Trip moments

Niki
Hi, I’m Niki
Every trip starts with me, personally.
SXT Adventures started because I wanted to travel with friends instead of strangers. Today I still hand-pick every itinerary, vet every operator, and lead as many departures as I can in person. The trips I’m not on, I’ve scouted myself. When you reach out, you get a real person who knows the trip, often me.
Small groups, honest answers, and the kind of pre-trip detail you didn’t know to ask for. That’s the whole thing.

What our travelers say
Real reviews from real trips, repeat travelers, first-timers, and everyone in between.
“I recently returned home from my second international trip with SXT Adventures. It was wonderful! and I was not ready to come home to say the least!!! I felt supported and taken care of the entire time. Niki has superb attention to detail and is very in-tune with the needs and desires of the group. She took care of everything you can think of from the planning side as well as flight check in and outside activities and dinners. I highly recommend you book a trip with SXT Adventures stat!”

“Just did a live aboard on the Aqua Cat in the Bahamas. This was truly the best vacation I have ever been on. Great people, food and the diving was epic. Thank you Niki and Scuba X Travel. This is the only way to travel and have amazing experiences. Excited to travel the world with you.”

Tracy S.

“Just did a trip with Rusty and Niki and could not ask for a better experience. The trip was awesome and the service was top notch. Niki covers every detail and then some, making sure no stone is left unturned. If you want service you have only dreamed about to this point, use SXT and your dreams will be a reality!! It was an incredibly easy and stress free experience and I will absolutely use them in the future for my travel needs. Thank you Niki for a phenomenal trip.”
