Adventure Holidays Abroad

Safe, hassle-free, and immersive activity holidays that take you to new places across the globe

Picture this: you’re herding livestock on horseback on the vast Mongolian Steppe or hiking ancient ruins on the legendary Inca trails in Peru. This is just a snapshot of what you can do with Projects Abroad on one of our Authentic Adventures!

Our authentic adventure holidays are safe and hassle-free, and give you the ultimate immersive experience in different cultures. They’re ideal for:

Solo travellers (ages 18-50+) interested in adventure holidays with a set group
Couples looking for experience holidays where they can explore together
Families keen to take a thrilling activity holiday with young kids or teenagers

We run trips on set dates throughout the year, including summer and winter, so adventure travel is around the corner whenever you’re looking for it. We offer:

One- and two-week adventure holidays
Last minute adventure holidays (if you’re looking for a trip with late availability, contact us to see what we can do for you)
Bespoke adventure holidays for groups of five or more

Read on below for more information on the options we offer for different age groups.

Adventure Holidays for Young People

Young people go on an adventure holiday pretty much anywhere with us. While you experience adventure, you’ll be focused on immersing yourself in the culture. If you choose an Authentic Adventure with an aspect of overseas volunteer work, you’ll find the experience isn’t just an adventure. It’s an opportunity to give back and discover what you're capable of.

Why not join a Discovery Tour in Peru? It's your chance to explore the Sacred Valley, hike the Inca Trail, marvel at Machu Picchu, and wonder at Rainbow Mountain.

Best of all, these are trips taking place over set dates, so you’ll be joining a group of like-minded people. Perfect for solo travellers interested in adventure holidays where you don’t have to be alone. In addition, our local staff will be there to provide support whenever you need it.

Adventure Holidays Abroad for Adults (30+)

Adventure is the expectation, and adventure is what we provide. Our trips combine cultural immersion and tourism, and invite you to experience a country’s tastes, smells, and thrills for yourself. In addition, most of our Discovery Tours take place over one week, which makes them a good fit for any schedule, no matter how busy. Don’t want to be away from home too long? Have a limited number of days off from work? Not to worry, we have an adventure holiday for you! View our complete list of Authentic Adventures below.

If you’re interested in short-term volunteering while you’re abroad, we recommend taking a look at our pre-planned Team Trips.

Family Adventure Holidays

You don’t need to leave the kids at home when you book an adventure holiday with us! We offer a range of volunteer projects that can accommodate families with children as young as four, to teenagers. Alongside these projects, we can organise exciting activities to fill your free time and weekends, like cooking classes and sightseeing tours. These trips can be tailored specifically to your family by our Project and Destination Experts, and they’ll help you design the best family adventure holiday.

Bespoke Group Adventure Holidays

Keen to share the adventure with a group of friends, school mates, or colleagues? We’re more than happy to chat about the possibilities for group adventure holidays with you.

With our customised group trips for five or more, we’ll design a programme to fit your group’s exact requirements and goals. Our expert local staff can adjust activities according to ages, needs, and abilities, so everyone will be included. We’re also committed to providing you with a hassle-free experience, with no hidden fees. We can provide:

Visa advice
Accommodation
Three meals a day
A full volunteer project
Airport pick-ups and drop-offs
Ground transportation to and from your project
An itinerary packed with exciting leisure, cultural, and adventure activities

We’ll focus on the nitty-gritty aspects of travel while you focus on what’s important: helping to make a positive change in the world while having the adventure of a lifetime.

While we’ve recommended certain Authentic Adventures for specific age groups, that’s all it is: a recommendation. In practice, our Authentic Adventures are open to everyone from the age of 18 upwards, and you can choose whichever one interests you most. Speak to our Project Experts for advice more tailored to your goals, passions, and ideas for adventure holidays.
