How it all began

  • Dominik, founder of Join The Crew

    "Enjoying the freedom of the outdoors with friends has led on many crazy adventures! I've met amazing people on the road, giving me new perspectives, as well as friends for life. That's why I founded Join The Crew: it started in student accommodation in 2007, and now we offers Tours to the whole world."

  • The Purpose of Join The Crew

    It's in the name! We bring people together for an awesome time, enjoying the adventures of life in the great outdoors, helping you to grow and make memories for life. The first trip Dominik organised back in 2007 was for friends - no "guests", no "employees" - just one crew made up of everyone on board, all getting stuck in. Today, we still offer the same friendly, adventuring experience.

Our Values

  • Heart & Soul

    On each of our Tours, we want to bring open-minded adventurers together and give you a spectacular and unique week. With a little help from your Crew and JTC Guide, you'll make memories and friends for life. We do not offer mass-produced trips.

  • One Community

    We want everyone in the JTC family to feel welcome, comfortable and accepted. With an open spirit, we can learn something new from everyone we meet: members of your Crew, local guides who help us with particular activities - anyone! Be yourself, and be open for new experiences that will have a positive effect on your life.

  • Live sustainably

    Whether on land or at sea, sustainability is one of our core values, one that we try to showcase this on each one of our trips. We want to give back to the world as much as we can, leaving a positive footprint on our beautiful Earth. We plan the logistics of each Tour to minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible, and encourage you as Crew members to reduce plastic waste. Taking are of this gorgeous planet is the least we can for all that it gives us.
