Aleksei Sukhoverkhov

If you're looking for sailing trips, expeditions, outdoor adventures, and truly unique travel experiences, you're in the right place. Alternatour helps you discover journeys created by passionate skippers, guides, and local experts who know the world far beyond standard tourist routes. It’s a place where people who seek real adventure connect directly with those who create it.

I'm Aleksei Sukhoverkhov—a software developer, journalist, and sailing skipper. For years I've been working remotely while traveling across countries and seas, building a life around movement, freedom, and exploration. Along the way, I’ve met many incredible people designing unforgettable experiences, often hidden from the wider audience they deserve.

Again and again, I noticed the same gap: authentic adventures are scattered, hard to find, and rarely presented in one place, while their creators struggle to reach the right travelers. Great sailing routes, trekking expeditions, and local journeys exist everywhere—but they are fragmented and invisible to most people searching for them.

Alternatour was created to change that. My vision is a trusted community where meaningful travel experiences are easy to discover, and where organizers and travelers meet naturally. A place where exploration feels personal again, and every journey starts with something real, not algorithm-driven noise. Welcome aboard.

Built For Adventurers

Alternatours was created by people who sail, hike, camp, and explore the world themselves. We built the platform we always wanted to use—bringing adventurous travelers and outdoor professionals together. A place where extraordinary experiences are easier to discover, book, and enjoy.

Built on Real Experience Years of sailing, camping, and exploring shaped every part of Alternatours. Every feature reflects firsthand experience, making it easier to find, offer, and book authentic outdoor experiences.
Connecting the Right People Travelers discover authentic experiences directly from guides, skippers, instructors, and local operators. Outdoor professionals connect with people who are already looking for exactly what they offer.
An Alternative to Ordinary Travel The most memorable journeys rarely follow the usual route. That's why Alternatours is dedicated exclusively to outdoor adventures—making unique experiences easier to discover, offer, and join while bringing like-minded people together.
