Welcome to 50plus Expeditions!
The adventure trips outlined on this Web site have been carefully designed to capture the very best of each destination. They have also been designed and selected specifically for active travelers 50 and over, who:
- would like to combine the excitement of exploring a new destination with the exhilaration that comes from rafting on a jungle river or riding an elephant
- are not ‘group’ travelers, but would like to share their curiosity about the world with a few like-minded enthusiastic explorers, and make new friends
- are ready to embrace new sensations, sights and sounds of the far away lands, which may be very different from those at home
All our adventure trips fall into three distinctive categories:
1. Small-Group Adventures (except for Exploratory Trips)
- These trips are reserved exclusively for travelers 50 and over
- Private groups limited to 16 travelers (usually the groups are smaller)
- Escorted throughout by our experienced and knowledgeable local guides
- All meals are included
- All transportation during the tours (including plane, helicopter, train, bus, car, boat, elephant, etc.) is included
- All activities, sightseeing, game viewing, tours and excursions in the itinerary (unless listed as Optional) are included
- Comfortable accommodation with private facilities. On some parts of the remote wilderness trips other types of accommodation will be offered (e.g. private Indian homes on the Lake Titicaca). All such instances are clearly stated in the itineraries and usually provide a unique travel experience
2. Expedition and Adventure Cruises
On your small-ship expedition cruises you will be traveling with adventure-minded people from all corners of the globe, who are mostly over 50.
3. Independent Adventures
On these trips you will have the independence to explore at your own pace, while we take care of your luggage and other logistics of the trip.
Trip Grades
All our trips are graded for difficulty from easy to demanding, depending on the level of physical activity, elevation, climate, etc.
Easy:
From 2 to 3 hours of walking/hiking per day
Moderate:
Longer periods of activity on some days of the trip (up to 4-6 hours). Elevation
Demanding:
Longer accents, higher elevation, and more strenuous activities. You have to be very fit to enjoy these trips
We have selected a number of exciting itineraries in each category. Please kindly note that you have to be in good health to enjoy any of our trips as some level of activity is always involved.
Special Departures
If you would like to travel on a different date, or if our scheduled trips are not quite what you seek, we would welcome the opportunity to design a trip especially for you.
