Our Activity Levels

• Activity Level 1

  What's The Rush?

  I'm active and in decent shape and not looking to experience a place just through a bus window. I'm happy to slow down on the trail, soak it in and breathe in the fresh air.

  Walking: 2-3 hours per day on gentle-gradient trails. 

  Other activities: On these trips, you'll be taking part in a range of other activities that focus less on building up a sweat and more on enjoying the finer things in life. 

• Activity Level 2

  On the Move

  Sure, I own some hiking boots, they're even worn in, but they don't go on long trips. I like my creature comforts and I like to give a range of activities a go.

  Walking: 2-4 hours per day on gentle to moderate gradient trails. No multi-day hikes. 

  Biking: 1-3 hours, cruisy rides achievable by anyone, even first-timers. Kayaking: 1-3 hours, entry-level sea kayaking with specialist guides and stable boats. 

  Other activities (i.e. snorkeling): Always optional and very little exertion required. A highlight for many! 

• Activity Level 3

  Step It Up

  I love an active vacation. Engaging in a challenging activity with a difficult goal, such as reaching a summit, is exactly what I need to unwind in the evenings.

  Hiking: Typically, 3-6 hours per day on well-formed backcountry trails. Expect some significant gradient inclines and declines. 

  Altitude: Your trip may include some moderate altitude areas, though these don't form the focus of the trip and are generally manageable. 

  Biking: 1-3 hours on well-formed paths or roads where you can expect some hills with moderate climbs and descents.  

  Kayaking: 1-3 hours, entry-level sea kayaking with specialist guides and stable boats. 

  Other activities (i.e. caving): Always optional and very little exertion required. A highlight for many! 

• Activity Level 4

  Challenge Accepted

  I'll let my trusty guides sweat the small things, so I can focus on my goal. Getting to the top, reaching the end, achieving my dreams! Sure, it'll be tough, but the views will be worth it.

  Hiking / Trekking: Typically, 4–6-hour hikes with options for more, sometimes with limited or no vehicle support and nearly always with ascents and descents. 

  Altitude: Some trips at this level will reach a significant altitude. We are here to help you manage that and make your experience one to cherish for a lifetime. 

  Biking & Kayaking: If one, or both, of these activities are 'your thing,' there are trip options in this range, allowing you to be on two wheels or with a paddle in your hand for most of the day. 

• Activity Level 5

  The Upper Limit

  I'm ready to put in the hard work to reap the rewards. I'm a seasoned adventurer, not afraid to get my boots wet.

  Trekking & Altitude: This is classic trekking, at altitude. Some might even call it 'expedition-style.' We've had folks from all walks of life achieve their dreams on our grade 5 trips, so if you're in for a challenge get in touch to find out if this is for you.
