Pasadena Travel was established in 1969, operating from a private residence in the Adelaide suburb of Pasadena. The business grew rapidly by word of mouth and started specialising in organised school trips and escorted holidays to New Zealand and later expanding the destinations to cover Europe, America and Asia. 

Pasadena Travel has continued to help people realise their dreams to travel to well known destinations as well as faraway exotic places such as Madagascar, Antarctica, the Amazon and to the top of the world, Mt Everest.

In 1986, Pasadena Travel became a member of the American Express Worldwide Network; to not only enhance their already high professional standards but also extending their contacts to over 1,700 travel offices in more than 130 countries worldwide.

Pasadena Travel has continued to earn the respect of airlines and operators within the industry.  One of the many reasons is the low turnover of staff. One staff member has been with the agency since 1984, another since 1990.  The staff now has over 103 years of combined knowledge and personal experience in the travel industry.

Always conscious of it's role in the community, Pasadena Travel has been proud to be associated with local sporting groups such as golf, football, cricket, rugby and bowling clubs.

Most recently, the agency opened a division specialising in the cruise market.  With the rapid demand in this popular form of travel, Pasadena Travel became one of the founding members of the Cruise Council of Australia.  Our staff have been fully trained and accredited by the Cruise Council each passing their accreditation with distinctions.

In addition to being a member of the American Express network Pasadena Travel is fully licensed, IATA accredited and is a member of Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA).
