ActiveTrips makes it easier and more exciting than ever to get in touch with the great outdoors!  Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, canoeing, ocean kayaking, or just exploring nature, we combine multiple activity options with beautiful and breathtaking locales, creating guided trips that you and your group will remember for a lifetime.

We hand select each trip location and activity, creatively assembling a variety of experiences and environments that will refresh and challenge you.  We're not travel agents.  We're travel experience coordinators.

Most of our trips offer two activity "tracks", making them ideal for groups or couples who don't have identical liking for the more strenuous outdoor activities.  By day three, some will want a day to rest or enjoy sight-seeing at a relaxed pace, while others are chomping at the bit for some "real" hiking.  We divide into two groups, with fun activities to satisfy each.

These are trips that can't be assembled by reading through travel books.  Each trip includes several "off the beaten path" activities, and the knowledge and experience of our guides insures you see the best each destination has to offer.

A recent trip to Hawaii included 2 hikes to little known areas, one with a hand-drawn map provided by a woman at a tiny hotel nearby.  Our trips always provide a bit of adventure, while never compromising safety.  If you're looking for the old Hawaii, of tiny towns, pristine waterfalls, dolphins and whales resting in small bays, flowing lava, and rain forests, an ActiveTrip is for you.

We strive to show you the REAL people, food, customs, history, culture, and natural beauty of the places we experience.  When we visit Mesa Verde National Park, we tour the well-known cliff dwellings, and we also trek to some less visited sites.  Past talks with park rangers and local people have led us to wonderful places that most visitors miss.

Accommodations in unique and beautiful settings, such as lodges, private rental homes, B&B's, small historic hotels, or amazingly luxurious tent camps add to the vacation experience.

Great meals, companionship of others who love the outdoors, perhaps a challenging activity or two, and plenty of time to rest and soak up the peace of nature will insure that you go home refreshed and renewed.
