Solo walking holidays

Walking and trekking provide a wonderful way to uncover new places. Join like-minded travellers on our small group adventures designed especially for solo explorers. Explore’s walking trips blend social time with ample time for independent travel so you get the balance you need.

 

Small group walking holidays for singles

From gentle coastal strolls to once-in-a-lifetime mountain treks, our group walking trips are a fantastic choice for single travellers. You’ll be in great company too, with guests from all over the world uniting around a shared passion for travel and discovery.
 
With an average group size of just 11, around half travelling solo, you’ll enjoy the benefits of companionship and safety without losing the freedom of travelling independently. Our small group trips are graded from Easy to Challenging so you can choose the pace that suits you and with expert tour leaders handling the details, you can simply focus on the journey.
 

Explore your chosen destination at your own pace. Our walking and trekking holidays are graded from Easy to Challenging. Plus, our expert tour leaders will help you get to the heart of your destination and take away all the hassle of route planning.

Walking, hiking & trekking for singles

Whether it’s a relaxed walk along a dramatic coastline or a challenging ascent of one of the world’s great peaks, our guided treks give solo travellers a safe and rewarding way to travel. With every detail taken care of by your leader, all you’ll need are your walking boots.
 

Our trips are among our most popular adventure holidays. For example, the best-selling Amalfi Coast Walking holiday takes you along Italy’s famous “Walk of the Gods”, with plenty of time to enjoy delicious food and wine along the way.
 

For something more challenging, our highly rated Toubkal Climb in Morocco leads you through stunning scenery to Jebel Toubkal, North Africa’s highest mountain at 4,167m, with unforgettable views across the Atlas range.


Travel solo, but never alone


What makes our walking and trekking holidays such a great fit for solo travellers is the balance: you’ll enjoy the authenticity of travelling independently while sharing the experience with others. Groups are made up of couples, friends and fellow solo adventurers so there’s always someone interesting to meet.

Your holiday price covers accommodation, activities and transport, with many meals included. Flights can also be arranged if you wish. With your itinerary carefully planned, you’re free to relax and make the most of your time away. You’ll also have space in the schedule for personal downtime — whether you use it to explore further or simply unwind is entirely up to you.

If you have questions about any of our solo-friendly walking holidays, our team of travel experts is here to help plan your perfect adventure.
