Greetings Fellow He Travelers,
My Uncle Alvin died a few weeks ago.
He was my dad’s eldest brother and was married to my mom’s sister Doris. I was thousands of miles away, but I realized I needed to be there for my aunt. I also knew that several people from both sides of my extended family would be at the funeral. People I haven’t seen in over 20 years.
I found myself

Because this was a new tour, I arrived a couple of days early in order to adjust as well as prepare for any last

Testimonials
“Our Iceland trip was great. What a unique and fascinating place to visit—from the glaciers and the tectonic plates, to the waterfalls, geysers, and lava tubes. Great guides and a great group of guys.”
“Our trip to Machu Picchu was the best adventure that we have experienced. The knowledge of the staff and accommodations were A-1. They made our 20th anniversary trip a memorable one.”
“This trip was incredible. I put my fear aside and allowed myself to play and be a kid jumping, running, diving, and exploring with such enthusiasm. I feel renewed.”
“The location was amazing. It’s hard to choose what I loved most about this destination, the food, the locals, the diving, hotel was amazing and friendly staff. Our hosts were most accommodating and every F&B place that we attended served an amazing dinner, the trip should be called Dine and Dive. If you’re looking for amazing views, diving and want to feel like a local, Saba is your place! I cant wait to return.”
“Seeing the Taj Mahal and the Mt Everest flight were on my ‘bucket’ list. It was my 16th (I think…) trip with HE travel and my 6th with Andrew as guide. Y’all must be doing something right… :=) Now if my bank account could have some time to catch up! The Kathmandu pre-trip was very good and the Everest flight was a dream come true.”
“The tour was a wonderful mixture of upscale lodgings and views of authentic life in each country.”
