WHAT IS ARKANUM ADVENTURES?

We create fun, international adventure travel opportunities that open young eyes and minds to the rich diversity and value of other cultures, while providing rewarding service experiences in every destination. An intense desire to create an enterprise that is bold in making real #connections between American youth and global cultures gave birth to Arkanum Adventures in Boston, Massachusetts. The idea that global travel awakens young people to the amazing diversity and value of cultures outside of their own is what drives us! We create international travel opportunities that open young eyes and minds while being totally daring and fun, and we offer these adventures to youth communities. This is the heartbeat of Arkanum Adventures.

WHY TRAVEL WITH US?

We design international travel adventures that lift young people and others out of preconceived notions in ways that encourage curiosity, independence, confidence, and determination. Our excursions create strong and enduring bonds of friendship, local and global, as an outcome of meaningful interaction and self-awareness. These bonds give birth to a new or renewed commitment to community. We believe that comfort zones tend to shut down personal growth. We also know that the need for adventure is very real, especially for youth! The international travel adventures that we design are major opportunities for young people to join others who are like-minded and break away from preconceived notions.
