Independent adventure holidays

If you fancy an adventure holiday of your own, perhaps with a partner or group of friends, then consider independent adventure holidays. These private trips have set itineraries, sometimes with guides, and you can avoid travelling with people you don’t know. They are great value for money, and are all run by specialist responsible operators.

Khao Sok tour, three days, Thailand
It’s hard to pick out the best bits; the whole 3 days were fab. For me it was probably the scenery at Chieow Laan Lake which is without doubt the most beautiful place I have seen. The children loved swimming and canoeing in the lake. (more)
