Welcome to Take 3 Travel – Let the stories begin!

Our company sports travel principles gathered over our last 30 years of experience in professional travel and photography, worldwide. Excitingly, our personal involvement puts us in the exceptional position of really knowing the sites and the local people providing a true sense of each country we visit. We don’t take our clients anywhere we haven’t been ourselves first! Our guides are the very best, exhibiting knowledge, enthusiasm and patience. We aim for not only unparalleled wildlife encounters, but also unique insight and knowledge into the ways and workings of the land, the people, the culture, and the environment. We believe if one never communicates with the local people the country will remain a mystery.

The personal interests and well-being of every traveler matter greatly to us. With a maximum group size of 8-10 people, we ensure a more flexible and accommodating journey. We only take small, private groups.

I just returned from a trip to the Galapagos with Take 3 Travel. This trip was a very special and unique lifetime adventure. The experience was amazing. We were accompanied by a naturalist expert in the area with good command of the English Language. The experience in the Galapagos had the right mix of land walks and snorkeling that allowed us maximum access to the wildlife both on land and under water. The naturalist ensured that we were all able to enjoy all activities safely. The catamaran was luxurious with 7 sailors and support stuff. The boat was equipped with all the snorkeling equipment necessary. The culinary experience was above and beyond. Every time we returned from an activity, we were welcomed with a drink and a snack. It was indeed a magical experience. Thank you, Take 3 Travel for a lifetime experience in the Galapagos. You did it again! I love traveling with you!

There are few, if any, other trips where you can be within feet of an array of amazing animals…sea lions, three species of tortoise, blue footed boobys, albatrosses to name a few. The guide and crew were outstanding and made every effort to ensure an enjoyable adventure. Traveling by catamaran just added to this once in a lifetime experience .

It truly is a once in a lifetime adventure and it was so great to help facilitate this for you and your family, Robin!! Thank you so much for the kind review, onto the next adventure!

Traveling with Sunny (Take 3 Travel) is always a great experience and our recent trip to Sicily was no exception. She plans a varied and exciting itinerary that always includes off-the-beaten-path adventures, finds very special lodging, and works with in-country guides who are a huge part of the learning and the fun. In this case, our guide Alice was a vivacious Sicilian with a PhD in archaeology. The theme of the Sicily trip was food and wine (how perfect is that for Sicily!), and highlights included unique experiences like a cooking class with the Duchess Nicoletta in her 17th century palazzo by the sea. We also climbed the slopes of Mt. Etna then had a sumptuous lunch at a nearby winery whose grapes flourish in the lava-rich soil, and made pastries in the beautiful medieval town of Erice. In addition to evenings in the vibrant heart of Palermo and leisurely strolls through the ancient city of Ortigia, one of my favorite days was time spent in San Angelo Muxaro, visiting with local residents of this hill village and getting a sense of not only their history but also their daily lives. Sunny’s trips are extremely well-organized (yet not rigid at all) and I love travelling with such a small group (three couples). I would highly recommend Take 3 Travel and their great selection of destinations.

Excellent experience! From the guides, transportation, accommodations, food, and especially our destinations - culturally, visually, and personally enriching and educational. High point in the trip was definitely the helicopter trip and hike to the Mayan ruins in El Mirador. (and the views of an active volcano sending plumes into the sky:)

Guatemala -- a destination I have wanted to visit for many years .... but I was unprepared for how much I would love it: the beautiful landscape, the imposing and active volcanoes, the inviting, vibrant people and their culture, art and food. Sunny's tour did not disappoint; another memory-filled journey! I highly recommend this or any one of Take3Travels impeccably curated tours!

1 Shared space available

$6,595

Our trip to Egypt features the mythology and history of Ancient Egypt. Highlights include the newly opened Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor, and – of course – the Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza.

Read More....

Egypt is most certainly a fascination for all travelers. From the lure of the Nile to the massive vistas of the desert, mystery prevails. Set back thousands of years in time, the many treasures of ancient Egypt are visually immense.

The celebrated Pyramids of Giza and the paradox of the giant Sphinx reflect the beginning of the adventure. The quest for eternity and the passage to the afterlife shape the grand tombs and sinuous temples of Luxor and the colorful hieroglyphs in the valley of the Kings and Queens.

As we venture through the land of the pharaohs we are escorted by brilliant private Egyptologist guides who help us grasp the vastness of what is before us, Ancient Egypt.

Enjoy luxurious accommodations in 5-star hotels.
