Winter Holidays
Thought winter breaks were all about soaking up the sun in a hotspot such as Tenerife?
Think again - winter activity holidays are the coolest way to make the most of the chilliest months amidst some of the world's most spectacular scenery.
From adventures in Egypt to treks in the snowy Himalayas, The Adventure Company has got everything covered to ensure that your winters are not wasted on a sun lounger.
The type of experiences you are likely to enjoy on a winter activity holiday will largely depend on where you decide to go. As you would expect, the closer to home you stay, the colder the temperatures are likely to be. For example, dog sledding and skiing breaks are available in the Tatra mountains of Slovakia and Poland, while Finland is a true winter wonderland with its snowmobile safaris.
Similar adventures are available in Bulgaria, Sweden and Andorra, while those who take their winter activity holidays in Iceland go whale watching and visit its geysers and glaciers.
Go a little further afield and the variety of adventures expands, with the Himalayas in Nepal offering the chance for trekking breaks and India playing host to some truly wondrous safari trips. Those who opt to go to African safari holidays on their winter activity holidays will benefit from warmer temperatures and opportunities to explore Tanzania's Kilimanjaro or Kenya and Namibia's wildlife parks. In the north of the continent, winter activity breaks focus on Egypt's Giza and the pyramids or Morocco's Toubkal mountain. Meanwhile, those who head to Latin America for their winter activity breaks can enter a whole world of discovery, whether trekking the Inca Trail in Peru, exploring Cuba's past and present or going on a cruise around the Galapagos islands.
With so much out there to see and do, you will never be stuck for things to do on a winter activity holiday.
