Our team at UTracks is passionate about adventure, travel and - of course - delivering exceptional service. And if there's one thing that binds us, it's both the personal and professional travel experience each of us bring to the company. Combined, we've travelled to virtually every corner of the world (many times) and bring a multidisciplined, multicultured and whole-hearted love of all things travel.
While based in Australia, UTracks has a global presence through World Expeditions, our worldwide agents. UTracks is a wholly owned division of World Expeditions who have offices in San Francisco in the US, Ottawa and Montreal in Canada, Auckland in New Zealand and London in the United Kingdom.
