“Serving as an antidote to over-scheduled, time-poor stressors that pervade our busy lives, ‘See You in the Moment’ encourages being fully present with others; being mindful, which by design is innately therapeutic,” said Tom Marchant, co-founder of Black Tomato. The company draws on a deep understanding of travel psychology to create experiences intended to be transformative and enduring, from getting lost in Mongolia to self-development-focused programs.

The See You in the Moment portfolio features 30 curated travel “moments,” each of which can be woven into a longer itinerary. Examples include The Challenge, The Journey, The Event and The Celebration. The Meal moment, for instance, could place your group beneath the midnight sun on Norway’s Lofoten Islands, dining together on a private uninhabited isle while chefs and food artisans prepare a memorable menu. Other multiday moments revolve around outdoor activity and exquisite dining, blending adventure with finely crafted culinary experiences.
For those seeking a more strenuous shared experience, The Challenge sends travelers into the Peninsula Mitre at the southern tip of Argentina’s Andes to Tierra del Fuego. Participants bond through a sequence of physical tasks—hiking, horseback riding and overnighting in nomadic-style camps—while incorporating sailboat and helicopter transfers to reach remote areas.

“Ultimately,” Marchant added, “we believe these unforgettable shared moments foster a profound sense of belonging and togetherness. They help bond a group by becoming part of a shared narrative. While some moments suit couples, others are richer with a larger group—so that years later you can exchange a glance with a friend and instantly reconnect through the memories you created together.”
Black Tomato’s See You in the Moment expeditions are aimed at travelers who want well-designed, meaningful escapes that emphasize presence, connection and memorable activities. Whether you seek quiet, reflective time with loved ones, culinary exploration in remote places, or an active, challenge-driven adventure, these moments are crafted to create lasting memories without the hassles of planning and logistics.
