What to Expect on a Cultural Adventure

Every culture lover knows what comes to mind when they want to explore, whether it’s catching the enchanting gaze of the Mona Lisa, listening to the tales passed down through generations by a fire in front of a Bedouin tent, or exploring Peru; from the vivid coast of Lima to the ancient Incan ruins in the misty and mystical mountain plateaus of the Andes.

This is your path to discover cultural adventures – from a Japanese ryokan to the African savannah – where tradition, history, nature, and local cuisine unite for an unforgettable journey.

Discover Ancient Worlds

Follow in the footsteps of those whose names have made their way into the history books – from the tombs of Tutankhamun to the ruins where noble gladiators met their fate in front of Julius Caesar. Unleash your inner Indiana Jones on an adventure to the past.

Unlock Secrets of the Past

Wander through castle halls that whisper scandalous tales from times gone by or get a dose of reality on the battlefields that changed history forever. Unlock secrets lost in time and observe artefacts from museums that house stories of trials and tribulations.

Embrace a New Way of Life

Escape to a land that is not like your own and dive head-first into experiences and traditions of profound significance. A cultural adventure embraces daily rituals and routines from all over the world to create a memorable insight you won’t find back home.

Celebrate at Local Festivals

Time your adventure right with an experience that celebrates tradition. Release a lantern into the illuminated skies of Chiang Mai or honour everything that is good in the world with a throw of bright gulal in Jaipur. There’s no better way to delve into a culture than relishing like a local.

With many cultural experiences all over the world, it’s hard to narrow down where to go and what to do. Our Travel Experts have hand-picked the top cultural experiences you must add to your itinerary – there’s no better way to delve into traditions, history and culture!

What to Expect on an Active Adventure

Don’t just see the world, experience it. Trek and discover traditions of local hill tribes, bike over unforgiving yet breathtaking alpine terrain, paddle to island coves only accessible by water, or hang high in jungle canopies like sloths on a zipline. From New Zealand’s adrenaline-fueled activities to the desert dunes of Africa, the best Active tours not only liberate the soul but also satisfy that deep craving for adventure!

An activity, or two, or three!

Centered around the activities on tour, there’s no shortage of fun, exhilarating experiences to be had! Whether you want to try your hand at surfing, weave through high mountain passes on a bike, or dive deep to discover a colorful underwater world – why choose one? An Active adventure has them all!

Good old rest n’ relaxation

After a day full of active adventures, there’s nothing quite like soothing your muscles and taking a break. That’s the beauty of an organized trip, everything’s taken care of – from a hearty meal ready to fuel the day ahead to a luxury hotel spa calling your name. Yes, please!

Share your adventure

Beautiful things happen when we push ourselves and very few people can relate to that. Connect with those who love the outdoors just as much as you do on a group Active adventure. Recount stories over a beer at an Old English pub, or huddle together over a campfire waiting for the Northern Lights to make their grand appearance.

Chase the thrill

You can’t quite describe an adrenaline rush until you’ve felt it – that overwhelming sense of pushing your limits, breaking down barriers, and just simply going for it! An Active tour guarantees endorphins and smiles, from shredding fresh-powdered slopes on a snowboard, to an action-packed multisport adventure!

What to Expect on an Overland Adventure

Overlanding isn’t just a trip, it’s a lifestyle! Embrace your inner Indiana Jones on an expedition only a few have done before. Camp out under Botswana’s impossibly starry skies, play hide-and-seek with Rwanda’s elusive primates, and sandboard down the impressive dunes of Namibia – all in one itinerary. Find your home-away-from-home on an Overland truck touring the Australian Outback, South America’s mountains or safari reserves in the African sun.

Long drives worth the wait

From the sparkling salt flats of Uyuni to the dry arid plains of Dead Vlei, an Overland itinerary is packed full of unique travel experiences well worth the long drives to get there. With remote locations that only the locals know and a true escape from your day-to-day, the dirty wheels of an Overland truck have been alluring explorers for decades!

A wilderness escape

Do you dream of switching off and just taking some quality time out? With desolate destinations that are not on your typical tourist itinerary, Overlanding is the ultimate wilderness escape. From stays in the heart of game reserves to authentic local experiences, you’ll return with captivating stories and an album full of treasured memories.

Plenty of free time

It’s not unusual for an Overland adventure to span several weeks or even months! For those looking for a bucket-list itinerary or a way to celebrate a milestone, a cross-continent Overlanding experience is guaranteed to tick all of your boxes – and with ample free time, you won’t want to leave!

One-of-a-kind experiences

Get up close to the human-like primates of Rwanda, race down the terracotta dunes of Sossusvlei, set your sights on the Inca ruins of the Andes, or try your hand at catching the waves on Australia’s golden coast. With itineraries packed full of adventure, an Overland trip really does have it all!

What to Expect on a Safari Adventure

Shhh! There’s something truly heart-stopping about pure silence on the African plains. Whether you’re focusing your lens on a pack of elephants in Chobe or searching for that classic David Attenborough moment with the Big Five in Serengeti, a safari is the epitome of adventure. From the turtles of the Galapagos to the rhinos of Nepal, the world is full of wildlife experiences just waiting to be witnessed!

Witness geological wonders

Combine your love of animal spotting with the chance to visit some of the world’s most beautiful and photogenic nature destinations. Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, for example, is one of the few places in the world where you can discover traces of our earliest ancestors. Rocks in shades of orange sit above grassy plains as dust billows around this geological wonder.

Stay under starry skies

After exploring the open plains and rolling hills, what better way to cement your safari experience than by immersing yourself in the wilderness that surrounds you? After experiencing the extraordinary wildlife, pitch a tent or cosy up in a luxury lodge and fall asleep under the starry African stars. The experience will be something you remember for many years to come!

Face-to-face encounters

For an up-close encounter with a majestic beast like a lion, this is the ultimate experience. How many times have you watched a documentary in which mere mortals can observe spectacular species in their natural habitat? Experience it for yourself! A game drive will offer you a chance to venture out into the wild among some of the most exquisite creatures.

Delve into local culture

Wildlife spotting is one reason to go on a Safari, but culture is another. If you want to learn a little about rural life and some of the rituals and customs of Africa, then make sure you visit a Maasai village during your safari. Discover the heritage of these remarkable tribal communities, from their traditional jewellery and dancing to the history of their warriors.

What to Expect on an Explorer Adventure

Calling fellow adventurers! Tossing up between a hike of Mount Fuji to admire sunrise views, a kayaking excursion on pristine Lake Louise, or even a stroll through the vineyard valleys of the Rhine? On an explorer tour, you don’t have to choose. Curated to ignite your sense of adventure, entice you to try something new, and fall in love with cultures all over the world, an explorer adventure is every traveller’s dream, creating the perfect overview of a country (or continent!).

With a world full of new and exciting experiences, it’s hard to limit yourself to just a few, on an Explorer tour you don’t have to!
