Multi activity holidays Travel Guide

Never tried sea kayaking? Give it a go. Always wanted to go on a canopy walk above a jungle? Why the heck not. Mountain biking on actual mountains? Snorkelling over coral reefs? Zip-wiring, climbing, rafting or kiting? If you've always wanted to throw yourself into every second of your holiday then a multi activity break allows you to do just that, and then some.
One of the fundamental benefits of a multi activity holiday is that you can try something different every day. This means you can dip your toe in without being tied to one sole activity that you may or may not enjoy. Who knows, you may even discover a new hobby or interest that you'll be able to focus on further once you get home. France, Portugal, Mongolia, Nepal. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do; this is where things get exciting, so hold onto your bum bags, we're going in!

Kayaking, surfing and sailing are great ideas for activity holidays spent on the coast with Croatia, Costa Rica and Wales offering a veritable feast for those who love to be all at sea. Swapping the ocean for inland waterways is also a fantastic option and from the fast-flowing rivers of the Ardèche to the calmer waters of Montenegro’s Lake Skadar, water-based activities will bring you closer to nature than you'd ever dared to imagine.

There are loads of reasons to go on a multi activity holiday, with land-based options upping the ante when it comes to variety. Turkey, for example, has an abundance of biking, trekking and climbing potential, with equally impressive activities to be found further afield amongst the jungles of Costa Rica. Finally, the ever awesome French Alps is another versatile location with snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter versus high ropes, hiking and mountain climbing once snows have thawed.

Jungle treks in northern Thailand; cycling and trekking in Oman; mountain biking, abseiling and paragliding in the Himalayas; if you're up for trying anything once then the world's your oyster when it comes to adventure activities. A multi activity adventure holiday is one way to try something new in somewhere amazing so throw caution to the wind and see where your wildest dreams dare to take you.

Forget to listen to instructions. Safety helmets only look uncool if they're left sitting back at base and if you think ignoring instructions in favour of your hairstyle is sensible then you've really got to get out more. Buoyancy aids, harnesses and general guidance on safety all need to be adhered to and it doesn't matter whether you've been enjoying activity holidays all your life, the first time you stop listening to instructions could well be the last.

Overthink it. We can all come up with a huge list of excuses why we can't do something and if you consider all the things that could go wrong whilst travelling then it's inevitable that fear will start to creep in. By putting yourself in the hands of experts you're acting responsibly and if you listen to instructions and ensure positives outweigh negatives there's no reason why you can't do anything you put your mind towards. Go for it!

Opt for shoestring alternatives. Although you might be down to the bare bones budget wise it’s seriously inadvisable to opt for a super cheap alternative when it comes to your safety and well-being. Of course, not all low budget activity operators are going to put your life in danger and no way should you stop yourself undertaking independent activities; however, just make sure you've taken every step possible to ensure your trip is as memorable as possible for all the right reasons.
