Adventure World offers a wide range of adventures where outdoor activity is the focus. 

• In South America, Patagonia and Peru are standouts, with trekking itineraries such as Experience El Chaltén, Explora El Chaltén, and the iconic Inca Trail Trek, leading you through dramatic mountain landscapes, glaciers, and ancient trails. 
• In Africa, itineraries such as Gorillas Through the Mist and Roaming Rwanda offer active safari and trekking experiences, combining wildlife encounters with physical adventure in challenging yet rewarding natural landscapes. 
• In North America, enjoy hiking, canoeing, and cycling in Canada with Ontario’s Heartland and Authentic Newfoundland, or paddle through glaciers and fjords on the Alaska Fjords & Glaciers itinerary, where kayaking is a central active element. 
• In Asia, Authentic Borneo offers jungle trekking, wildlife spotting, and cultural engagement, providing families with immersive, activity-driven adventures in tropical rainforest environments. 
• Finally in the Nordics, our Best of Lapland delivers unique active experiences with snow-based adventures such as a husky safari, snowshoe hiking in the forest and searching for the Aurora Borealis on snowmobiles.  

For any active winter or cold-weather holiday, packing the right gear is crucial. Essentials include: 

• Warm layers: Base layers, fleece, and insulated jackets to regulate body temperature during long hikes, glacier treks, or snowy landscapes. This is essential for itineraries like Experience El Chaltén in Patagonia or Explora El Chaltén. 

• Waterproof gear: High-quality rain jackets and pants for unpredictable mountain or rainforest weather, suitable for Authentic Borneo or glacier trekking on Alaska Fjords & Glaciers. 

• Sturdy boots: Hiking boots with good traction for snow, ice, or rough terrain, ideal for Patagonia, Peru, or Canadian wilderness itineraries like Ontario’s Heartland. 

• Accessories: Gloves, beanie, scarf, and thermal socks to protect extremities during long outdoor days in cold climates such as Patagonia or the Nordics. 

• On-the-go items: Snacks, a thermos for hot drinks, and hydration packs to stay fuelled and hydrated while trekking in Inca Trail Trek or glacier kayaking on Alaska Fjords & Glaciers. 

• Navigation tools: Maps, GPS, or a compass for active hiking and trekking itineraries in remote regions like Patagonia or Rwanda (Roaming Rwanda). 

• Emergency supplies: First aid kit, firestarter kit, and basic repair tools for equipment, are particularly important on physically demanding itineraries such as Gorillas Through the Mist. 

Active itineraries are designed to engage travellers physically, but difficulty levels vary depending on the destination and itinerary. 

• For moderate to challenging trekking, Patagonia’s Experience El Chaltén and Explora El Chaltén require a good level of fitness to tackle long hikes and uneven terrain. 

• Inca Trail Trek is physically demanding, with high-altitude sections, so preparation and stamina are essential. 

• Wildlife-focused treks, such as Gorillas Through the Mist or Roaming Rwanda, require endurance for long rainforest walks and steep trails. 

• Family-friendly active itineraries, like Bright Lights and Nature’s Delights, or Canada’s Ontario’s Heartland, balance walking and light hikes with cultural and nature-based activities, suitable for a wide range of fitness levels. 

Because intensity varies, it’s always recommended to check with a travel agent or Adventure World Destination Expert before booking to ensure the itinerary matches your fitness level.
