Enrichment Every Step of the Way

Wherever our Active Journeys take you, you’ll gain insights into the area’s cuisine and cultural traditions, wildlife and geology— connecting with local people as well as experts in the field. You may find yourself sitting among mountain gorillas in Rwanda with a knowledgeable park guide—and learning about everyday life while sharing a meal in a family home in Kigali. You’ll bike through the centuries in Ireland’s Aran Islands, getting to know the culture of the Gaeltacht, and revel in traditional Irish music in the pubs of Doolin.

From a glacier expert in Iceland to a shaman in Peru, spend time with people who interpret both the natural and cultural landscape, and complement your time on the trail with cooking classes or wine tastings, guided tours of regional museums, and visits to historic sites.
