We are a team of travel lovers and travel experts.
we are gravitate
Travel that revolves around you
At Gravitate Travel, we have two pleasures in life. The first is travel. Ask us about where we’ve been and we can talk for hours. Ask us where we want to go next and our eyes light up. Together, we have a combined 78 years in the industry and even more years seeing the world firsthand.
Equal to travelling the world ourselves is our second pleasure: designing unforgettable travel experiences for our clients. Over the years, we’ve built amazing relationships with travel partners in every corner of the globe, including hotels, resorts, cruise lines, tour providers, and airlines.
Where our personal travel expertise is combined with the next-level services of our partners – that’s where the magic happens. With options for every budget, we’ll not only show you how to make dreams come true (sometimes there’s an alternative for the kind of experience you want to have) and open your mind to exciting new experiences.
This passioned and deep knowledge is what keeps clients returning to see us trip after trip. We have the connections and advice to make your travel much more personalized than what you can find yourself just clicking around online. When you join the Gravitate community, we get to know your style as a traveller—so we can think about you, too, when a great idea or deal comes along.
