Kosher Expeditions is a Jewish/kosher tour operator specializing in the development and implementation of Jewish/kosher travel programs & vacations world wide.  We develop these travel programs specifically for groups and organizations.  Specific destinations and dates of departure (listed in our yearly destination drop down menu on the main page) are available for individual participation.   In many cases once a group is formed (and with the permission of the group) we will open space up the general public for individual participation. 

Why kosher group travel with Kosher Expeditions?

Travel to remote, exotic, or third world destinations is often complex and frustrating, especially if one keeps kosher. Planning such a trip on your own can become a full-time job. By letting us take care of the details, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy. You will make new friends, learn from expert guides and teachers, experience new cultures and places in an in-depth and intimate manner, and enjoy delicious supervised kosher meals.

Journeys to satisfy every preference!

One travel program does not fit all, so Kosher Expeditions has developed a number of different touring categories.

Luxury Expeditions: Travel in ultimate comfort and ease. Tours are at a moderate pace with stays in first class hotels and resorts.

Adventure Expeditions: For those looking for a more active vacation, these programs usually include more outdoor activity focusing on wildlife observation in natural habitats. Most programs are not strenuous and are suitable for every age group. Lodging ranges from first class accommodations to local inns, lodges and outdoor camping.

Cruises: This includes large ocean liners as well as smaller riverboats. Here, Kosher Expeditions lets you experience a region through its waterways. Most programs include a combination of cruising and land extensions.

Passover: An activity-filled week of family, adventure and relaxation with both Ashkenazic and Sefardic dietary requirements at one location. KE is able to develop custom Passover programs for groups to almost any destination.

Educational Expeditions: The mission of kosher Expeditions academic tours is to enhance the lives of students of any age by extending educational and Jewish identity programming into the worldwide classroom and providing the best opportunity for learning through seeing, experiencing, and interacting.  (See our student and educational expeditions section for more details).

Senior Expeditions: Kosher Expeditions has developed a number of unique travel programs specifically oriented to the mature traveler.  Destinations and programs have been developed where our client can travel in comfort and at an appropriate pace.  Programs are educationally oriented with guided tour programs and nightly lecture series unique to their destinations.  Kosher food menus are kept flexible and can be modified to accommodate clients special dietary needs.

Superb Leadership

Our trip leaders are experts in their fields with years of experience. They are naturalists, big game rangers, river guides, cowboys, rabbis and scholars who are extremely knowledgeable about area history, customs, and language. Adventuring with seasoned, committed trip leaders who have an abiding love for their corner of the world makes for an unforgettable travel experience. Unique to Kosher Expeditions is a certified mashgiach on each tour to ensure the highest standards of kashrut.

Hand-crafted itineraries

Each of our trips has been crafted to capture the best of a particular destination. This means traveling at an appropriate pace, ensuring proper acclimation, choosing ideal lodging (especially for our Shabbat stay-overs), Shabbat with local Jewish communities when possible, or simply knowing places off-the-beaten-path which make for an exceptional journey.

Food / Kashrut

When you travel, food is an important part of your journey. Maintaining an observant lifestyle no longer means having to sacrifice exciting travel with good food. At Kosher Expeditions we believe that local food is an important component in experiencing your destination. Through constant site inspections at each destination we are able to obtain high quality Glatt standard local kosher food prepared fresh. When our high standards cannot be met at a particular destination we are able to ship in ingredients from Glatt standard kitchens worldwide and prepare it fresh on site at your destination.  Each tour is staffed with "certified masgichim" and our own head chefs to ensure the highest standard of supervision and cuisine.
