About Explorabout
Female Founded, Locally Inspired
If life is a highway, then Explorabout connects you to the road less traveled– a better way to experience life.
My road took a detour when I was tasked with converting my parents’ NC custom built home into a vacation rental property. I frequently traveled from my day job in Connecticut to the NC mountain cabin. While researching local activities for our guests, I realized how hard it was to find unique activities in lesser-known areas. I dove deep to find secret places–hikes that led to cascading waterfalls–or, a horseback riding excursion and afternoon of apple picking. The Blue Ridge Mountains offer a treasure trove of hands-on crafting, ideal fishing spots, and picturesque trails.
This one life detour, led me on an adventure—one I wanted to share. I founded Explorabout in 2018 to be different by design. We’re all looking to live deeply, to experience all the hidden gems this country has to offer. How do you find those experiences? Explorabout links you to quiet harbors filled with salty sea air, dappled sunlight, and a hearty portion of seafood chowder. From sled-dog rides in Alaska with the Northern Lights as a backdrop to a 6-hour cruise in Sarasota enveloped in the Florida sunshine with soaring seabirds, Explorabout takes you there. Our focus is to provide all guests, of all ages and fitness levels, a way to discover unique local experiences whether near home or on vacation. Exploring is what life's all about... choose your adventure by destination or theme - classes & workshops, boating, heritage, food related, on the ground, wildlife, and more.
“Discover local adventures, whether on vacation or close to home. The better the experience, the bigger the memory... Go Explorabout!”
