Austin-Lehman Adventures
One of the World's Best Tour Operators!
When searching for your next vacation, consider what makes an Austin-Lehman Adventure the one worth remembering!
Our 39 year legacy as an Adventure Travel Company speaks for itself
We've been sharing our love of adventure with our guests since 1974. Our longtime insider's knowledge and extensive contacts in each destination allow us to offer cultural and artistic experiences and encounters that give our guests an in-depth feel for the local people and their way of life.For an Adventure Travel Company - Smaller is Indeed Better
Dan and Carol Austin, the owners of Austin-Lehman Adventures, are intimately involved with our day-to-day operations, and always available for questions and comments. As a small company, we believe keeping things small is important. We never have more than 12 guests on our adult trips and 18 on our family adventures. This affords each traveler a much more intimate and authentic experience and our guest-to-guide ratio is never more than 6:1. We've also created special itineraries for our different adventures which cater to families, solo adventurers or adults-only. Looking to plan a custom trip? Our Custom Adventure Experts will happily help you plan every aspect of your custom trip with ALA.
Personalized Just For You
Our extraordinary guides will take the time to learn about each traveler in their group, finding unexpected and memorable ways to make your vacation extra special. On an Austin-Lehman adventure, you can choose your style of vacationing, from intense activity to kickbacked relaxation, or something in between. Most importantly, we know we still have things to learn. We listen and use our guest's feedback everyday to ensure we are meeting your expectations for an unforgettable adventure vacation.Authentic and Distinctive Lodging and Cuisine
Our trips are designed to deliver surprising luxury with an absence of pretension. We've done our research and know the best accommodations in each region to rest and recharge. Whether you dine in a five-star restaurant or are served campfire-side, you will enjoy the finest local cuisine and libations, artfully prepared and deliciously sinful. You are a VIP at Austin-Lehman and we will deliver on your high standards for luxury, quality and comfort.

Each one offers the highest degree of trust and confidence, comfort and safety. Our staff's operational logistics and contingency planning ensures you are well taken care of regardless of the circumstances.To back up our strong commitment to the highest levels of guest service, we offer all of our travelers up to a full money-back guarantee, a rarity among adventure travel companies.
