TREKKING
 Over high mountain pass, through lush rainforest, or across frozen tundra, trekking is exploration at its' most intimate. You defy time in close interaction with nature and culture, existing as they have for centuries.
An average of 6 - 8 trekking hours is cushioned with as many breaks as needed and an energizing lunch is provided. There are plenty of opportunities to take pictures and interact with local communities as you pass through small villages. When necessary, we gain elevation slowly to allow trekkers to acclimatize and adapt to the rigours of the trails. Trained guides and staff take you along the paths so you can move at your own pace without losing the group. All trips are rated from easy to most challenging in order to help clients understand the level of fitness required for each trekking exploration.
OVERLAND
 Whether vast mountain range, endless steppe, or immeasurable jungle landscape, sometimes there is too much area to cover by foot. Travelling overland allows you to see the most in the vacation days you have.
and mini-buses are provided for all long distance travel. Mornings begin with a quick breakfast, and lunches are prepared for you, at the next destination, or at a stunning location on the way. Dinners are planned for the group at the site or, in cities, either at the best local restaurants. On some nights, you'll have the freedom to explore local cuisine on your own.
If requested, we can occasionally arrange for home stays so guests can see how local people live.
RAFTING
 Raft over white water rapids, sea kayak through tropical caves and grottoes, canoe down serene rivers and lakes.
All forms of water travel are enjoyed by those who want to play an active role in their vacation. Whether rafting or kayaking, guests are an active member of a team- paddling, rowing, steering or throwing weight from side to side. As with trekking, levels of difficulty are indicated for all water explorations, and there are trips for all levels of experience. Our highly qualified guides
provide instruction and ensure the safety of guests. Rivers are ranked according to the difficulty of their most severe rapids, with Class I being very calm rivers, and Class V with the most turbulent waves and unpredictable rapids.
BIKING
 Capture the freedom of exploration while cycling across spectacular terrain. Peddling liberates your thoughts to allow new experiences.
We provide high quality equipment, from bikes and helmets to any necessary camping gear. The trip leader bikes with the group, and our support van is always nearby to carry gear, make repairs, give a lift, or provide refreshment. Trips are rated by difficulty: easier trips cover 10 - 30 miles with 2 to 4 hours of biking per day, on mostly level of gently rolling landscape and daily elevation gains of not more than 1500 feet. Challenging trips cover 40 - 70+ miles per day in 5 to 7 hours or more, on hilly or mountainous trails and there may be daily elevation gains of 3,000 feet or more. Intermediate trips fall in between these extremes, and a detailed rating is indicated on each itinerary.
RIDING
 What better way to feel like an explorer than joining the nomads on the their choice of transport? Whether you are on horse, camel, or elephant back, you will share a common bond with the local travelers.
We use animals and wranglers who are experienced in the local terrain, and we use local tack. On pure riding trips, most guests are experienced, although novices with basic riding training and wilderness travel experience are welcomed. On multi-sport adventures, beginners are welcomed as long as they feel comfortable around animals and are ready for a day of riding. Our wranglers fit the animals to the ability of the individual. Depending on your riding preference, you can spend as long or short amount of time on the trails as you like as more one than one guide will accompany the group. These journeys are also graded from easy to most challenging, depending on the length of the ride, type of terrain, and experience required.
