Active Tours

Active Tours

Hoping for a holiday that will have you unwinding from real life while still getting your blood pumping? We understand that not everyone wants to relax by the pool or explore city streets, which is why we’ve curated an epic range of active tour packages.  

Perfect for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts, our active tour packages can be tailored to almost any outdoor activity. Get your steps up and pack your snacks for hiking and trekking adventures, explore new terrains on two wheels with popular cycling and biking trips or spot animals on wildlife tracking safaris.  

Those keen to see sights from above can challenge themselves with rock climbing and mountaineering itineraries, while snow bunnies can get their fix with skiing and snowboarding trips. Prefer life under the sea? Dive beneath the surface with scuba diving and snorkelling holidays, or float above with kayaking and canoeing expeditions.  

Swap the treadmill and test your endurance on running and marathon tours (kudos to you), or do a unique combo of everything with multi-sport adventures. Then, finish it all off and treat your body to some r&r with fitness and wellness retreats. Whatever you fancy, chances are we’ve got the active tour for you. If not, we’ll work with tour operators and guides on the ground to create a custom itinerary that matches your travel style.
