Why Luxe Adventures
Like asking a friend who’s been there.
Only with decades of travel experience, worldwide connections and a world of possibilities you might never have considered.
01
It’s personal from the start
We take the time to get to know you. What you love, what you don’t, and what you’ve always imagined. Then, with a little curiosity and a lot of experience, we might just introduce you to something extraordinary you never knew existed.
02
Experience makes the difference
Which ship? Which cabin? Which lodge? Which season? Sometimes the smallest decisions make the biggest difference. Years of exploring, asking questions, learning from industry experts and following our endless curiosity have taught us what works, and what doesn’t, giving us the insight to make recommendations that go well beyond the obvious.
03
Connections that make a difference
It’s not just what you know, but who you know. Our worldwide connections with local experts, luxury hotels, cruise lines and travel partners open doors to exceptional experiences, exclusive privileges and thoughtful touches that make a journey even more special.

We share our experience, explain the options and offer honest recommendations, always guided by what matters to you. Every journey is designed with you in mind. From our first conversation until you’re safely home, we’re here to look after the details, and you.

Meet Rachel
Hi, I’m Rachel. I’ve never quite lost my curiosity.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the world, its landscapes, its wildlife, its people and, of course, its food. I’m forever curious about what’s around the next corner.
With 71% of our planet covered by water, I couldn’t resist exploring beneath it. I learnt to scuba dive at 50, and now nature and wildlife, above and below the surface, inspire every journey I take.
You know that question, “If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, who would you choose?” Well, mine would be Sir David Attenborough. By a country mile.
And once you know that about me, you’ll understand why I’ve chosen to specialise in luxury soft adventure travel.
From growing up in Norway to exploring some of the world’s most extraordinary places, my experiences and the people I’ve met have shaped the way I travel.
Luxe Adventures is my way of sharing that knowledge, alongside a small team who care as much about the details as I do.

Fiji Naturally, by Luxe Adventures
We love Fiji so much, we gave it its own website.
After four decades exploring Fiji, I’ve discovered that some of its greatest treasures are found beyond the familiar resort destinations.
Fiji Naturally is where we share our love of intimate island hideaways, spectacular scuba diving and genuine Fijian experiences, shaped by the local knowledge and friendships we’ve built along the way.
