The Top Guided Hiking Trips for Couples in 2023
Show-stopping scenery and cut-above cultural experiences come together on these two-footed Epic Trips.
Some people might think floating along a Venetian canal on a gondola is romantic. But the shared challenges, triumphs and fitness goals on these wholesome hiking trips for couples is a sure-fire way to bring you closer. Hit-the-mark landscapes come as standard on these trips set in away-from-it-all locations, beneath star-stitched skies, where you can reconnect with each other and a small group of like-minded nature lovers, led by an expert guide. Lace up your hiking boots and reignite your love of the great outdoors with these tread-lightly trails, taking you from the Andes to the Amazon and beyond.
Andes to the Amazon: the Essence of Ecuador
After eight days of immersion in Ecuador, you’ll love the compact South American country as much as you do each other. From cooking regional feasts in Quito, you’ll move on to canter through Cotopaxi National Park before hiking around the glacial Limpiopungo Lagoon and the turquoise-tinted Quilotoa crater lake. Ditch the boots for a refreshing white-water raft in the jungle, then it’s back to a healthy hike to learn how essential oils are extracted from Amazonian plants to make medicinal remedies. Soporific spa treatments and hot springs are on standby for end-of-trip R&R.

Riches and Ruins: Wine, Dine and Step Back in Time in Rural Georgia
You’ll be telling your friends about this unforgettable nine-day couples’ hiking trip for years to come. Keep your camera handy as you hike through Georgia’s remote Lagodekhi National Park, home to beech forest and wildflower meadows, past an alpine lake in the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains. Get those calves working on the three-hour hike up a trail to a remote church, saving energy for a guided hike to the sharp-peaked Chaukhi Massif range. Back in Tbilisi, unwind with wine tasting, sulphur baths and a kisa massage.
