GO ACTIVE - 6 Ways to Travel with Backroads

Active travel is, at its heart, a way of connecting more authentically with the world. These are experiences you cannot have behind the wheel of a car, or on a train or a bus, or in a few excursions from a ship or a resort. Immerse yourself in the life of a region, explore hidden corners and appreciate nuances while enjoying the benefits and enormous satisfaction of traveling under your own power.

Traveling actively is all about embracing what life has to offer, living the experience as it unfolds and at the same time creating memories that will last forever.

Biking - Nothing matches the total immersion of exploring on two wheels on a Biking Trip. Set your own pace, covering as many (or as few) miles as you wish, changing plans to fit your mood.

Walking & Hiking Trips - From rain forest paths to alpine meadows to medieval cobbled streets, discovering a place on foot is both intriguing and invigorating.

Multisport Adventures - Let Backroads take you on the perfectly balanced vacations with just the right amount of biking, hiking, white-water rafting and so much more. No matter where you want to go.
