South East Asia Cycling Adventure
Experience South East Asia on two wheels! Starting in Bangkok and travelling down through Cambodia, then onto Vietnam – you’ll be able to experience three countries within three weeks.
Travelling through rural Thailand and stumbling upon plantations and rice fields – all whilst on your bicycle – allows you to really see Thailand, and its people from a unique perspective. The Angkor Temple, Cambodia’s most famous landmark, is unrivalled in its architectural magnificence. A stop here followed by exploring the stone temples of Banteay Srei will leave you in awe of the beauty of Cambodia. It’s easy to blend in with the rest of the locals as you cycle along the Mekong Delta River of Vietnam, and take in the rural surroundings whilst you stay with locals in their villages. Discover the floating river markets and the mangroves that taper off from the body of the river, all whilst leisurely cycling through.

It features lightweight clothing for men and women, with an insect repellent finish as well as SolarShield technology that will protect you from harmful UV rays and irritating insect bites.
Walk the Rainforests of Costa Rica
Explore the diverse rainforests of Costa Rica, and find dormant volcanoes in your path. The beautiful trail of the Sarapiqui rainforest, alongside the river, is where you’ll see crocodiles sheltering in the cool waters, exotic birds cruising the banks, and sloths hiding in the trees. With a guided tour you’ll be able to view the magnificent Arenal Volcano from the thick forest of Cerro Chato. And even if the volcano is masked by cloud you can always hop back in the car and find the hot springs which are just a short distance away. You can also venture into the clouded forest of Monteverde, where its canopies house tropical flowers as well as tapir, howler monkeys, and ocelots. For the ultimate walking adventure holiday packages, Costa Rica and its rich landscape offer a multitude of wildlife and areas to explore.
What gear will you need?

Track Gorillas in Rwanda
For a truly unique adventure holiday, trekking through the Nyungwe forest of Rwanda and tracking gorillas is an unforgettable opportunity. On this adventure holiday you will be able to observe gorillas in their natural habitat and explore The Congo Nile Trail. This particular route is untouched, much like Lake Kivu, where you can stay at the water’s edge and enjoy boat trips. Musanze City is where you can expect to see the mountain gorillas in their natural home – where around 480 gorillas live – and where you’ll observe the powerful silverback gorilla. This is the adventure holiday of a lifetime and one that you will not easily forget.
What gear will you need?
Invest in sun protective clothing to prepare for your adventure holiday to Rwanda. Our sun protective range features SolarShield technology that will protect you from the sun’s harmful rays whilst you discover the beautiful silverback gorilla.
Husky Trekking in Finland
Finland is not often a destination that you would associate with adventure holidays abroad, but the forests of Finland offer the very best and most unique of extreme adventure holidays. It offers an opportunity to learn survival skills, observe wild bears, and go husky trekking. On this extreme adventure holiday you’ll be able to put up your own tepee, and fish for your own supper! Having spent the night in your own tepee you’ll be able to swim or canoe on the lake, before spending the night in a bear hide, lodging where you will hopefully see wild bears interact in their natural habitat. And the ultimate Finnish experience on this holiday is being able to go husky trekking! You’ll be able to take control of your huskies as they pull you along the forest trail.
What gear will you need?
For a wildlife adventure in Finland you’ll need to layer up and invest in insulated jackets and trousers. The Craghoppers Outdoor Performance Collection offers insulated jackets and trousers with water repellent technology that will keep you warm and dry as you learn survival skills in the forest.
