2020 GeoEx Catalog

Led by Kate Doty (an award-winning, travel-planning visionary with decades of experience), GeoEx’s Premier Access team arranges unique explorations in iconic and remote regions of the world, providing unparalleled per- sonal attention, privacy, and customization. Many of our Premier Access guests are high-profile people looking to keep a low profile—something we’re adept at maintaining. These adventurers have savored gourmet dinners alone in the Pyramids, trekked to the world’s highest mountains, met privately with luminaries like artist and activist Ai Weiwei and Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu, and honey- mooned in the fabled Rub al Khali (Empty Quarter), sand- boarding and four-wheel-driving across endless dunes to a luxuriously appointed, traditional goat-hair tented camp, which welcomed them with a customary coffee ceremony and the fragrance of frankincense. They’ve moved about by local ferry and pedicab as well as Rolls Royce and pri- vate jet. The exciting examples keep coming.  The Most Extraordinary Journeys Travel feeds the soul, waking us up and providing a fresh view of the world and our place in it.
