Land adventures
FUN ON TERRA FIRMA
Walking from one headland to the next, cycling valley to valley, galloping across grasslands, watching wildlife in wilderness, conquering cols or striving for summits. These are the things that people dream of to shake off the stresses and strains of busy lives. With many small group tours out there, where you are guided by local experts, just pack and go. Or, more appropriately, go for it.
Iconic trips
Small group holidays grew out of people’s desires to take on the iconic odysseys. Such as walking the Great Wall of China, hiking to Everest Basecamp, scaling Mont Blanc, summitting Mount Kilimanjaro, exploring Toubkal and the Atlas Mountains, or trekking the Inca Trail. Because, yes, you can organise these yourself but it will take months. And a lot of good contacts. Plus you can put your trust in a company that has spent years developing these contacts and seeking out expertise. Leaving you time to just get fit, trip ready and enjoy the adventure.
Trekking
At Responsible Travel, we have so many extraordinary walking holidays on offer it is hard to know where to start. Except to tell you a few of our lesser known secrets: Portugal’s Serra de Estrela Mountains, France’s Mercantour National Park, Japan’s Nakasendo Trail ,Canada’s Vancouver Island, and the hiking heartland of Turkey in Central Anatolia. As well as all the vias in the ‘ias’: Check out Romania, Andalucia, Albania, Slovakia and Slovenia.

If you'd like to chat about adventure holidays or need help finding a holiday to suit you we're very happy to help.

Horse riding
First things first. You do not have to be an expert to go on a horse riding holiday. Most cater for beginners, people who haven’t been in the saddle for years, as well as regular devotees of course. Trekking across landscapes such as Chianti, Catalonia or Cuba is a thing of dreams. Mongolia, Morocco and Montenegro are otherworldly. Just check with the tour operator what experience is required first.
Wilderness adventures
Wildlife lovers will covet some of the wild places where you can venture on holiday. By definition these are in places pretty much untouched by man, so don’t expect to sleep in a boutique hotel. Wilderness holidays take to the likes of the Yunnan Province in China, the Khangai Mountains of Mongolia or the Maliau Basin of Borneo. Or, closer to home, High Atlas Mountains of Morocco and the Wild Taiga in Finland.
