Our Approach

Why small group travel?

As fellow travelers ourselves, we understand the joy of sharing experiences with friends. That’s why we’re all about small groups. We’re not just passionate about travel; we’re passionate about the community that travel can create. Our travelers are a diverse group of like-minded individuals who share the same values and make great travel mates. To keep things personal and friendly, our groups never exceed 10 people. Our hosts are travel enthusiasts just like you, eager to meet new people and make lasting connections. You won’t be a tourist on a standard tour; you’ll be part of a tight-knit community, exploring together with friends who share your sense of adventure.

On the Way to a New Era of Travel

At the core of our company is a deep appreciation for how travel can transform you. When you travel to a new destination it isn’t just the beautiful landscapes that leave an impression on you – it’s the new perspectives, new connections, and new understanding of different ways of life that leave you impacted. It’s these experiences that influence the way you live and stretch your mind. With this in mind, all our trips are curated to introduce you to new cultures, experiences, people, and ways of living so you can walk away impacted and with an expanded mindset.

OTW to new cultures

Roast coffee with micro farmers in Guatemala, learn the art of block printing in India, visit Buddhist temples in Thailand, and so much more.

OTW to new experiences

Whether it’s setting sail across Indonesian Islands, learning to dive in Thailand’s tropical waters, conquering new heights on Guatemala’s volcanoes, or learning about the artisan world in Mexico – our trips are tailored to connect you to new experiences and ignite your sense of adventure.

OTW to new friendships

Our trips emphasize a community environment through a small group approach that prioritizes human connection, shared values, and meaningful experiences together.

Our Travel Style

Our small group trip approach focuses on staying in shared accommodations and creating a cozy travel vibe by joining activities together and having group meals. We also understand the importance of downtime, so we plan enough free time for you to decompress and recharge during your holiday. What also makes our trips unique are our trip leaders who are travelers themselves and love to share their knowledge and insider travel finds with you.

What our customers are saying about us

  • Comet
    Traveled: Mexico

    I’ve never felt more at ease traveling out of the country!
    Hannah had everything planned from the transportation, excursions and dining experiences so we could relax and go along for the ride. The daily curated trips were second to none, and we learned from local artisans and female collectives which was a truly special experience. This was my first time traveling with a group of only women and we made fast friends on this trip. I could not recommend On The Way Travels enough!

  • Kaitlin
    Traveled: Guatemala, Mexico, & Thailand

    “I’ve traveled with On the Way in three different countries (Guatemala, Mexico, and Thailand). Each experience has been incredibly planned in ways that allowed our travel group to intimately connect with fellow travelers and local artisans and producers. Each trip has a different tone, some more arts-focused, others more active, but each is intentionally crafted with a smart balance between activity, rest, and planned connection. The hosts are kind and thoughtful and they work to ensure your experience is seamless, your comfort is prioritized, and you are able to fully embrace local cultures and traditions. Each trip has changed me and left me feeling inspired and fulfilled. I’ve had so many firsts on these trips and trust On the Way to craft an exceptional travel experience.”

  • Adrian
    Traveled: Guatemala

    “A unique chance to conquer a physical and mental challenge with like-minded individuals, a hell of a trip leader, and in the most beautiful natural setting. The memories I made on this trip will last a lifetime, but more importantly, inspired me to seek more and invigorated me to be more.”
