“.. each trip Black Tomato creates has an experiential edge that promises to cultivate a deeper connection with the destination you visit.”

Black Tomato is on a mission to create remarkable experiences that thoughtfully connect our clients to the world and inspire them to explore it with curiosity, humility and a sense of wonder. The company was founded in 2005 by a trio of friends who wanted to sweep aside the prevailing current of 'package' trips and same-same vacations. Since then, we've become award-winning curators of tailor-made travel experiences – all crafted with inspirational engineering and an incomparable attention to detail. For us, the most important thing has always been: how do you want to feel? The rest is in the detail.

We curate trips for travellers who want to see the world up close – foregoing ‘tick lists’ and tourist traps in favour of deeper and more intimate connections with the world and its cultures. Today, we take people to all seven continents, designing all of our trips from the ground up. This way, no two journeys are ever quite alike. Trekking with the tribes of Borneo; learning the trade of tanning in Morocco; joining the jostling crowds of Sienna’s palio. It’s a wide, wild world. And we want our clients’ travels to be the same.
