The Y Factors

Our Y Factors are a revolutionary way to categorise travel according to travellers’ different portals of passion. They allow us to connect our clients with experiences that truly resonate with their wants, needs and dreams, ensuring the most custom-fit trip possible.

Let us help you uncover the world, with purpose.

From immersive expeditions imbued with culture, to thrilling adventures in nature and everything in between, we draw on our wealth of lived experience and the calibre of our Y Factors to provide unrivalled nuance and attention to detail.

  • Your Y

    Travel is a highly personal experience: everyone wants to see, taste, experience and feel different things. We help you discover the world according to your purpose and passion by curating trips that match your motivation. We weave what inspires and interests you into every journey you embark on.

    We design your travel plans according to what kindles your wanderlust, inspires you to seek new experiences, and how you want your adventures to make you feel.

  • Our Y

    Exploring is a defining part of our identity here at Y Travel. We are seasoned travellers with a depth of knowledge and lived experience, and we revel in the joy of transferring these skills to designing your travel plans.

    More than that though, Y Travel aspires to transform the industry and our lives. We are committed to protecting the places that have given us so many memories, and we are advocates for the only type of travel befitting our wonderous planet: slow travel.

  • Y Now

    The time to change the way we travel is now: the future of the planet and the future of travel are interchangeable. We believe we all urgently need to work together to mitigate the impact of climate change by travelling impactfully and intentionally. That’s why we focus on travel that is big on experience and small on impact; travel you can feel good about.
