Active Adventure
While you may be a “Hodophile” (Greek for a person who loves to travel and explore), are you an “Adventurer” – a lover of Adventure Travel? Adventure Travel is a personal perspective and therefore difficult to define. It is about connecting with people and places and generally being physically active outside in nature doing so. The essence can be as simple as the desire to try something new or participate in something outside one’s comfort zone. It can be physically challenging, it can be mentally challenging, it can enhance one’s connection to people and place; the thrill of a jungle zipline, the ascent of a mountain peak, or simply the heightened awareness a guided walk in the African bush.
As adventurers ourselves, and with decades of adventure travel planning experience, we can tailor the perfect blend of adventure into itineraries based on your ability level and interests.

Iceland:
Midnight Sun; Northern Lights: Stunning Landscapes. Rugged and tempestuous, Iceland is a landscape of raw beauty, friendly local people, and as many off-the-beaten path adventures as there are iconic landmarks.

“My husband and I thank you for arranging such a perfect trip to Belize. Everything about it was outstanding: the accommodations were perfect, the activities fantastic with personal and professional tour and dive guides, seamless transfers from place to place, and you even arranged for superb weather! Your attention to every little detail is very much appreciated. My husband and I greatly look forward to our next Great Expeditions journey to Indonesia. Judging from the Belize trip, we know that, too will be perfect. Thank you very much and we will recommend your travel services without hesitation or reservation”.
