About Us

Founded in 1980 by intrepid travelers C. Steen Hansen and Andy Alpine, Specialty Travel Index is the #1 source for adventure and special-interest vacations worldwide. Featuring tour and contact information for over 500 adventure tour operators around the globe, the directory offers details on everything from sculpting in Sicily to wildlife viewing in Antarctica.

The Magazine

Published bi-annually in glossy format, the magazine is comprised of 4-color and 2-color pages. Readers can use the Activity and Geographical Index in the front of the magazine to access tours relevant to their needs. The magazine features 11 exciting travel articles per issue. Recent stories have covered hot topics like citizen space travel, and women’s travel in Egypt. To subscribe to the magazine, select the “Subscribe Now” button of the sidebar.

The Web Site

Readers can also access tour information on our web site, specialtytravel.com. Viewers can access the information the same way as the magazine (through the indices), or can use the quick and easy search mechanism available on every page. For those who want to peruse the last several years of Specialty Travel Index travel articles, the "Travel Stories" section includes three years of unique travel pieces.

We thank you for joining us, and we wish you many happy and memorable travels in the future!
