Choose your zone, settle in, and have fun.

How it works
We are not your average travel agency, because you are not the average traveler.
We believe in shaping your experience together- with you.
Planning
Working with us means that you’ll have a private webpage to see your vacation take shape. We will take your ideas and wish lists and find the right experiences to fit for you. We can work the itinerary until it meets with your expectations and timelines.
Preparation
As you get closer to your travel date, the private webpage is updated with videos of the places you’ll go, local weather reports, packing guides, interactive maps and even your electronic documents (when available).
Departure Kit
Just before you leave, you’ll receive your departure kit with a hard copy of your itinerary as well as printed copies of your tickets/vouchers/passes. If you’d like, we can even lend you maps and travel books from our own Zone Travel Library*.
*the library consists of travel books that other travelers, like yourself, have used and made their own notes of where to go, what to see (and skip) and where to eat. We encourage you to add to the notes!
Traveling
Your webpage is active, you have your hard copy itinerary and documents- and if you need anything else, we are just a call, text or email away.. even if it’s 3am back home.
Pricing
With the exception of our preset vacation packages, you name the price- not us.
We’ll work with you to make your trip a marvelous combination of the vision you already have for your time away, and the budget that you’re working within.
Our Mission
Hello, My name is Christian Tamte.
I've been in the travel industry for nearly 20 years and I want to change the way we travel.
Zone Travel was created in 2015. I wanted to start focusing on ways that we can enjoy our vacations and also help the communities we visit.
While some may prefer to spend an entire vacation giving back, I realized that with our busy work schedules and family lives and holidays... we just don't have the time to devote to the needs of others in this way!
I hated having to choose between a relaxing, fun filled vacation, and helping the communities and people that made my time at those locations even possible.
So, we are merging the two concepts!
When possible, we choose to work with properties and tour vendors that give back to the local communities so that you can do good where you go, just by traveling with us!
You can choose to do more than just travel with us to these locations by donating, learning about the cause and/or even participate in a volunteer activity during one of your vacation days! (Not to worry, it's probably something you'd like to do anyway! Like snorkeling with dolphins or feeding elephants.)
We know it's your vacation, so this is always optional, never mandatory!
We aren't alone in this quest, as we grow, we are partnering with some other pretty amazing vendors that have a similar focus!
Together, we can all Connect, Help and Love the world we're in.
CONNECT
Vacations are fun!
Connect... with yourself, your friends and family, the location you travel to and the people and culture around you.
HELP
We believe in helping organizations that help keep our world alive and growing.
Travelers are encouraged to give a monetary donation to our partner organizations around the world.
You can either choose to donate with your package at checkout, or you can click on the “Donate” button for a list of our partner organizations both domestic and abroad.
LOVE
Most Zone Travel packages will have a volunteer activity aimed at giving back to the earth or animals where you are visiting.
