Made for travelers, by travelers.

Packing light means less physical and mental baggage. With the right gear, you’ll breeze through security on your way into the airport and walk right past baggage claim on your way out. You’ll never worry about your bag and never pay baggage fees.

We started Tortuga to make the bag we wanted to carry. Over a decade later, we’re still solving problems for our fellow travelers and for ourselves.

Tortuga is a small business. Our team of travelers works remotely and lives all over the world. We believe that sharing a mission is more important than sharing an office.

When you buy a Tortuga backpack, you help young people travel abroad, often for the first time. Your purchase supports youth travel by funding the Tortuga Study Abroad Scholarship and gap year grants in partnership with the Gap Year Association.
