Charter, Group, Custom/Private Trips
Charter and Group Trips
O.A.R.S. has been specializing in Charter and Group Trips since 1969. If you have a group—whether it's BIG, small...or medium—ask about a group discount relative to the size of your group, destination and trip duration.
What's the difference between a Charter and a Group Trip?
Group Trips are available to a group of any size wishing to travel together on any one of our existing departures. Depending on the departure, group trips may or may not include other O.A.R.S. guests.
Charter Trips are an exclusive departure on an existing O.A.R.S. adventure travel package for your group only. This means your departure date becomes exclusive and is not offered or available for general sale– it's just for you and your group.
Apart from having a trip filled with a mixture of fun, relaxation and pure outdoor stimulation, perhaps your group has a special interest or focus? Here’s a list of themed departures we’ve facilitated in our 40 years of offering great outdoor adventures:
- Archaeology
- Astronomy
- Bluegrass and Classical Music
- Geology
- Hydrology
- Incentive /Rewards
- Generational bonding
- Outdoor Skills
- Educational (Alumni associations, riperian and water studies and biological control)
- Photography
- Pre-wedding and Wedding Parties
- Reunions (families, college and classes)
- Team Building
- Gourmet Cuisine
- Watercolor Painting
- Wine Tasting
- Yoga & Massage
What's your group interest? We're sure there are many more ideas out there and would love to hear about them! Call us to discuss your thoughts, needs, departure dates and applicable group and charter rates.
Private and Custom Trips
Have you thought or dreamed of a special adventure designed just for you and your group?
We can help to customize each and every component of your vacation; from the dates you choose to travel, the length of your trip, the destination/s and activities...to the menu, the wine list, the type of boats you'd prefer and even your choice of guides. If you would like O.A.R.S. to assist you in organizing your own private trip, we recommend you contact us as far in advance as possible to allow adequate time to discuss your many options and make arrangements for your needs. We offer a 30-45 minute consultation at no charge to help develop your expedition requirements. Just tell us some of the details, like when you want to travel, your special interests and budget. With this information we'll take care of all the details and design a custom trip especially for you!
