Walking vs hiking vs trekking

Walking

Our walking trips will take you on defined tracks and over smooth surfaces – think the grasslands of northern Thailand, rice paddies in Mai Chau, and New Zealand's idyllic Queen Charlotte Track. There’s no need for fitness preparation or specialized equipment; just you, your comfortable walking shoes, and a healthy sense of adventure. And we promise there’s not a base camp in sight.

Hiking

Make your way up magnificent mountains, through concentrated bushland, and across rugged, countryside trails on our range of leader-led hiking trips. Harder and longer than a walk but less physically demanding than a trek, hikes are the perfect in-between for those who still want to thoroughly explore the great outdoors without all the fuss of proper equipment.

Trekking

Treks are often in remote destinations where the trails are barely visible, and the terrain makes it harder to traverse without specialized equipment. These treks range from tackling Kilimanjaro to testing your limits at Everest Base Camp and generally feature high altitudes and overnight stops with basic accommodation. Yep, say goodbye to showers and hello to unforgettable memories.

Mount Toubkal Long Weekend Trek

Gavin · Traveled September 2024
Amazing experience 5 stars! I can’t recommend the Mount Toubkal long weekend trip enough. Especially with Omar our leader you made it so incredible. Also thank you to Mohamed who helped us as well. Ps. A good standard of fitness is required. The fitter you are the more you will enjoy this, but it is very achievable to many people!
