The Tortuga Story

Our Story

Tortuga is not a backpack company. Tortuga is a travel company. Tortuga is a lifestyle company.

Tortuga is travel as a lifestyle.

Tortuga is expanding your horizons. Tortuga is coming out of your shell. Tortuga is getting out your comfort zone.

Tortuga knows that even when you travel for pleasure there is still a lot of pain.

Tortuga is products that take the pain out of travel.

Airbnb and Tortuga are soulmates. They get each other. They never have to guess what the other is thinking.

Airbnb and Tortuga are two people of one mind. Yin and yang. They go hand-in-hand.

But Airbnb and Tortuga are not one and the same. They complement each other.

Airbnb is for when you've arrived. Tortuga is for everything in between.

Everywhere you find Airbnb you find Tortuga. They are inseparable. Where one goes, the other follows.

When guests book a room on Airbnb they receive a welcome message from the host with a link to purchase Tortuga products. Just enter the Airbnb confirmation code for 10% off.

When guests arrive at their Airbnb they are pleasantly surprised the host has provided a Tortuga daypack for use during their stay.

When travelers close the Airbnb app, they open the Tortuga app.

From packing to transportation to communication, the Tortuga app presents a curated list of apps, websites, and product recommendations that take the pain out of travel.

The Tortuga app is the embodiment of "word to the wise."

Tortuga is your travel companion. Tortuga has been there and done that. Tortuga shares his lessons so you don't have to learn them the hard way.

That's the Tortuga story. Now let me tell you how my story and the Tortuga story become our story.
