elk, and witness the majestic American bison in their natural habitat. And what’s a cowboy experience without a little rodeo action? Pelorus also grant exclusive access to behind-the-scenes rodeo preparations, providing a rare glimpse into the heart of cowboy culture. Elsewhere, there’s geothermal wonders to explore, along with white-water rafting, and dinner cooked over hot coals under the stars."

'“To explore Western USA is one thing, but to experience life on a working ranch is another. So remote and removed from anywhere, these vast swathes of land unveil a myriad of opportunity for adventure, combined with space to breath and unwind.”'


Jimmy Carroll, Pelorus Co-Founder

"It’s all part of their mission to exceed clients’ wildest dreams through their vast network of contacts, with tailor-made trips to truly help redefine our view of the world and draw attention to the environmental impact.

So, saddle up! The cowboy comeback is in full swing, and Pelorus is your ticket to the ultimate Wild West experience."
