With a spring in your step!

January usually sees an increase in enquiries to our more active trips (post-Xmas guilt anyone?) and this year is no exception. However, if the thought of trekking to Everest Base Camp or climbing the heights of Kilimanjaro fills you with dread but you still want to work up a bit of a sweat on your holiday then take a look at the following selection of adventurous tours.

From gentle day treks between hill tribes to sailing trips on the Mediterranean, from mountain-biking in the Galapagos to summiting live volcanoes in Indonesia we can get you out and about without raising your pulse too much. Or you could still get over the 5,000m mark of course....
