Adventure Travel

Following on from the adventures of Abbey Clancy and her mum and Will Mellor and his dad, it's the turn of celebrity father and son duo Larry and George Lamb to experience their very own 'Parent Trip'.

We can exclusively reveal our involvement in a brand new series for ITV2 ‘The Parent Trip’. We were approached by the Specialist Factual & Arts Dept at ITV studios, who chose us for our local knowledge and expertise in providing authentic and life changing travel experiences.

Industry trends indicate that people are looking for holidays that offer unique experiences and personal service, but how can you find this on the Nile which is a Mecca for large cruise ships carrying hundreds of tourists? There are surprisingly few small riverboats cruising the Nile – but the M/S Doma is one of them and is chartered exclusively for Explore customers.

There are so many amazing places for walking and trekking holidays all across the world it can be difficult to choose where to go! But, whether you're an experienced walker or if you've just purchased your first pair of walking boots, there are some walks which are simply 'must-do'. Our Product Managers have chosen their ten favourite walks and treks worldwide - how many have you done? And, more importantly, which one will you try next?

You don't have to go far afield for a great walking holiday. Whether you want to stroll through beautiful scenery or trek across snow-capped mountain ranges, Europe's diverse landscapes have it all! Here's just a few of our favourites.

Explore has announced its newest offering: an alternative city tour of Lima. Whereas every other tour of the Peruvian capital almost entirely stays ‘downtown’, this new excursion – the brain child of local Explore tour leader Nilton Bedrinana – is designed to avoid the tourist hordes.

Explore are the only company offering you the chance to discover the Top 10 Emerging Destinations as determined by the 2010 Wanderlust Travel Awards. This is great testament to our variety of destinations and our pioneering spirit.

Here at Explore we came up with the idea of launching a new 7 wonders list that is all about great travel experiences, how we enjoy places and experiences rather than just the sites themselves.

There’s a Swedish proverb that says ‘Those who wish to sing, always find a song.’ But when there are so many songs to choose from, it can sometimes be hard to find exactly the one that suits. We have over 500 tours on this website and appreciate you might need a guiding hand.

Tourism Concern campaigns to ensure that ‘tourism benefits the local people’ all over the world and gives a voice to small communities who might not otherwise be heard. Explore has supported this organisation on a variety of initiatives and admires the work they have done in raising awareness on many issues such as porters rights in the Himalayas, on the Inca Trail in Peru and at Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.
