What to expect on an activity holiday is the focus of this installment of our guide to activity holidays.
Activity holidays are popular vacation types where you spend a certain amount of time, ranging from several days to numerous weeks or months, either in your own country or elsewhere, taking part in one or more activities. Though 'normal' holidays contain activities in which you choose to participate in, activity holidays are different in the simple fact that the activities or activity is the focus point and not in addition to your holiday.
Usually they cost more than "regular" vacations, but not always. Organizing your own trip is possible and can save hundreds of dollars but can be difficult if you need to adhere to a tight schedule or if you don't know the local language. Also, by using a reputable company to book your active holiday, you will be able to rest assured that safety (which is increased with these such types of trips) will be of their up most concern as their company reputation depends upon.
These types of holidays can normally be found as packages which are all-inclusive, meaning food lodging as well as instruction received from the guide or instructor are included in the price listed on the brochure or website. Sometimes insurance and transportation is also included, so make sure you ask and get confirmation in writing as to exactly what's included or not.
The vast majority of trips are adult group holidays but trips that cater for family and children are also available. The group sizes tend to be small, with an average of just 10-15 people, but it varies with the type of activity you're doing. A smaller group means a more enjoyable experience, because your guide can give you more attention and you'll spend less time waiting.
Rather than picking your destination first, you should choose what kind of activity or activities you'd like to take part in, and then see where they're offered. Reason being is that you will most likely spend most of your time participating in the activities rather that exploring the destination you have choose.
