Everyone should see a major fireworks display every few years. They are impressive.

The Joy of Family Tours
We at Zephyr have long known our Family Adventures are magical. Yes, we think all our trips are great – and they should be when you get a group of travelers to bicycle together in Italy or hike the Inca Trail in Peru. But somehow the kids on our family tours innately produce a level Continue Reading →
Advantages of Taking a Family Tour
We ran our first Family Adventure back in 2005. Although I am Zephyr’s owner and a longtime tour guide, I took part as a tour participant since I was chaperoning my niece and nephew. Fast forward 13 years and we are still running Family Adventures (including a Colorado Family Adventure in 2019.) This past July, we again Continue Reading →
Family Vacations for All Types of Families
The reality is, many of us still presume “family” equates to the standard nuclear definition: mom, dad, and two kids.

Father-Son Travel Duo:The Mighty Pribyl Boys
One of the best parts of our job at Zephyr Adventures is getting the opportunity to meet such wonderful and interesting people. We love hearing about where people are from, the places they’ve traveled, and the experiences they’ve had. With Father’s Day approaching, we thought we would highlight a great Father/Son pair – Gerald and Continue Reading →
Yellowstone in the Winter – Big Animals in Big Sky Country
Zephyr Adventures completed a 4-night, 5-day cross-country ski and snowshoe tour in Montana and Yellowstone National Park in February. Sub-zero temperatures and tromping through the woods may not be some peoples’ idea of a good time but the rich, inviting beauty of seeing Big Sky country in all its glory and with just a fraction of the Continue Reading →
Season's Greetings, Kiwi Style
The month of December is celebrated in many different ways, shapes, and forms around this big world. Prime rib roast feasts, Hallmark Channel reruns, and flocked Christmas trees are typical in the United States in December. But what about the other countries out there whose holiday traditions can vary greatly compared to our own? Continue Reading →
Still Rolling After 15 Years
Today is April 4, 2012. Fifteen years ago today, Allan Wright quit his corporate job with food company Cargill, and Zephyr Adventures (formerly called Zephyr Inline Skate Tours) was born. “Rolling” is a great metaphor to describe Zephyr’s journey, as we have certainly done our share of rolling with the punches in the past 15 Continue Reading →
