the amazing things you'll be doing
If you want it all, and can't choose between hiking, horseback riding, kayaking or biking adventures, why not get a little of everything? Join an exciting multi-activity adventure in Sweden this summer! Hike through enchanted forests, kayak to remote islands, bike along picturesque country roads, and ride horses to scenic overlooks. Choose from a more adventurous journey with wilderness camping, or a more comfortable option with accommodations in a quaint farm house.
Departs May-Sep, from US $923 - US $1385 (4-6 days) ex flights
The experience is in focus on this multi-activity adventure in southern Sweden's Highlands. Travel on land and water with different modes of transportation in order to get close to nature. Spend a day or two on foot hiking along lovely trails through the enchanting forest. With some luck you may find both berries and mushrooms, and maybe even spot wildlife. Then take a guided bike ride through the through historic surroundings with fantastic natural scenery. Enjoy lunches at favorite spots each day and return to your comfortable beds at the farm every evening for dinners and overnight.
If you want to add an additional day to your adventure you can enjoy a canoeing trip down the cold flowing waters of Stångån creek, passing several cultural sights and enjoying a sense of wilderness.
Is it for me? This trip is rated intermediate. You don't need any prior experience in any of the activities, but you should have good swimming skills (you should be able to swim at least 50 meters) and be in reasonably good shape. You should also enjoy fresh air and exercising in the outdoors. The group is split up during the horseback ride to accommodate different levels of ability. You will be outside and active between 4-6 hours each day.

how this holiday makes a difference

We promote sustainable travels that benefit the local regions we visit, by making the following efforts:

Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
