Chaperoned Vacations For Individuals
Who Need Assistance Traveling

Our Trips for Disabled Adults

Special Journeys provides chaperoned vacations for individuals who need assistance traveling. Our goal is to provide fun, well-planned and reasonably priced vacations that are staffed with experienced volunteers and tour leaders. We are a local company exclusively serving those states where we can physically pickup and drop-off our travelers (Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota).

Our travelers are individuals with developmental or physical disabilities and other individuals with special travel needs. Most travelers are individuals with mild to moderate developmental disabilities. The Special Journeys Criteria for Travel can be viewed here. Overall, Travelers must exhibit good social behavior, have no major medical concerns that would interfere with traveling, be at least 19 years old and display appropriate behavior toward property, themselves and others.
