Crafting exceptional travel experiences since 2010
Dawn Fenland was born from a simple belief: travel should transform, not just transport. Founded in 2010 by Emma Richardson after years of working as a travel guide across six continents, our company began with a mission to create journeys that go beyond the ordinary tourist experience.
What started as a small operation specializing in Southeast Asian adventures has grown into a respected tour operator offering exceptional experiences across the globe. Today, we proudly serve thousands of travelers annually, helping them discover the world through authentic, immersive experiences.
Despite our growth, we've remained true to our founding principles: small groups, local expertise, and a commitment to responsible tourism that benefits both travelers and the communities we visit.
We believe travel should connect you with the heart of a destination, not just its surface. Every journey we design includes experiences that bring you closer to local culture, traditions, and people.
Our guides aren't just familiar with the places they show you—they're part of them. Their personal insights, stories, and connections transform good trips into unforgettable journeys.
We're committed to practices that minimize environmental impact and maximize benefit to local communities. We believe travel should be a force for good in the world.
We understand that each traveler is unique. That's why we take the time to understand your interests, preferences, and travel style, tailoring experiences accordingly.
