Adventure vacations for singles over 40

Our Cultural Discovery trips are our most popular trips of all - from taking a Grand Tour of Morocco to cruising along lakes and between fishing villages among other must-see Cambodia Highlights, there's the perfect culture-packed trip for every single traveler over 40.

Led by expert guides, every one of our cultural small group trips is designed to offer an authentic experience, beyond the tourist attractions and into the heart of the local culture. On some trips you'll even have the opportunity to stay and eat with locals, and travel on local transport - you'll truly have all the excitement of a solo trip, with a carefully planned itinerary so there's nothing for you to worry about but how to capture the moments!

Speaking of the locals, many of our adventure vacations for over 40s offer you the chance to get up close to some of the world's most wonderful wildlife. The trip of a lifetime for nature lovers, our Wildlife trips could show you the Highlights of Costa Rica, including its lazy sloths, noisy monkeys and vibrantly colored frogs and birds, or perhaps you'd like to spot toucans, parrots and crocodiles as you Discover Belize?
 

If an African safari has always been on your Bucket List, our 15-day Botswana Wildlife Safari takes you into the carefully protected habitats of Africa's most magnificent wildlife so you can see white rhino, elephant, buffalo, cheetah, and lion in their natural and happy states. Vacations for single travelers don't come more unforgettable than this.

Active adventures for solo travelers in their 40s

Whether you're an avid walker, a keen cyclist or always enjoy trying something new, at Explore we offer action-packed small group activity trips that make solo travel over 40 even more fun.

On our best-selling Toubkal Climb Moroccan trekking adventure, you'll be guided through lush forests and remote villages before embarking upon an ascent of Jebel Toubkal - North Africa's highest peak, from where you can take in the panoramic and breathtaking views of the High Atlas. Or if you like to stretch your legs but don't want to tackle a tricky incline, go On Foot in Northern Cyprus to follow trails through the Besparmak Mountains, and admire its beautiful flora and fauna, Crusader castles and majestic coastline.

Prefer to feel the wind in your hair on a bike? We offer many two wheeled-trips too, where we'll even provide your bike! Whatever level of cycling you feel ready to take on, whether that's a moderately challenging journey along Southeastern European roads as you Cycle Albania, or a gentle, picturesque cruise alongside the Canal Du Midi.
