Cookson Adventures are pioneers in crafting the most creative travel experiences on the planet, counting some of the world’s most successful individuals amongst our clients.

 

Through extensive research and planning, our clients have discovered previously unknown Roman shipwrecks, found a new species of killer whale, rehomed giant tortoises by helicopter, and operated the first private submersible in Antarctica.

 

As a team, we are dynamic, driven and share a passion for meaningful travel with a focus on conservation, while uncovering the world's best-kept secrets for our clients' private adventures.

 

We have well-located offices in Holland Park, close to the leisure facilities of Westfield Shopping Centre and only a few minutes’ walk from the Central line and overground stations.
