Top 10 trips for solo travellers

Solo explorers can share the magic of Patagonia’s awe-inspiring vistas and epic landscapes with like-minded travellers on our small group tours through Argentina and Chile. The incredible vistas of the jagged Torres del Paines mountains and vibrant glacial waters seem out-of-this-world - so much so that you might need to pinch yourself to believe you're really here. Hike in the shadow of the mighty Mount Fitz Roy pinnacle under the expert guidance of your local leader, trek across the vast Perito Moreno Glacier, and make new lifelong friends on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Jump in the saddle and join the pack for an unforgettable cycling adventure through the heart of the Transylvanian Alps. With your local cycling guide showing you the way and a support vehicle on stand by, solo explorers will never get lost or feel alone in this land of ancient customs and vampire mythology. Pedal along quiet country roads to uncover Gothic castles and colourful medieval towns and stop to refuel on some traditional placinta in a quirky cafe. Chat with your comrades as you follow the winding, dusty trails of the spectacular Piatra Craiului National Park and share the joy of exploring this fascinating country on two wheels.

Take a break from the stress of everyday life on a trip to Sri Lanka. With a history rich in Buddhist spirituality, Sri Lanka is a country with a welcoming and gracious culture, where solo travellers will feel at ease. Feel a sense of calm when you reach the summit of Sri Lanka’s iconic Sigiriya Rock as the sun rises over the verdant rainforest. Then head to the coastal town of Galle to soak up the relaxed bohemian ambience and join newfound friends for sundowners in a beach-side bar overlooking the aquamarine waters of the Indian Ocean.

Head to the Rockies and see nature at its best on a number of spectacular hikes with far-reaching views over the snow-capped mountains. After driving the breath-taking Icefields Parkway we head to Jasper National Park, where the Edith Cavell Trail gives an unforgettable view of the Angel Glacier that gets better and better as you ascend to the Cavell Meadows. Most nights of this trip are spent camping; there's no better way to get to know the rest of your group than sat around the campfire toasting marshmallows, chatting and playing games after a rewarding day's hiking. 

Immerse yourself in Lebanon's fascinating history and breathtaking mountain scenery on our small group tours. While Lebanon is safe to visit, as a solo adventurer you may feel more comfortable travelling in a group when encountering unfamiliar cultural differences. Feel at ease as you explore the ancient port city of Byblos, home to one of the earliest known records of the Phoenician alphabet. Later in the trip, you'll walk among the Cedars of Lebanon Forest, and marvel at St Anthony's monastery which dates back to the 12th century.
