It presents true stories, both perilous and awe-inspiring from the full array of adventure travel: trekking, climbing, sailing, diving, adventure cruising, kayaking, back-country skiing, mountaineering, biking, cultural immersions, canyoneering, and more. Sobek pioneered scores of adventures, from trekking in the Himalayas, to cruising the Galapagos and Antarctica, to first descents of some 80 rivers around the world.

Its clients have included Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mick Jagger, Barry Diller and even a pre-op Caitlyn Jenner.
