Don't let the name fool you; WAT/Womens Adventure Travels®️LLC does much more than all-women's travel!
Several people liked the all-women trips planned by WAT and inquired if we could do the same for them, their families, and their friends. And so, a Custom Travel division was born here at WAT! It has bene booming ever since.
Anything you see here on the site, we can replicate an exact trip for you or do something similar to your liking and for those traveling with you.
Additionally, we have extended with an additional brand, Lofty Traveler®️, where WAT's Adventuress in Chief, Karen Loftus, works as a Luxury Travel & Adventure Advisor, a part of the Virtuoso network.
Lofty Traveler®️ is an affiliate of Cloud 10 Travel, powered by Cadence Travel, a Virtuoso®️ agency/IATA: 05515171.
In whatever umbrella Karen works under, WAT or Lofty, the approach is the same. She can custom design travel for multigenerational families and friends for recreational travel, reunions, and events.
The best first step is to fill out the Contact Form below. Let us know a bit about what you are after, how many people are traveling, when and where, or simply the type of travel you are interested in, the timing, and an estimated budget for the trip. From there, we'll hop on a call on and start planning!
Family Travel
To our surprise, we initially garnered much interest under the family travel umbrella. It was due to the many women who came to our site, took a look, and asked if we could plan similar and different trips for them and their families. As a result, we have designed countless family trips in many configurations.
Karen takes pride in that she is very good at drilling down into each family member, what they are after, and what they want to avoid to make the trip work seamlessly for everyone.
She has designed many dream trips given to grads, be it high school or college, the last big family trip before an adult child moves away, or perhaps a great getaway to celebrate mom's big day or gather the kids over the winter or spring breaks.
Whatever the occasion, we would love to play a part in the planning so you can focus on the fun. I'd love ot hop on a call to discuss this further.
Reunions
Reunions are a fantastic reason to get up, get out and travel to other parts of the country or globe. Whether it is a high school or college reunion and you need to make plans to head back to town, or if you are creating a reunion with your best gals, your hiking, biking, or skiing crew, gathering and celebrating connections, be it friends, families or colleagues is now big on everyone's annual to-do list.
So, let us know if there is a reunion you'd like to attend or one you'd like to create, be it with family, friends, ex-colleagues, employees, or great neighbors from back in the day, as we can make that happen for you and your crew.

MULTI-GENERATIONAL FAMILY TRIP
“A huge thank you to Karen and her team for delivering exceptional service and an impeccable travel planning experience. Our family enjoyed a stress-free vacation in Aruba, all thanks to Karen's meticulous research and dedication to detail. She curated the perfect all-inclusive accommodations suitable for four adults and an 8-month-old baby, ensuring a family-friendly environment throughout our stay.The resort exceeded our expectations with its proximity to the beach, pool, and restaurants, all of which were conveniently located near our accommodation. The culinary experience was outstanding, offering fantastic food that delighted us all, making our trip truly unforgettable. Karen's efforts made this vacation possible, and we are immensely grateful for her expertise and hard work. Thank you for making our time in Aruba so memorable!"

ARUBA
"Getting to each planned location with Lofty and knowing that the entire trip was taken care of in advance is always our favorite part! From flights, to housing, to restaurants, to fun outings, and "must-see" spots! Lofty even gives options for adventures, "if you have time for more" on your vacation. Thank you for your flexibility and ease in scheduling in-person meetings to plan the trip. Providing you with all our likes (and dislikes), the vibes we're looking for on vacation, and you giving us all of the different options and various price points on everything is dreamy! We've planned four trips with Lofty, and we're already looking forward to our next one!"
-Jennifer West
COSTA RICA
“Karen nailed it. She paid attention to every detail. The flow couldn’t have fit our family better.
Each accommodation was perfect for where we were on the trip and suited our family very well.
She recommended where we stayed and how many rooms to reserve and provided options for the room layout.
She booked our flights, rooms, and rental car and recommended “must-see” vacation spots.
Because of Karen’s diligence and knowledge of what to do, our experience was easy. (For example, we had no idea we would need a national park pass to enter Yosemite AND reserve time at Yosemite seven days before we intended to be there. We entered the park with ease.)
Karen is knowledgeable, conscientious, and detail-oriented, and she understands that to have a successful vacation, planning is a must.
She takes the pressure off so that you can enjoy the time you have with your family."

"I literally started to cry when we walked into our room in Sorrento. You told me this trip would be life-changing. You are correct. My heart has exploded. I am certain you bring much joy to all of your clientele. I can feel your passion for your company and what you do for others.
We walked into our (upgraded) room to a bottle of wine and your beautiful card. Thank you for your lovely details and showering us with love.
You're just wonderful; you make sure every little detail is perfect. We are truly blessed to have found you.
Thank you, Karen, for giving me the courage to step out of my comfort zone. I have no words - THIS IS LIFE CHANGING!"

“A huge thank you to Karen Loftus and Women Adventure Travels! Our family vacation to France and Italy was seamless and packed full of great adventures.
After extensive research on Karen’s end, we met, and she presented pages upon pages of information with options of places to see, the best time to see them, and the history of each location we were visiting.
She is incredible!
We highly recommend Karen and Women Adventure Travels; it was a wonderful experience, and her depth and breadth of knowledge seem limitless!”

“We needed one more day in every place we visited in Italy! Some highlights of our trip... cooking class in Florence, horseback riding in the vineyards of Tuscany, swimming in the grottos of Capri, boating around the Amalfi coast.
We loved the culture, the people, the wine, and the food. We cannot thank Karen Loftus enough for organizing our trip and dreaming up all the special extras to celebrate Cal's graduation. Amazing!”
