Struggling for inspiration? We can help you refine your adventure vacation, making it suitable for adults, families, couples and more. Whether you want a trip within Europe or to venture further afield, we can provide a customized getaway that'll meet all your expectations. You just have to focus on ticking off those all-important bucket list activities and destinations.
Adventure Vacations in Europe
Europe is a hugely diverse continent, with towering peaks, imposing glaciers, and vast bodies of water coexisting alongside rich history and cultural institutions.
Adventure vacations in Europe promise a wide array of experiences. You can go glacier hiking, ice caving, and snowmobiling in Iceland if you want to embrace a winter climate or choose a cycling vacation around the picture-perfect fjords of Flåm Valley in Norway. Elsewhere, in Portugal, you can explore rural landscapes on horseback or surf the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Alternatively, hike through the serene Alpe di Siusi, venture across a vast scree slope to the foot of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, or tackle the 'iron paths' to follow the WW1 military routes high into the Dolomites – all in Italy.
Adventure Vacations Outside of Europe
Wildlife and adventure go hand in hand, and you can experience the best of both with an all-out luxury adventure vacation with us. Venture out on safari in Kenya and Botswana or search for snow leopards in the Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh in India.
If you're keen to embrace adventure activities, South America has plenty to offer. Go white-water rafting along the Trancura River in Chile, embark on an ice trek to explore the Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina or hike to Machu Picchu on the Inca Trail in Peru.
Alternatively, the polar regions are home to awe-inspiring wildlife in an icy wonderland that few adventurers have ever set foot in before.
Adventure Vacations for Adults
Our adventure vacations for adults are designed to help you truly switch off and push yourself with incredible destinations and activities. Whether you're looking to escape on a skiing break or a trek lasting several days, there are countless adventures to be had.
Take on exclusive expeditions like walking safaris through Zambia's Luangwa Valley or discover remote villages in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. To integrate a spot of air travel, you might consider heli-hiking in New Zealand's South Island or paragliding in Zighy Bay in Oman.
For anyone wanting to explore beneath the water, you can dive among coral reefs in Indonesia or kayak in the vibrant blue waters beside glaciers in Canada.
Adventure Holidays for Couples
We understand that every romantic getaway will look a little different. But for those seeking out unique adventure vacations for couples, there are endless options.
A two-week adventure in Malaysia and Borneo will see you uncovering tropical marine underworlds and exploring lush jungles in between romantic strolls on the beach.
Another option is a ski safari through the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in northern Italy. Designed to help you experience the slopes in a whole new way, it's a natural adventure vacation choice for couples wanting to remain active while exploring a cooler climate.
If you're searching specifically for adventure honeymoons, let our team know so that your itinerary contains everything you need to make it an unforgettable trip.
Adventure Vacations for Families
The beauty of Scott Dunn is that any itinerary can be made unique to you. While there are certain adventure vacations suitable for adults only, we're delighted to offer a wide array of family-friendly adventure vacations with comfortable accommodation and epic experiences that everyone can enjoy.
Our family-friendly safaris include everything from Junior Ranger programs to educational game drives to keep the little ones happy. Meanwhile, children can experience cruising down the Nile in Egypt, snorkelling with marine life in Costa Rica, or spotting elephants at Sri Lanka's Yala National Park.
It doesn't have to be only young children who benefit – we can also tailor our family-friendly adventure vacations to suit older children, grandparents, and more. Enjoy a multi-generational vacation that opens up an array of experiences for everyone.
