Tucan Travel - Join us for your adventure of a lifetime.

Whether you want to travel on local transport and immerse yourself in the local culture or hightail it across the rugged countryside on a powerful, modern overland truck, or choose your own personalised itinerary, Tucan Travel has a travel style for you.

If you want to meet as many people as possible along the way, or just keep it small and intimate to give you that ‘friends on tour’ feeling, you will be able to see the world your way with our five distinctly different travel styles.

We offer travel options in Latin America, Antarctica, Asia and The Middle East for all travellers and Africa, South America and Europe specifically for 18 – 35’s.

In 1997, they joined forces with an old adversary and fellow tour operator, Matt Gannan. With their combined local knowledge and experience they pioneered many of the company routes and their ongoing passion for the continent helped Tucan Travel become one of the largest and most successful tour operators in Latin America. In 2003 Budget Expeditions was developed as an independent youth brand for 18 to 35s. In 2008 Tucan Travel took Budget Expeditions back under its wing as a travel style under the parent company name. The amalgamated Tucan Travel worldwide brand offers more than 300 group itineraries in 63 countries, as well as a range of independent stopover packages, so that any traveller can ‘take the adventure of a lifetime’. We can proudly guarantee the high standard of our tours because in 95% of destinations we operate them ourselves and do not sub-contract to other operators. On occasions where we use local guides, they are trained and supported by us and are expected to adhere to the top quality service our clients have come to expect. Staffed by a team of avid travellers, the company shares and encourages its clients’ exploratory spirit and the desire to see the world in an authentic way. Tucan Travel owns a fleet of comfortable, modern Mercedes Benz custom-built vehicles which comply with European emissions standards and are well equipped to deal with the demands of the varied terrain on tour. The company is committed to offering exciting and adventurous itineraries while encouraging responsible travel practices on the road and in its offices. We offer our clients the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions of our tours and pledge to reduce our company emissions by managing our energy efficiently and offsetting business travel. Tucan Travel has repeatedly proven that overland adventure travel can be comfortable, safe and inspirational for clients of all ages, cultures and fitness levels.
