Our Story

Pinnacle Explorations began with a simple dream: to share the wonders of the world with fellow travelers. Founded in 2010 by Amelia Stone in the heart of Denver, Colorado, the company was built on a deep-seated passion for exploration and a desire to create meaningful travel experiences. Amelia, a seasoned adventurer herself, envisioned a travel agency that went beyond the typical tourist traps, focusing on immersive cultural encounters and breathtaking natural landscapes.

Initially, Pinnacle Explorations started small, offering curated tours to the Rocky Mountains and the American Southwest. Amelia's personal touch and dedication to customer satisfaction quickly gained the company a loyal following. As word spread, the demand for unique and personalized travel experiences grew, prompting Pinnacle Explorations to expand its horizons. Over the years, we've extended our reach to encompass destinations around the globe, from the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu to the vibrant streets of Tokyo.

Today, Pinnacle Explorations stands as a leading provider of luxury travel and adventure tours, committed to delivering exceptional service and creating unforgettable memories for our clients. We pride ourselves on our team of experienced travel professionals, our dedication to responsible tourism practices, and our unwavering commitment to providing personalized itineraries that cater to each traveler's individual needs and desires.
