Welcome to Active Adventures, Austin Adventures, and Discovery Bicycle Tours
With over 100 years of combined experience, our goal is to create inspiring, all-inclusive, small-group adventures in the most breathtaking regions of the world. Our teams across New Zealand, North America, Peru, Nepal, and Spain create a global network for a consistent experience for your clients. Hand-picked guides with a wealth of experience and local knowledge navigate the details so guests have the freedom to relax and explore the great outdoors, enjoy exclusive accommodations, and experience the best of each region with unique activities.
There’s a trip to suit everyone — for families with children to more challenging bucket-list adventures for couples, friends, or solo travelers. We create adventures of a lifetime and take care of every detail so your clients can relax, and have the time of their lives.
We also bring that same level of service to our travel advisors. Read on to find out how!
