About Us

About Us

Picture
The concept of our happy and unique travel company was born many years ago...  

It began with a dream of a widower for her two boys.  Charlene Elston believed that education, conceptual development, and personal growth is often best achieved through travel because it exposes the traveler to so many different and beneficial influences that challenge every discipline of the mind and body.  Consequently, she did everything she could to constantly expose her two children to the world as they grew up.  It didn't matter how old or young, near or far, foreign or domestic - it was important to just GET THERE and EXPERIENCE it in all of its glory!  It turns out, she was right!  As her children grew up with a variety of experiences that turned and shaped them for the better, it became a very well known fact of the family that travel was one of the keys to success in life and the greatest gift you can give to another.  In her final years, she dreamed of a company that could one day give to others the gifts of knowledge and experience of traveling across the lands and seas and offering the wonders of our world to the traveler who otherwise might not know.  Although she was there when it was first founded, sadly, Charlene passed away before the company she dreamed of fully took shape, but her son who also shared this dream with her, continued on.  And in the years after her death, this company, which became known as Elston Expeditions, began to rise to meet the goals and dreams that she so strongly supported.  Our mantra, "We make your travel dreams come true" isn't just a sales pitch, it is the very core of what Elston Expeditions truly believes is so critically  important to everyone everywhere because it is how our world can continue to improve and become better.  We believe that an informed individual, an educated child, an experienced adult - all armed with knowledge and experience that can only be achieved through the perspective that travel brings, is what makes the human experience worthwhile.  To know what what's out there...  To know where we have been and what we have done...  To understand and have a connection to the planet, people, and life sciences that bring a truer meaning to why we are here  - all this through the ability of achieving our travel dreams - helps us to understand how we are to proceed further into the future.  Elston Expeditions is... as Charlene's husband once said, "Our individual responsibility to in some way, move mankind just one step further".  That is our goal and making travel dreams come true is our belief that this is the way to get there.

Elston Expeditions is not a travel agency that is out to find the cheapest price for travel and destination experiences.  It is focused on bring a better quality of experience.  We want to make sure that you have the opportunity to squeeze out every drop of fun, experience, knowledge, and adventure that is possible, wherever you are.  We want your adventures with us to be life-changing, mind-expanding, and the substance that will be talked about for a lifetime or better.  We work very hard to make sure that your desires and wishes for that incredible travel journey are met with great attention to detail, incredible service, and most of all, that we earn your trust.  After all, when you become one of our clients, you are part of the family.  You are part of the dream that was started long ago by that widower and her children to make our world a better place for all who seek it.
