Active Adventure tours in Europe

Adventure is in our genes

We’ve been running our active adventures for over a decade, which means we know the best local suppliers and experts on the ground to give you an exciting and safe experience.

Experienced Leaders

Don’t know what a carabiner is? No problems! Our experienced local leaders and adventure enthusiasts can help show you the ropes while also showing you the sights.

Safety First

Whether it’s an included activity or an optional extra, we conduct safety assessments on all our activities to meet local standards as well as our own comprehensive safety policy. 

Learn New Skills

Discovering a new destination also means unlocking new skills, like horse riding, canyoneering or mountain biking. Our Active Adventures are uniquely designed to teach you something new (and make you an enthusiast too.)

Local Matters

We have close relationships with the communities we visit and always use local adventure providers on each of our trips. By choosing to travel with us, you also empower local communities.

Responsible Travel

We’re not going to ramble through the jungle in a 4x4 vehicle and we won’t ask you to ride an elephant. That’s just not us. We make sure our itineraries are designed in an environmentally friendly way.

Hike in the pristine Pyrenees Mountains

For a tiny, landlocked country, Andorra offers a serious bounty of summer fun. Delve into the pristine Pyrenees Mountains and walk along a single track through forested slopes, where the scenery shifts from pine forest plants and rhododendrons in June, wild fruit in in midsummer, and mushrooms in September. Watch for thickset mountain horses grazing on the high slopes. Ascend to the Cabana Sorda Lake for lunch, which sits below an impressive amphitheatre; from there hardcore hikers can continue to the peak – sitting at around 2,600 metres – and be rewarded by bird’s eye views of the valley.

Raft world-class whitewater rapids in Catalonia

The town of Sort, in Spain, translates to ‘good luck’ in Catalan, but you won’t need much of that when rafting around here. The local waterways are rated in the top five in the world, for their optimal combination of safety and enjoyability. And the best bit is, they’re just a hop, skip and jump across the border from our adventure base in Andorra. Take a detour from the hiking and biking and enjoy 14 kilometres (9 miles) stretch of exhilarating whitewater rapids. You’re in good hands with local guides, and, crucially, there’s a bar at rafting HQ for a well-earned tipple afterwards.

Cycle the beech and black pine forests of Croatia

The rocky landscapes of Dalmatia were made for two-wheeled touring, and this stuff calls for some knobby tyres. Jump into the saddle of a mountain bike, click on those suspension forks and hit the forests of Paklenica National Park. Just don’t let those views of serrated Velebit mountain peaks distract you too much – or the eagles, deer and bears. This is a land of untouched nature, eclectic wildlife, and zillions (OK, definitely thousands) of plant species, many of them endemic. Historic stone villages one minute and Adriatic Sea views the next… this is not your average MTB adventure.

Kayak along the picture-perfect Amalfi Coast

The beauty of Italy’s Amalfi Coast really comes alive when seen from the water. The walking trails linking the tiny villages, such as the famous Footpath of the Gods, are an absolute must; but kayaking is the way to go to soak up the postcard views of those colourful clusters of houses built into those much-photographed hills by the sea. The excursion ends up in the quaint little beach Santacroce, a secluded hundred-metre long strip of rugged Amalfi perfection. It’s the perfect spot for an afternoon aperitivo before the return paddle begins.
