Self-Guided Hiking & Biking Trips
Self-guided trips are a great way to experience a new destination under your own steam. The choice is yours to cherry-pick your sightseeing stops, start early or later in the day to catch the sunrise or sunset, take the time to sample local coffees & meet the locals or linger a little longer over lunch. Accompanied by our in-depth trip notes, ActiveNav app and emergency contact details, you’ll never feel rushed or alone.
We’ll organise for the transport of your luggage, organise your accommodation and provide recommendations of what to see & do and where to eat & drink. Plus your ActiveNav app provides offline navigation (no mobile data required after the initial download).
