Multi activity vacations advice

“Definitely buy the LifeStraw water bottles as being able to refill the bottle with lake water was a revelation. Make sure you have a good, basic level of fitness to get the most out of it and be brave! I never thought I would jump off a 5m high platform into a river. Pack your case and then remove 1/2 of the clothes, you just need shorts, T-shirts, swimwear, trainers and water shoes (during summer). We tagged on 3 days in Perast at the end which was just lovely and I would recommend it.”

“Book with someone who has real experience of the area and can give you information about all the extras. Tenille from our tour operator was an expert in the area as it is our understanding that she lived there for part of the year there. She spent time giving us information about everything from what types of clothing to best locations. Nothing was too much trouble. As Costa Rica has so many micro-climates you need someone who has been there more than once to really ensure that you get the maximum benefit.”

“The most exciting part of the vacation was white water rafting in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was my children's first experience of rapids. It was very interesting to cross over the border and experience Bosnia and Herzegovina. The most memorable moment of the trip was the 35km mountain bike ride, which I thought I would never complete, my children were impressed with my abilities.”
– Lisa Healy, Water sports activity vacation in Croatia.

“We took many clothes with us but only ended up wearing a handful. The winter gear provided by the hotel was more than adequate to keep us warm. I would suggest taking some ski goggles especially for the snow mobile tours as the helmets provided often iced up.”
– Antonia Taylor-Howe, Winter adventure in Finland

“The hike to the mountain refuge was an extraordinary experience. It was quite a challenging walk, but absolutely worth it. Along the route we were treated to stunning views and a river to swim in. And when we finally reached the refuge, we were rewarded with sunshine, cold beer, plenty of food and a cosy place to sleep. A truly memorable couple of days.” – Richard Davidson, Family adventure vacation to France

“Go for it! - Although they are a small company, they will look after you like no other! Plus because you interact with local people you have a much greater understanding of the country and get a real feel for the place. It is an exciting alternative and perfect antidote to a beach vacation!”
– Ollie Peacock, Multi activity vacation in Greece

“Meeting up with 11 other like minded people to enjoy the whole experience, a real once in a lifetime vacation. Be prepared to open your imagination, experience new challenges everyday, and leave with some incredible memories.” – Iain Buchanan, Canadian Rockies Adventure Vacation

“Definitely go swimming in the natural pools – don't let the fish bother you – and the reservoirs – so stunning to swim in such scenery. Do the white water rafting - fantastic fun. We tried horse riding for the first time and it was great - where we went will probably be a little tame for anyone who is experience. Have breakfast and dinner - the food is homemade and excellent and it’s a very chilled way to spend the evening.” – Brendan O, Altiplano de Granada activity vacation in Spain
