FAQs about our activity holidays

What types of activity holidays are there?

There are all sorts of activity holidays you can go on abroad with Exodus. Whether your thing is trekking, canoeing, skiing or cycling, you can find trips with the activity focus you want. A lot of our holidays roll several activities into one so that you get a great, all-round experience. Will you zip-line through a jungle, trek a mountain range, or try out some snorkelling?

We also have a great selection of mixed-activity family-friendly holidays with opportunities to explore at an appropriate ability level (see each individual package to get an idea of the minimum age appropriate for the trip).

How are the activities graded?

You’ll notice we’ve given each of our activity trips a “leisurely”, “moderate” or “challenging” rating. This is to give you a good idea of what to expect from your holidays so that you don’t turn up and find it’s too much or too little for your taste. As a guideline, all trips require a certain level of good health and enjoyment of the outdoors. You can read more to find out how our grading system works in full detail.

We’ve also put together some handy guides to help you prepare for your activity holidays and make sure your fitness is up to scratch before you go. These complement our activity grading system and we recommend you take a look.

What age groups are suitable for your activity holidays?

This depends on which holiday you’re looking at. If you’re bringing the whole family, including children, you may want to look at our family activity holidays specifically.

At the other end of the spectrum, we have challenging hikes for experienced walkers aged 16 and above, such as our Everest Base Camp treks. Most of our cycling holidays are also 16+.

If in doubt, simply consult the age recommended at the top of the page of the holiday you’ve got your eye on!

What do I need to wear for an activity holiday?

This has a lot to do with the activities you expect to participate in and the climate. As a rule, sturdy walking shoes that you’ve broken in are an essential. If you’re going on a winter holiday or something that involves boating, you should consult the overview tab to see if any additional equipment is provided by us, or if you need to bring it yourself.

Please be aware that even if you’re going on an activity holiday abroad to a region that generally has a warm climate, your adventure may take you to higher altitudes where the temperature can drop or where colder nights might be common. Wherever you go, it’s always wise to bring layers!

Are flights and accommodation included in your Exodus activity holidays?

Please see the individual trip pages and Trip Notes for details of what is included in specific trips. We have 1000s of flight options at our fingertips so if you would like to book your flights with us as well please discuss your plans with our Sales team, or if booking online, let us know what you’d like and we’ll come back to you with some options. For more details on the flights we offer and the benefits of booking your flights through us, please see our flight information page https://www.exodus.co.uk/your-flights-your-choice.

Are the activity trips guided?

We offer a mix of guided and self-guided trips. Some people love to travel in groups and others prefer to go at their own pace, so we’ve taken this into account and designed amazing activity holidays for every type of traveller.

If you’re eying up a specific holiday, it should indicate whether the trip is guided or self-guided in the “Ways to Travel” field at the top of the page. Some holidays also offer the option to travel in a private group with people you know only.

What are the groups like on Exodus activity holidays?

If you choose to travel as part of one of our guided groups, you’ll probably find it’s a mix of solo travellers, couples and friends. This can be a really enriching experience; in fact, it sometimes results in travellers making new life-long friends who they plan future trips with!

I had such an amazing time on this Porto to Lisbon cycling trip. The routes were beautiful and varied, from coastal paths and sandy beaches to charming villages and historic towns like Óbidos. The pace felt relaxed and manageable, with plenty of stops to enjoy the scenery, food and local culture. The hotels were lovely and well located, and everything was really well organised from start to finish. It felt like the perfect balance of activity and downtime, and a great way to see Portugal in a more immersive way. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting an active but enjoyable escape. This is also ideal for first time cyclists!

Georgia Letts Porto to Lisbon Atlantic Ride

This 12 day adventure in Northern Vietnam was so much more than a hiking trip; we were invited into the homes and families of those we stayed with and were offered a genuine insight into their lives. It was such a privilege to spend time with Lihn and our other local guides, who told stories of their childhoods in the countryside they led us through. This is a new route and feels untouched by tourism, so it felt very special to be part of this trip.

Anne Dawson Hiking in Northern Vietnam

We loved this trip and would definitely recommend it. The route (& hotels) start to improve markedly after the first couple of days, where there is a lot of riding on busy roads through some fairly industrial areas south of Lisbon. Hence 4 stars not 5. However, once you get to Sines and head towards the Algarve, the experience really takes off and the scenery becomes progressively more spectacular as you ride south. There is much more off road riding (mainly gravel trails) which we prefer and the standard of accomodation is excellent. The trip ends on a high at a superb hotel in Sagres (Hotel Memmo Baleeira) and some of the most stunningly beautiful coastal scenery in Europe. I do wonder whether the trip would be improved by starting further south eg Sines, then adding in some circular rides on the extra days that creates. We’d happily take the trip again if that was an option.
