 Lifestyle Tours - Holiday with a difference
         

The team is comprised of an international team of experienced outdoor guides, cyclists and mountain biking enthusiasts and travel consultants. With years of knowledge in travel and developing quality tours in remote destinations our team has the many different skills required to ensure tours operate as planned down to the smallest details.

Your options

With exciting destinations around the world we focus on delivering unique tours in locations that follow the same quality standard of service no matter where you are in the world. Many tours will be off the beaten tourist paths whilst some will be renowned locations that no global directory would be complete without.

Graded tour levels ensure that we have an experience for people of all ages and diverse backgrounds. From the uninitiated to the very experienced participant there is a Global Adventure Guide tour awaiting you in a variety of destinations - see full definitions below.

Tour group numbers are deliberately kept small to minimise the impact on the environment and maximise the individual experience. Fastidious planning leaves no side of the tour unattended to and experienced guides and management are on hand to ensure our tour runs like clockwork.

Whether you seek to hike amongst the world's highest peaks, cycle alongside a relaxing golden beach, or take a mountain bike ride through rugged mountainous terrain, we have the perfect adventure vacation for you to enjoy.

      

Summer time is a great time to enjoy an exhilarating mountain biking or road cycling adventure in South America including Argentina, Chile and Bolivia. Explore the Islands of Croatia on bike by day and accommodation at night on a beautifully appointed yacht. Capture the best Vietnam offers on a Vietnam mountain bike tour or Vietnam hiking tour during October and May. Even the off-season is filled with abundant biking, cycling and hiking opportunities in the fantastic New Zealand and Tasmania, Australia.

If you’re looking for excitement and action join one of our New Zealand mountain biking adventures, or try our hiking in New Zealand or hiking in Tasmania tours. We can even customise a tour for your friends and family so you can experience far-off cultures with the ones you love on a customised holiday adventure.

Extreme Tours are for those travelling to high altitude destinations. All our tours featuring rides to 4000 metres above sea level are automatically graded Extreme.
