Hiking & Walking in 7-10 days

Hiking and walking tours are a great way to experience a country on a more personal and insightful level. By exploring the destination mostly on foot, you can get a more in depth understanding of its culture, nature, and history. In order to get a well-rounded hiking and walking itinerary, it is best to break it down into certain key aspects. 

See All Hiking and Walking Tours

Daily Hiking and Walking Itinerary

This is a generalized itinerary based off what most tours offer. The daily itinerary includes how each tour spends its time. The next aspect is where the most popular hiking and walking tours are offered. It also notes how each location differentiates its itineraries from others. And the last aspect includes the duration spent on each tour. 

Morning

Mornings comprise of getting ready, eating breakfast, and getting familiarized with the daily activity ahead. Your tour guide will most likely go over attire, weather, mileage, equipment and estimated completion time. This is also when you can ask additional questions about the activity before heading out.

Afternoon

Most hikes and walks begin between the late morning or early afternoon. Depending on the travel destination, the hike or walk either highlights the location’s natural scenery or cultural significance. It should be noted, however, that most tours try their best to include both.

Evening

The evenings are usually set aside for leisure time. Some tours provide dinner. If local cafes or restaurants are accessible, then you can also eat there. If you are camping, however, then dinner will most likely be made at the camp. The rest of the time can be spent exploring, reflecting, and resting.

Rome, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast
I had an amazing experience on this trip! Our guide was very attentive and wanted to make sure we were all having a good time and were aware of the upcoming plans. I had a small hiccup arriving at the airport, but it was immediately remedied by the 24 hour duty manager. She was fantastic! The people in my group were so lovely and I made some fast friendships that will last! I can't wait for my next trip!

Volcanoes and Galapagos
fantastic time was had by all. We were lucky that we had a very small group, in next to no time we were all friends
Diego our Tour Manager was brilliant. Very helpful and caring. Even arranged a few extras not on the itinerary, such as a visit to a rose farm. and an early morning bird watch in the cloud forest. He was very knowledgeable on the birds and animals too
The itinerary was very full. Its says a moderately paced trip but I think it was full on. Up every morning early and on the road to the next interesting thing. Full days and evenings. Hardly any time for sleep
Highlights were the animals and birds and snorkeling with sharks, turtles, wrays, penguins and sea lions on the Galapagos. The Cloud forest was full of wonderful birds and we could get quite close too. Great for photos
Food was excellent everywhere and the people very friendly
Only downside was that not all the hotels were great. Very basic with things like the water not running properly and the bathroom was very slippy in a couple with no non slip mats to be put down. Some of the hand rails were not very secure.
The first week of our stay was the Amazon extension which I would also recommend. The guides were very good and the Napo Centre itself was good too. Nice room and a large room with bar and restaurant, also areas for playing videos and other lecture type things. Food also very good
Great trip would definitely recommend it and Ecuador is a lovely country

Highlights of Japan by Explore!
Highlights of Japan
OK only downside I will say I don't feel I had enough time in Tokyo due to some people missing there fights and losing very important tickets for travelling which explore leader had to sort out. The itinerary needs to be updated ie mentioning catching bullet train to airport which few people had issues with but I think is actually easier

Cycle Portugal - Lisbon to Algarve
This was our third trip with explorer. In this itinerary, only one of the seven different hotels was marginal and it was just in the beginning. As usual, the tour and the tour leader were perfect.

Highlights of Morocco by Explore!
Highlights of Morocco
this trip was described as full on in the itinerary, and it was. we covered a lot of miles, there is a couple of long bus journeys - but the guide was excellent and split the journey every couple of hours with a some interesting stops. we learnt so much about Morocco on this trip, we ate local food and met local people. it really was an explore holiday. if you want to get under the skin of a country this is the trip for you

Sri Lanka in Depth
We have used Explore many times and have always found them excellent. Our In Depth Tour of Sri Lanka can only be described as amazing. We saw so much of this beautiful country. Please also note that our tour leader Sujth Rathmayaka was outstanding. A very kind and thoughtful man that looked after the whole group, proving us with comprehensive and interesting information on everywhere we visited.
