Private biking, hiking, rafting and exploration trips are more popular than ever.
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that we need to self-select and maintain our own pod or bubble as much as we can. That’s especially true with adventure travel. Instead of traveling with strangers, why not travel with people that you know? For those who can afford it, the world of private adventure trips is a no-brainer. Most private departures are coming from the boutique tour operators who already offer a scheduled roster of group trips. It could be biking in Tuscany, walking in Provence or spending a week snorkeling and whale watching in the Sea of Cortez. Or perhaps a summer trip rafting in the West or exploring the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland? Private adventure trips have been around for decades, but the pandemic has made them a hot commodity. Many adventure travel companies now offer a large number of private departures, with dedicated trip planners to help you plan. Working with an established tour company offers one-stop-shopping. They have the trip designers, guides, and a guest services team. If it’s a bike trip, they have the support vehicles.
