History

Our founder, Ken Fish, established Absolute Travel in 1989. We were the first U.S.-based company to bring Americans to Vietnam and Cambodia, and this pioneering spirit has stayed with us over the decades as we've brought people to unexplored parts of the globe and innovated the luxury travel experience by making it completely personal. Ken's dedicated his life to creating unique, luxury trips for travelers who want to experience the staggering and diverse beauty of the world, and he's surrounded himself with people who want to share the power and joy of travel as much as he does. You simply won't find another company who knows the world as well, is as excited by it, or will help you uncover more inspiring experiences. Under Ken's leadership, Absolute Travel has grown into a multi-award-winning company that is pioneering luxury travel with a purpose. There is no travel company like it.
