Sports And Adventure
Adventure holidays are built around an activity, whether surfing, cycling, horse riding or motorcycling. Booking through a specialist gets you equipment, guides and routes chosen for the sport, and puts you with people at a similar level.
Before booking, be honest about your ability and fitness, and check the level each trip is designed for. Look at the group size, the guides' qualifications, what equipment is provided, what accommodation and meals are included and whether the schedule has rest days. Make sure your travel insurance covers the activity, because some standard policies exclude activities such as motorcycling or riding, or cover them only for an extra premium; see Insurance.
For surfing, Book Surf Camps compares surf camps and holidays worldwide for every level, from first lessons to advanced trips. Dreamsea runs its own surf camps in nature-rich locations, and Nica Surf focuses on surfing in Nicaragua.
For riders, Book Horse Riding Holidays lists equestrian holidays for all abilities. On two wheels, Bicycle Adventures runs guided cycling tours, and MotoDiscovery organises motorcycle tours around the world.
