Active Vacations & Multisport Trips
If you think fitness is important for you and your family, an active
vacation might sound appealing. It's a chance to do activities you
already enjoy and maybe try something new. What's an Active Vacation?
Lots of vacations are active, but specifically planning an active
vacation means you're looking for an extra measure of physical
activity. Instead of only going to the beach, for example, you might
choose a trip that offers biking, walking, hiking, rafting,
snorkelling – you name it! Going on a luxury vacation and minimizing the
environmental footprint at the same time is challenging, but possible!
GO GREEN by using you own power:
on a touring bike or by foot. Redefine the meaning of " culturing"
by closely exploring different cultures, landscapes and cuisines
without cutting back on luxury and well deserved amenities. Tell us
your preferences: destination, activity, fitness level, single,
couple, family trip. We have many choices for you with beautiful
options during a trip. LUXURY OUTDOOR ADVENTURE VACATION has partnered
with a leading provider of active vacations and multisport trips
providing us with the finest selection of Nature-friendly travel
experiences.
Insider Trips are less on physical activity and even more on
explorations of culture and natural history.

Rover always available for intimate close-ups of spectacular wildlife.
Unlike many African trips, each day features multiple activity
options. Private chartered flights provide access to a wide diversity

the Cape of Good Hope, then bike on the Cape Peninsula, past rare
mountain zebras, breaching whales and unique flora. Explore the
Cederberg Mountains, famed for their ancient Bushman rock art.
Experience an unforgettable mountain biking safari in Botswana’s
Mashatu Game Reserve. In the Drakensburg Mountains, hike along the
edges of the Great Escarpment and safari on foot or in open-topped
Land Rovers at one of the world’s finest game reserves—Londolozi.

China Biking: Beijing, Xian and the Southern Province
11 days - The history, culture and scenic riches of China have long
intrigued the Western world, enticing travelers with its grand
monuments, serene countryside and centuries-old traditions. On this
biking adventure, you’ll see many different faces of this vast and
fascinating country. A visit to southern China reveals a compelling —
and often contradictory — tableau as you ride past the rice paddies,
pagodas and bustling villages that exist in the midst of dynamic
modern development. Then head to regal and contemporary Xian and
marvel at the 2,000-year-old terra-cotta warriors. And, in newly
cosmopolitan Beijing, explore the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and the
Forbidden City. Departures 2009 & 2010.

Costa Rica Multisport: Walking, Biking, Rafting
6 days - Along the Sunny Pacific Coast. With nearly one-third of its
land protected in parks and preserves, Costa Rica is a paradise for
lovers of wildlife and fun-filled adventure. Escape to a place where
white-faced monkeys enliven the jungle canopy while blue morpho
butterflies color the sky. Warm ocean waves lap sandy shores, and
rivers wind through lush rain forests. Leaving the capital city
behind, you fly to Manuel Antonio on the Pacific Coast, where jungle
hikes, mountain biking and Class II–III rafting await. You then
journey to a remote peninsula that provides the perfect setting for
more activities — or for simply lounging by the swimming pool.
Action-packed days are complimented by nights of pure relaxation at
tastefully appointed tropical retreats.

Indochina Insider: Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos
11 days - Indochina's beauty exists not only in the stunning Khmer
carvings at Angkor Wat, but also in the smiles of monks at a Lao
village, in the sight of Vietnamese fishermen paddling on the South
China Sea, and in an encounter with giggling school kids at a
centuries-old pagoda. Slow your pace to match the richness and
diversity of your surroundings. With our team of extraordinary local
experts (from a Buddhist monk to an art historian), we bring to life
the intertwined cultures of Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, as well as the
traditions, landscapes, political histories, languages and lifestyle
that make each country unique. You’ll delve into Indochina’s
fascinating cultural roots, as well as its wildly dynamic – and
equally intriguing – modern culture. You for sure will enjoy the most
beautiful hotels selected - classical elegance and excellence.
Insider Trips are less on physical activity and even more on
explorations of culture and natural history.
