ADVENTURE TRAVEL SPECIALISTS

Untamed Borders offers bespoke trips and small group tours to some of the world’s most interesting and inaccessible places.

Untamed Borders was formed in 2008 by professional fixers, supporting journalists wanting to reach hard to access areas in order to provide cutting-edge stories. Today, we still serve media professionals as well as helping adventurous travellers to experience unusual and largely unvisited areas of the world.

FIXED DATE TRIPS

We offer an array of fixed date group trips across a number of activities and destinations. Whether it’s cultural, skiing, trekking or marathons, we’re sure you’ll find the right adventure for you.
