These expert-led hiking holidays pave the way for adventures along rugged coastline and the lava-laced trails of Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands.

Whether you prefer a bracing forest hike cooled by the Caribbean breeze or a more rustic ramble along rocky trails, these two-footed tours have you covered. Designed with easy-going days and accessible levels of exertion, these Culture Trips are perfectly primed for all ages – including seniors in search of some outdoorsy adventure.

The uncompromising terrain of rural Scotland can be a little daunting for the less-confident hiker, but we think that everybody should be able to see this stunning landscape for themselves. That’s why our seven-day Rail Trip is paced for Culture Trippers of all capabilities. The comfort of trains like the famous Jacobite steam locomotive offer long stretches of epic scenery without any strain on the legs, but there’ll still be plenty of time to get out there yourself. We’ll be going on a guided hike in the Cairngorms National Park and exploring the Isle of Skye, including a boat trip to Loch Coruisk.
