Travelling Solo? Ideas for Single Travellers

Explore small group adventure holidays are ideal for single travellers, as they allow you to meet and travel with other like-minded people. They are also extremely flexible, and allow plenty of free time for personal exploration. Travelling in a small group is also much safer then travelling alone - the additional security of travelling with an organised group with a tour leader should not be under-estimated.

There are three options for Solo travellers

1) Book any regular Explore trip and expect it to be roughly half solo travellers and half couples and friends travelling together.
2) Book a solo traveller departure: a regular tour where certain departures have been reserved for solo travellers (look for the ‘S’ on the dates & prices page)
3) Choose a Solo traveller tour where the itinerary and activities have been planned especially for solo travellers, with single rooms included in the price..
