We believe there is no better way to travel than in a small group of like-minded individuals from around the world.
We maintain a limit of 13 passengers on most of our tours - providing the security of group travel and the flexibility of independent discovery.

Trek offers active holidays! Wilderness hiking, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, sea kayaking, canoe trips, mountain biking, swamp tours and so much more... All levels of adventure are available. From softer adventures which mix cities, small villages and National Parks to higher levels of adventure in Alaska & Mexico. Many of our itineraries are ideal for first time visitors to North America, while others have been designed with the return visitor in mind. That's why many "Trekkers" keep travelling with us again and again!

Trek has made it easy. We supply everything needed to make camping holidays comfortable and fun! We provide all the necessary camping equipment including tents, cold food storage containers, camp lights, stoves and other camp accessories. Our high quality tents are very easy to set up and take down on your own. We camp two in each spacious tent, which leaves more than enough room for your luggage. Home sweet home! Bring your own sleeping bag - we recommend a 'three season' bag during the summer months and a 'four season' bag the rest of the year, as some nights can be cool to cold, especially in mountainous areas.
Many campgrounds are situated in stunning settings giving our groups opportunities not found by conventional tourists. When we camp near major city destinations, nearly all the campgrounds have full facilities such as showers, pools, shops, and laundromats. Virtually all National Park campgrounds have pay showers, flush toilets and basic facilities. Occasionally, our groups will choose to stay in more isolated areas or 'bush camps' where the surroundings will quickly make you forget any lack of facilities. We supply a thermal pad to sleep on, but if you prefer added comfort, you are encouraged to bring your own self-inflating sleeping pad.

Some tour companies' idea of offering you a great 'deal' is a tour of virtually all one night stops at every destination, with no time to really see them.
We know from experience that it is important to pace a tour, to guarantee that you see and do more, without having to run madly from one night stop to the next. Our two and three night stops allow you to take advantage of all of the numerous options available to you wherever you travel, making optimum use of your holiday time.

On each tour there are numerous activities and attractions from which to choose. Some of the more prominent ones for every trip are listed under the 'Optional Activities' section on each trip's page. These options are not included in the holiday price because not every passenger wants to participate in each activity. Our leaders know where to get the best group rates available for various attractions and activities. This way each member of the group can choose exactly what they want to do according to their own taste and budget.

Trek Tour Leaders are a special breed! They have contributed more to our success than any other part of our programme. The tour leader and the group work as a team and are jointly responsible for arranging everything en route - to suit the group and the individual. We provide the right kind of person to handle the multitude of needs that arise throughout any tour. We are very critical in our choice of people; we employ men and women from many professional backgrounds, who lead active lifestyles themselves.

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, because operational conditions and passenger requests vary with each departure, no two trips will ever follow the exact same route.
With the help of your Trek leader, you and your fellow Trekkers may modify certain suggested night stops and highlights, although your Trek Leader must have the last word.
