Explorations by Collette

Explorations by Collette is a new kind of vacation created specifically for those travelers who want to explore our world in a small group setting. Adhering to the traditional Collette ideals of quality and service, these tours offer a more personalized travel experience as well as stays at charming villas, classic “boutique” hotels, and breathtaking resorts. With only 16-24 passengers per trip, you’ll enjoy the vibrant cultures and rich scenery of a variety of destinations – from the rugged terrains of Africa to the exotic panorama of the Galapagos Islands – all the while combining the ease and convenience of group travel with the freedom to have unique and personal adventures off-the- beaten-path.
