Adventure doesn't have to mean climbing mountains or pushing yourself to your limits.
It could mean watching elephants from a safari lodge in Botswana, sailing through the Corinth Canal, or taking a road trip around Iceland before relaxing at a geothermal spa.
For others, adventure might mean visiting somewhere completely different, celebrating your honeymoon in a place you'd never normally consider, or setting sail on an expedition cruise to one of the world's remotest regions.
At Mapping Your Travel, we create tailor-made adventure holidays around the experiences you want to have, whether that's exploring at your own pace or heading truly off the beaten track.
Adventure can mean gentle hiking, kayaking, wildlife encounters, scenic rail journeys, self-drive road trips or exploring somewhere on foot with a local guide.
It’s about getting closer to a destination and experiencing more of it, while still enjoying comfortable places to stay and time to relax.
We’ll build the level of activity around you, so your holiday feels just right for the way you like to travel.

Wildlife holidays are about more than simply seeing animals. They give you the chance to experience wildlife in its natural environment, explore remarkable landscapes and learn from expert guides who understand the places you're visiting.
We can combine wildlife experiences with comfortable lodges, small ships and other parts of your journey, with itineraries designed around the wildlife and landscapes you most want to experience.

Your adventure can be built around one big challenge or combined with a longer tailor-made journey, with time to explore and relax along the way.
Family holidays don't have to follow the usual formula. Explore somewhere new, experience wildlife, discover different cultures or take to the open road, with an itinerary designed to keep both children and adults interested.
