About Penguin Travel

Penguin Travel was established in 1989 in Copenhagen. With over 25 years of experience in handling active holidays, Penguin Travel has become a leading provider in the fields of hiking, cycling, horse riding and bird-watching tours as well as round-trips to less visited but still very exciting destinations in the Middle East, Central and South East Asia, South America etc. We can help you with designing group or individual tours along the famous Transsiberian Railway.  No doubt Bulgaria is our primary destination and a large part of our stuff is based here. Being experts on Bulgaria we are able to offer you any type of holiday here - from an active adventure in the mountains to a relaxing time at the seaside. Our guides are young and enthusiastic, eager to reveal you the best of your trip. Big part of our tours are led by people, who have personally taken care of your reservation since its receiving. Our hiking and cycling guides have detailed knowledge of the trips themselves and the conditions that may occur along the route, keeping you safe and well informed all the time. There are no secrets for them either up in the mountains or deep in the gorges as you can be sure - they have experienced the tour many times before. For the birdwatching tours we use highly experienced graduates (MSc-s and Doctors of Science), specialized in field ornithology. As a part of their activity they are leaders or experts in different projects for investigation of birds – their distribution, migration, biology etc. Thus they are perfectly prepared for identifying birds visually or by voice, which is of great importance for species with more hidden way of life and behavior. 

Highlights

Since its foundation Penguin Travel has been guided by its restless exploration drive, which is why the main focus of the company has always been on remote and unexplored destinations. We believe that the encounters with distant and completely different cultures and landscapes, have an extraordinary enriching influence on every traveler, which is why our main goal is to offer our clients exciting and unforgettable experiences.
