Solo holidays for over 50s & 60s: Activities
Each itinerary for our over 50s and over 60s solo holidays has been carefully considered. Each has been designed to fully immerse you in the culture and spirit of your destination country, while allowing you to enjoy your surroundings at a pace that suits you through the activities you love most.
Regardless of age or interest, our selection of solo holidays offer something for everyone.
Walking holidays for the over 50s and 60s
What better way to enjoy your solo holiday than on foot? We cater to all activity levels and all of our trips feature a clear walking grade to illustrate the difficulty of the route. Enjoy the best of both worlds with our leisurely walking tours for over 50s, such as our best-selling Amalfi Coast Walking trip which is peppered with regular opportunities to savour the delicious local cuisine and wine. Or, choose our Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on Foot trip to discover a wealth of cultural heritage as you explore UNESCO Heritage Sites and even gain a new skill: bog walking.
For for something a little more challenging, why not tackle our Walking in the Rockies trip, which takes you through the very best Canadian landscapes and offers breathtaking, panoramic views?
Cycling holidays for the over 50s and 60s
If you'd prefer to adventure on two wheels, we offer a range of solo cycling holidays for over 50s to help you see the most of your chosen destination. Like with our walking holidays, you can choose the pace that's right for you. Challenge yourself to our Cycle the Dalmatian Coast trip, and take on moderate terrain as you travel from Split to Dubrovnik enjoying picturesque countryside, ancient cities and beautiful fishing villages, or push yourself with our Southern Oasis Cycling tour; the perfect way to explore Morocco's Draa Valley.
We also offer easier cycling routes for those who prefer a breezier ride. Cycle against the backdrop of the Beskid Mountains with our Pedalling in Poland trip, or enjoy the best of rural India with our Backroads of Kerala tour.
Advice for mature single travellers over 50 and 60
Solo holidays for the over 50s and 60s are a great option if you want to spend some time doing your own thing outside of your typical couple or family holidays - perfect if there's a destination you've always wanted to visit.
To ensure your solo travel is as enjoyable as possible, it's important that you choose the right trip for you. Choose your holiday based on your preferred levels of activity, keeping in mind your usual activity levels to ensure you're not pushing yourself too much. You may also want to consider the climate of the country you're visiting, as extreme heat or cold may make maintaining activity levels more difficult.
Before you book, you should also check the accessibility of your destination. For example, a hilly terrain may be overly challenging if you have mobility issues. If you'd like further information about the accessibility of your chosen tour, the Explore team are on hand to help.
If you need medication, remember to pack enough for the duration of your trip. Keeping them in their original packaging will make it easier to go through customs and it's wise to write down the name of your medication, so you can get more should you run out while you're away.
Before you travel, let loved ones know what your itinerary is and give them a copy of your essential travel details, such as passport number and insurance details as well as a record of the local emergency numbers in the country you're travelling in, so that you can still connect with those back home if needed.
