What does Adventure mean to you?


“Adventure is the moments that stay with you long after you’ve returned.”

Jimmy Carroll, Co-Founder at Pelorus


Adventure isn’t one thing - it’s many. It’s the thrill of an expedition and the quiet wonder of discovering a new culture. It’s stepping beyond what’s familiar, sharing unforgettable moments with loved ones, and seeing the world from a new perspective.

Every journey we design is shaped by what adventure means to you - bold or subtle, shared or solitary, near or far.

To explore this idea, we turned to the people who live and breathe it every day: our team. And here’s what adventure means to them.


“For me, adventure is about curiosity and connection.”

Geordie Mackay-Lewis, Co-Founder

We’ve seen that adventure isn’t just about adrenaline but it it can be found in quiet, shared moments too. Those conversations that shift your perspective or the discoveries that connect you more deeply to the world around you.

In Socotra, meet with a local fisherman who shares his story and the rhythm of life untouched by the outside world.

Spend the afternoon with the ama-san free divers in Japan, learning about their matriarchal traditions before sitting down together over a homemade lunch.

Or journey to Papua New Guinea, where you’ll meet remote tribes and witness the Baining Fire Dance, a hypnotic ritual of flame, rhythm and tradition found nowhere else on Earth.

“Adventure to me is exploring untouched places.”

Laura Watson, Travel Designer

For many of us, simply stepping into a new country or landscape can feel like an adventure.

We’ve taken clients sailing through remote archipelagos with Pelorus Yachting, diving unexplored waters and encountering marine life few have ever seen.

From the legendary Kona manta ray night dive to remote wrecks and pristine reefs, our expert dive instructors and underwater photographers open access to some of the most exotic and undiscovered dive sites on Earth.

Or journey to an uninhabited island, where a luxury mobile camp grounds you in the wild. Redefining what meaningful exploration can be.

"It's pushing myself to my limits, mentally and physically"

Charlie Drinkwater, Head of Operations

For some, it's about adrenaline. Testing endurance and discovering what you’re capable of.

We’re working with a client who’s passionate about running, curating a series of marathon-distance routes across some of the most striking landscapes on Earth, from the jungles of Borneo to the deserts of Patagonia, Easter Island, and Bhutan. Each journey paired with exceptional stays, world-class chefs, and recovery experiences to restore body and mind, all while connecting deeply with the culture along the way.

Or set out on a ski-and-sail expedition to Antarctica. Charter a yacht, soar over glaciers by helicopter, reach untouched summits, and ski to the water’s edge.

"For me, it's about seeing through my children's eyes"

Michelle Hemmings, Sales Manager

Adventure takes on new meaning when you experience it as a family. It’s watching curiosity unfold - the joy of seeing your children discover something for the first time, and rediscovering that same sense of wonder yourself.

Anchor just beyond the breaks at Playa Tamarindo, watching them catch their first waves before diving beneath the surface to explore a world alive with eagle rays and whitetip sharks, moments that remind you how extraordinary the natural world can be when seen anew.

Or witness their eyes light up as they spot their first elephant in Botswana, before sharing stories around a campfire beneath a canopy of desert stars.

Because sometimes, adventure is simply seeing the world as they do.
