OUR STORY
Gray Duck Travel Club isn't just another travel group – we're a vibrant community ready to explore! We are fellow adventurers, storytellers, and culture enthusiasts based near the Twin Cities, Minnesota, but with eyes set on the world. Our journey began with a passion for creating a space where like-minded travelers could experience global destinations in a truly meaningful and connected way.
We believe the best travel involves shared discovery, genuine connections, and maybe a little bit of playful fun along the way. Our focus is on group tours that are expertly planned for smooth sailing adventures, allowing us to focus on what truly matters: exploring diverse cultures, fostering friendships, and making unforgettable memories.
At Gray Duck Travel Club, we also believe deeply that the joy and growth that come from travel should be accessible. We strive to foster an inclusive environment and are mindful of varying needs, aiming to support all our members, including those with disabilities or unique challenges, in experiencing the beauty and wonder our world has to offer, wherever possible. We believe that travel can be a powerful path to self-discovery and connection for everyone, often when we step beyond the familiar.
Whether you're looking for travel companions, eager to share your own travel stories, or simply want to explore the world with a warm and welcoming group, you've found your place in the pond. Join us for the next adventure!

What's in a Name?
You might be curious about our name, and it’s a story rooted right here in Minnesota with a personal touch! While many know the children's game as "Duck, Duck, Goose," here in Minnesota, it's uniquely "Duck, Duck, Gray Duck." This little bit of local charm speaks to our desire to offer travel experiences that are delightfully distinct and create that feeling of being part of something special – an "experience apart."​​
