Adventure & Great Outdoors
The ‘fly and flop’ holiday is still very much alive, but there’s an increasing trend towards the requirement for doing something active on a holiday.
Original Travel would like to think it was an expert in this field and the holidays suggested under this heading are destinations with activities ranging from the relatively sedate such as trekking, through to the more hardcore such as ski-touring the Haute Route in the Alps or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. For anyone wanting to feel a sense of achievement, these are the holidays for you.
Try one of these trips, and you’ll feel you’ve really achieved something.
