Creating extraordinary travel experiences since 2005
Sunlit Marsh was founded in 2005 by a team of passionate travelers who believed that extraordinary destinations deserved equally extraordinary travel experiences. What began as a small boutique agency has grown into a respected international tour operator while maintaining our core commitment to personalized service and authentic travel experiences.
We've spent nearly two decades cultivating relationships with local partners worldwide, developing unique itineraries that balance must-see highlights with off-the-beaten-path discoveries, and assembling a team of specialists who are as passionate about travel as our clients.
Today, Sunlit Marsh proudly serves thousands of travelers annually with custom and small-group tours across six continents. Our award-winning service has earned us recognition from leading travel publications and, most importantly, the loyalty of clients who return for their second, fifth, or even tenth journey with us.
We're committed to exceptional quality in every aspect of our service, from the first inquiry to post-trip follow-up.
We design experiences that connect travelers with genuine local cultures, moving beyond tourist facades to create meaningful connections.
We prioritize environmentally and socially responsible practices, supporting local communities and minimizing our ecological footprint.
We recognize that each traveler is unique, crafting customized experiences that reflect individual interests, preferences, and travel styles.
Our diverse team combines decades of travel industry experience with specialized regional expertise and a shared passion for exploration.
