ABOUT US
How it all began
The idea of creating a travel community under the New Way Travel brand appeared in 2014. Then we were faced with the problem that our friends do not always have the opportunity and desire to travel when and where we want, and discovering the world ourselves seemed somehow boring and expensive. So, as we drove around Scotland, we finally formed a mission – to gather people who are in love with travel and unite them into one travel community. A kind of a club of interest, where you could communicate and share their experiences in different areas. After all, travel brings together completely different people and by communicating with them, perhaps you can highlight something for your business, and perhaps find new partners.
Over the years, we have evolved from organizing standard weekend ski-tours in the Carpathians to large-scale expeditions across Central and South America of a month’s duration. And our itinerary map today includes such exotic destinations as Antarctica, Patagonia, Greenland, Somalia, and many others. But one event changed us forever. Traveling in motorhomes through Iceland opened up a whole new format for us, and Iceland has so much in love with us that we’ve shown it to over 1,000 people since then! We continue to develop in this direction – we launch new formats, routes and immerse ourselves in its culture and history. Without exaggeration, in 7 years we have become experts on Iceland, and the reviews only confirm it.
The last three years have not been easy – the war in Ukraine and COVID severely undermined the travel industry. But we have not suspended our activities, and even more – not only perform the rescheduled tours, but also set ourselves new targets! And the main one is to enter the English-speaking and Polish markets, in order to make our hangout more and more international. Also, we plan to add more destinations in Africa and launch regular tours to Antarctica.
Specifics of New Way Travel tours
Our main destinations are Iceland and Scandinavia, Central and South America.
Travel format: expeditions aimed at getting as close as possible to the unique natural sites and get acquainted with the local culture.
Tricks: Travelling in motor homes in Iceland, Norway and Canada. Small and mobile groups of 12-16 people.
A unique experience: for us, the most important thing in travel is to keep the intrigue alive. In our programs you will definitely see all the complex and demanding activities, but at the same time, we will leave a secret of some locations that will definitely surprise you!
Lodging: as a rule, we stay in hotels 3* and up, two people each with facilities. Also, we like to book different eco-hotels or boutique hotels if they have aesthetic value. There may be lodges and hostels on the difficult routes.
Transportation: on most of our tours we travel in the comfort of private vehicles. Most often, it is a rental car. We almost never use public intercity transport so that we have the freedom to move when we travel. On some of our tours we use prepared jeeps, motor homes and snowmobiles.
