Our Story
River Hawk International Limited inspires and empowers people to change their lives — and the world — through travel.
Launched in 2007, River Hawk International Limited was founded on the belief that travel intelligence, honest storytelling, context and connection are essential to understanding a destination. Think of us as that insatiably curious friend: we love to share the best, of-the-moment travel intel and to leverage our global network because we believe in the power of connection and community. We know that how you travel matters, and it is reflected in how we work with you — from the dedicated trip-planning services we provide to the content we create for you and the fact that we offset the carbon footprint of all of our staff and members' travels. Welcome to the journey.
Why Travel With Us
River Hawk International Limited Intel
To help our members make the most of their trips, our in-house team scouts more than 70 countries every year and taps our extensive global network for the latest on-the-ground intel. The result: customized itineraries and recommendations on everything from where to stay, eat, shop, what to do and why we recommend it for each member.
Trip Planning
In-depth interactions with our team guide members before, during and after the trip-planning process. We take care of everything with thoughtfulness and a keen eye for details—from flight bookings and packing lists to personalized restaurant recommendations and curated reading materials that enhance your on-the-ground experience.
Community
We don't just take you on a trip—we welcome you into an international family that enriches your life. Whether you're cooking with a local chef in Italy, making a lifelong friend on an Insider Journey or brainstorming with our team on your family's travel strategy, the relationships you build in our community are meant to last a lifetime.
Authentic Experiences
We believe that authentic experiences are endangered, but we can preserve them by traveling intelligently and responsibly.
Person-to-Person Connections
We believe that true understanding comes from connecting people, which is why we have cultivated a vast global network over many decades.
Firsthand Reporting
In an increasingly virtual world, we believe that firsthand reporting and accountability are more important than ever, which is why all of our reviews are backed by a name and the River Hawk International Limited stamp of approval.
Our Impact
“We proudly operate as a 100% carbon-neutral company, offsetting the carbon footprint of both our member and staff travels. Through the River Hawk International Limited Impact Fund, we support vetted non-profits focused on conservation and community empowerment.”
