Tours

Normally, when I say “travel with me,” it’s a digital invitation to follow my adventures online. But this time, I mean pack your bags—literally—and join me!

In 2018, I launched my first Ottsworld Tour in Ireland, mixing hiking, culture, and off-the-beaten-path gems. Now, I run small, unique, and active tours each year to exciting new destinations. I partner with hand-picked local tour companies to create custom itineraries that even surprise me!

I’ve never been one to follow the crowd, so Ottsworld Tours are all about discovery, uniqueness, and adventure. If you’re driven by curiosity and crave a different kind of travel, my tours are perfect for your next trip!

Benefits of an Ottsworld Tour

  • Outdoor adventure travel is my jam. My tours might nudge you to try something new, push your limits, or redefine what a vacation looks like. Growth happens when we push ourselves!
  • Forget the camera stress—I’ve got you covered! I’ll document the entire trip with photos and videos, giving you a Google Gallery of memories. Want to level up your photography? I’m happy to teach you along the way.
  • You’ll connect with like-minded travelers, many flying solo for the first time. I host every tour and even hold pre-trip meetings so you can prep and meet your group before the adventure begins!

Challenging yourself to be a little uncomfortable is okay and necessary. It will make you learn, grow and keep you moving forward.

One word that sums up this trip – Amazing!
It’s addictive to watch and chase the Aurora and see how beautiful it is. I enjoyed all the activities. Each outing was unique, with beautiful landscapes and opportunities to learn about new things.

Thank you for helping us capture amazing memories!
The only thing I knew before your class was the rule of thirds, and now I have a great foundation of knowledge to build upon—no more point-and-shoot! Instagram, watch out!

A bucket-list-checking good time!
The Aurora viewing, dog sledding, snowshoeing, moose viewing, curling, and glacier hiking all happen at a comfortable pace in breathtaking locations, mixed in with some of the best food and drink stops you can imagine.  Can’t say enough good things – go!”

Definitely met expectations!
Sherry and Ottsworld tours exposed me to things I’m sure I would not have considered if I was planning a trip.

An incredible way to experience Alaska
Sherry’s knowledge of unique places and amazing people made it all come together into an amazing week!!  It was all so magical, from seeing the aurora borealis to snowshoeing in the peaceful spruce and birch forests to hiking on a glacier and actually mushing dogs and dog sledding!!
