What to Expect from an Active Adventure Holiday

Want to see a destination differently? Our adventure holidays are group tours designed to get you closer to the places you visit. You’ll see the must-see sights, but you’ll also get active, spend time with local people and discover the culture, food and landscapes that make each destination different.

With expert local guides and the practical details taken care of, you can focus on getting involved and making the most of your time away.

Discover the Best Adventure Holiday Destinations

There’s a big world out there, and plenty of ways to see it. Our adventure holidays take you across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Middle East and Africa, with destinations including Romania, Vietnam and Peru.

How you get around is part of the adventure too. Depending on where you travel, you could find yourself travelling by boat, overnight train, bicycle, tuk-tuk or 4x4 along the way.

Get Involved with Adventure Activities

Adventure means different things in different places. You could trek between forts in India, cycle through the Vietnamese countryside or go white-water rafting in Sri Lanka.

Activities are built into our itineraries, giving you plenty of opportunities to get active and experience your destination in a different way. Depending on your trip, there may also be optional excursions you can add before you travel.

Stay Somewhere Different

Where you stay can be part of discovering a destination too. Alongside hotels, some of our trips include accommodation that reflects where you’re travelling and gives you a different perspective on local life.

That could mean spending the night aboard a traditional boat in Vietnam or staying in a desert camp in Morocco. Wherever you stay, it can become part of the adventure itself.

Spend Time with Local People

The people who live somewhere are often the best people to show you what makes it special. Our trips include opportunities to spend time with local communities and learn about traditions, food and everyday life.

Watch a Bollywood film at Jaipur’s Raj Mandir cinema, share a meal with a local family or spend a night at a desert camp on our Morocco adventure holiday. It’s a chance to learn about a destination through the people who know it best.

Try Local Food and Traditions

Travel is a good excuse to try something you might not do at home. Food is a great place to start, with opportunities to learn how local dishes are made in destinations including Peru, Morocco and Sri Lanka.

Depending on where you travel, you could pick up other skills along the way too, whether that’s learning about traditional dress in India, navigating a local market or trying your hand at tango in Argentina.

See It All with a Local Expert Guide

Our local guides know their destinations. They’ll share the history and stories behind the places you visit, offer useful tips and give you recommendations along the way.

Having someone with local knowledge by your side means you can spend less time working out the logistics and more time getting to know your destination.

Group Travel - Share the Adventure

Group travel means having other people to share the adventure with, whether you’re travelling with someone or joining on your own. You’ll discover new places, get involved in activities together and still have opportunities for free time along the way.

Travelling solo? Many of our tours offer a twin-share option, where you can share a room with another solo traveller of the same gender and avoid paying a single supplement.
