An adventure holiday is a travel experience that goes beyond sunbeds and swim-up bars. These trips focus on active exploration, outdoor activities, and immersive experiences. Whether it’s hiking in the Himalayas, white-water rafting in Costa Rica, camel trekking in Morocco or snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, our adventure holidays are designed for travellers who want to see the world—and feel it.

Thorne Travel can take you anywhere in the world—from iconic trekking routes to remote rainforests and snow-capped summits. Popular destinations include:

• New Zealand for hiking, skydiving and glow-worm caves
• Costa Rica for zip-lining, volcano hikes and jungle kayaking
• Iceland for glacier walks, Northern Lights and lava fields
• Peru for Machu Picchu, Inca Trail and mountain biking
• South Africa for safaris, shark diving and bungee jumping

Looking for something wilder, colder or more off-grid? We’ll design an adventure holiday to match your bucket list.

Not at all. Our adventure holidays cater for all levels of ability—from beginners wanting a taster of the great outdoors to seasoned explorers chasing the next challenge.
