About Me

A fresh catch at Brooks Falls, Katmai NP, Alaska
A fresh catch at Brooks Falls, Katmai NP, Alaska

Imagine standing on the deck of a sleek expedition cruise ship as it slices through the icy waters of Antarctica. The glaciers tower around you, and ice floes float by, with Antarctic seals and penguins playfully resting on them. The crisp air fills your lungs, and the breathtaking silence is punctuated only by the distant crack of icebergs. This is not just a vacation; it's an experience that transforms your view of the world.

Hello! My name is Hari Iyer. As an avid traveler with over 25 years of travel experience, I have not only visited some of the most exotic places on our beautiful planet but also honed my skills in planning seamless journeys, which have allowed me to experience the extraordinary in a uniquely personal way. I am now bringing that experience to help fellow travelers by crafting bespoke travel experiences that would take them off the beaten path and into the heart of the world's wonders. Whether you're interested in the icy vistas of Antarctica, the arctic wildlife around Svalbard, the rich tapestry of Asian culture, or the vibrant landscapes of Australia and New Zealand, my goal is to tailor a journey to your interests.

For those passionate about adventure, I offer expedition cruises that explore the remote corners of Antarctica, the Arctic, and Alaska. These journeys provide unparalleled access to glaciers, wildlife, and natural phenomena that few have the privilege to witness. They are designed for the curious and intrepid, offering not just sights but experiences that educate and inspire.

If you're captivated by Asia's cultural and historical richness, I specialize in bespoke travel and luxury tours that immerse you in this diverse continent. Whether you're fascinated by Japan’s ancient temples alongside its technological modernity, Thailand’s bustling markets, Bali’s breathtaking beauty, or Indian palaces’ regal splendor, my itineraries are crafted to weave you into the cultural fabric of each destination.

If you're an amateur photographer like me, there are safaris in Africa, wildlife preserves in India, and landscapes as varied as they are stunning in Australia and New Zealand. I can create a tailor-made experience for you, allowing you to explore and enjoy while savoring the comforts of luxury travel at your own pace.

I collaborate with some of the best in the industry, including National Geographic, Lindblad Expeditions, Tauck, HX, AmaWaterways, Project Expedition, and others. I leverage their expertise and exclusive partnerships to provide unparalleled access to accommodations, guides, and experiences that will transform your journey from ordinary to extraordinary.

In summary, my mission as your travel advisor would be to share my expertise and experiences in guiding you to the world's most exotic and enchanting destinations and crafting a journey that becomes a lifetime experience. If you're ready to explore the extraordinary and embark on a journey that speaks to your sense of adventure and curiosity, I invite you to reach out.

An amazing family holiday
Reviewed By Ganga - Chennai, India | Traveled to Galapagos Islands | Ecuador | South America
Ever since we started planning our holiday to the Galápagos Islands, we had Hari Iyer taking us through the process step by step. Answering all our questions over a video call, checking with lindblad and assuring us we had vegetarian food on board, helping our daughters arrange for scuba diving (many of our fellow passengers missed out on this), keeping us posted on last minute changes in the travel details .. and indeed the holiday aboard the lindblad expeditions and National Geographic endeavor II was an amazing and memorable trip ????
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Best trip ever ! Very well planned for us.
Reviewed By sowms2012 - Sydney | Traveled to Antarctica
The trip to Antarctica has been one of the best so far ! Hari planned the trip for us across different cities and time zones. His careful attention to detail and clear explanations on what to expect, what to pack, etc helped us through the prep process. Hari also made sure there’s no information over-load at any stage. He carefully planned his information feed, timelines and answered any questions we had before and during the trip with exceptionally quick turn around times. I strongly recommend reaching out to him if you are after finely curated travel plans with the best travel support you’ll ever need :)

Freedom of the Open Road: A Self-Drive Alaska Tour

Finally, Alaska happened! It has long been on my must-visit destination list. Photography is an essential part of my travels. Good photo opportunities don’t come along unless you have time and patience, and I couldn’t imagine being in Alaska and rushing through it without setting down the tripod, waiting for the ideal light conditions, or for a ...
