How to Choose the Best Adventure Travel Tour
Companies

  • Adventure travel tours are a unique way to
    immerse yourself in a new country while learning
    all about your surroundings from an experienced
    guide and interacting with the culture in an
    array of exclusive scenarios. From sitting in on
    community gatherings in remote villages to doing
    volunteer work in big cities to exploring the
    great wilderness in between, an adventure travel
    tour can give you a holistic experience abroad
    that is not possible by any other means.
  • There is certainly something to be said for the
    freedom of traveling independently, but what you
    sacrifice in the flexibility of your itinerary as
    an independent traveler, you gain in the steadily
    perfect itinerary of experienced adventure travel
    tour companies. Adventure tours are great for
    younger travelers who will benefit from the
    guidance, older travelers who will benefit from
    the ease, and everyone in between who is
    interested in learning a little bit more about
    the country to which they have come as guests.

What to look for in adventure travel tours
  • Organized adventure travel tours are perfect for
    people who dont have the time to plan every
    detail of their trip or maybe dont spend their
    free time daydreaming about navigating bus
    schedules and museum fees Those pesky details
    like lodging, transportation, meals, and general
    sightseeing, are all included. Spend less time
    stressing about logistics and more time present
    on your adventure. These tours are also a great
    way to connect with like-minded travelers from
    all over the country and world who have similar
    interests and adventurous spirits.
  • These are the hallmarks of a great adventure
    travel tour, and things you should take into
    consideration as you start searching for your
    next adventure

Specific Activity Experience Level
  • Hiking. Biking. Kayaking. Climbing. Surfing.
    Snorkeling. Spelunking. The list of possible
    adventure activities to indulge in abroad seems
    never ending. No matter your desire for
    adrenaline, theres a trip out there for you.
  • Whatever specific activity or endless combination
    of activities, you want to make sure that its
    suited to your skill and fitness level. If youre
    a beginner rock climber, or youre not as in
    shape as you used to be, an advanced-level
    climbing trip with long days of trekking between
    spots might not be for you. But, if youre out
    here riding around Tour de Francestyle, you might
    want to look for a more challenging biking tour.
    You know your limits best, dont push yourself
    too hard, and look for an adventure tour that
    matches your fitness and skill level.

Logistics
  • As a traveler, you want to maximize your outdoor
    adventure time, so its good to know exactly how
    much time youll spend on buses, trains, and
    planes, in order to reach any and all of your
    destinations.
  • Are there long days of driving involved? Will you
    be trekking from place to place? How many
    travel/transport days are there compared to
    actual activities/adventure time? Will you be
    staying in guest houses? Hostels? Hotels? All of
    these things vary between different adventure
    travel tour companies and itineraries, so youll
    want to go with the one that suits your needs and
    comfort level.

Group to Guide Ratio
  • This can really make or break an experience.
    Youre looking forward to traveling with a group
    of like-minded adventurers, sure, but a huge
    charter bus with 50 people to one haggard,
    overwhelmed guide is no ones idea of a good
    time. Especially if youre going to be doing a
    lot of outdoor activities. Climbing with too many
    people gets boring and stressful, and youre more
    likely to have a wider range of experience level.
    Less is more, when it comes to the size of your
    adventure travel tour groups. That way you get to
    know everyone youre traveling with AND your
    guide.
  • Trust us, you really want to get to know your
    expert guide. They know your host country and
    adventure activity better than anyone! They have
    all the insider info on local culture, customs,
    and the best spots for everything climbing,
    kayaking, hiking, etc. etc. 

7
Cost
  • Obviously, this is a huge factor. And, with the
    cost of the program, you also want to look at
    whats included. Most adventure travel tours will
    include lodging, meals, transportation, and
    equipment rentals in the program fee, but always
    double check! There might be days where lunch is
    on your own, or you might be required to bring
    some of your own gear depending on the activity.
    Youd hate to forget trekking poles and be SOL on
    your hike through the Swiss Alps.

What to look for in adventure travel
tour companies
  • Credibility
  • First, you want to make sure that the adventure
    travel tour company you choose is an established,
    credible provider. Look at how long the company
    has been around, how long theyve been operating
    in the region you want to travel to, read up on
    their background. Also check out reviews from
    past participants.
  • Local buy-in
  • You also want to make sure that the adventure
    travel tour company you choose has a positive
    local presence wherever their programs embark. Do
    they hire local employees and guides to lead the
    tours? And how much of the money feeds back into
    local communities, versus a larger parent
    corporation? These are questions you should ask
    yourself to ensure youll be travelling with a
    fair, locally valued program.

  • Expert Guides 
  • Also look into the kinds of guides that lead the
    adventure travel tours themselves. Are they
    teachers? Experienced travelers? Locals who know
    how to get about town? Your adventure travel tour
    guide can be a defining element of the
    experience, so you want to make sure you match
    with them stylistically.
  • Dig through as many reviews as you can. Reach out
    to alumni. Reach out to the company itself and
    talk to a representative. Simply put, do your
    research. This is a big decision, and youll want
    to make sure that youre as informed as possible
    in making it. Narrow your list down to a final
    few options, and cover all your bases in picking
    the right one.
  • Make a thorough checklist of all of these points
    to consider, so youll know what to look for as
    you're doing your research and so you wont get
    blindsided by any nasty surprises abroad. In
    truth, most adventure travel tour companies know
    what theyre doing, and most guides that work for
    adventure travel tour companies know what theyre
    doing. But, its important that you enter into
    the experience with at least a basic idea of what
    youre getting yourself into.
