Small group adventure travel

Small group adventures are aimed at those who want a little more action out of their holiday. They are not aimed at fitness fanatics or the hard core action adventurer. If you want to try new activities, have new experiences and discover new places, but are not really sure how to go about it then this is the type of holiday for you. It's an easy way to have the experience of a lifetime. Experts arrange activities and accommodation leaving the only thing for you to do, is to have a good time.

For some of these trips your state of fitness is important especially for the holidays that have an emphasis on walking or cycling. A general level of fitness will help you to enjoy your holiday and also won't hold back the rest of the group.

You'll be travelling in a small group – typically between 6 and 20 people although this will vary from trip to trip. Smaller groups are less intrusive and minimise impact on local cultures and the environment. Travelling in a smaller group also allows more flexibility and a great chance for you to really get to know your travelling companions.

Your group will accompanied by a tour leader who will travel alongside you for the majority of the trip. Many companies use local guides who will be able to give you a unique insight into the country and area that you'll be visiting. The age range of the group could be anything between 18 and 60 and may contain a mix of novices, experienced travellers, single travellers or travelling with a partner. What everyone will share however, will be an open outlook and a desire for adventure!

Accommodation is mainly chosen for its character as well as its convenience rather than forming the main emphasis of the holiday so you may find yourself in anything from a castle to a tent – it'll all add to the experience!
