Adventure
travel usually conjures up images of rafts over
waterfalls, climbers leaning on their axes, hikers
trekking through impenetrable virgin jungles, surrounded
by all the possible local fauna specimen. But adventure travel is also for
those seeking a different way to learn, explore and see
with their very own eyes fast disappearing remote areas
of the world.
It is a way to discover the world as it
was, pristine and incommensurably beautiful. Somewhere the
sheer pleasure of discovering new countries, the
exhilaration of meeting new friends, the joy of learning
has dimmed or even disappeared as this type of travel
has been portrayed as demanding and only for the very
young! We offer many individual adventure
discoveries in the world for every age group as long as young at heart!
To emphasize our eco-friendly approach even more, we
have elected to operate many group programs with
G.A.P. Adventures, a leader in eco tourism operation, committed
to offering low-impact tours that benefit traveler and host alike,
working with local communities, businesses and individuals to develop
sustainable tourism opportunities that help local economies while
minimizing negative environmental and cultural impacts. These adventures
offer travelers a grassroots, small group adventure vacation, with a
focus on culture, nature and active travel. From trekking the
Andes to skiing the Alps, from white-water rafting in Costa Rica to
bicycling through Europe. Vantage Adventures offers a variety of outdoor
oriented, small group or individual, hiking, skiing, white-water
rafting, canoeing, canopying, horse-back riding, trekking and cycling
guided trips around the world.
Small international groups, excellent
guides, delicious local cuisine, varied and interesting transportation,
special destinations and charming local accommodation, all come together
to create an authentic adventure experience. We now offer a variety of
