Tour Operator
Rug & Rock is an exciting company founded by and for enthusiastic travellers from a variety of different backgrounds. We have many years experience of adventure travel, mountaineering and sport and most of us have also taken part in social projects overseas, especially in Morocco.
Our people love sport and nature, rock climbing, kayaking, hiking and trekking through the most remote places and exploring the unexplored. During this time we have been lucky enough to share experiences with local communities, and to respectfully participate in their everyday lives.
It was here we first experienced the value of sustainable small-group travelling, as opposed to traditional holidays, as a tool for transformation and development. We discovered how communities not only welcome visitors into their homes and their lives but also feel proud and delighted to share their landscapes, their culture and their crafts in what we coined as an exchange of admiration, a phenomenon we believe can reshape the way we approach travelling.
We wanted to share this feeling and from these personal experiences, Rug & Rock Adventures was born.
We hope you join us on our adventure holidays and enjoy them as much as we enjoy curating them and working here.
We would love to hear from you, so if you have any question or comment get in touch!
