Adventure Travel Tours – Seniors

Adventure Primer

This page is a primer for those seniors who are contemplating an adventure tour or just wondering what it is all about. Our definition of adventure is that if you think it is an adventure it is.

We are most interested in cultural and nature adventure coupled with whatever level of activity and comfort you care for. The tours listed on our site contain a guide on the level of activity and comfort.  Not all seniors want the hugest level of comfort and the lowest level of activity, but some do. The beauty of these guides is that you can select a tour or package from any area on the site and choose your preferred level of comfort and activity. The packages and tours we list on the Seniors Adventure Tours pages are comfortable and easy on the limbs. Like gourmet walking tours, wine tasting and cultural trips to exciting ethnic markets or international seaports with a diverse cultural landscape such as the halifax Seaport farmers market in Nova Scotia . more >>>

Some Research to Start

A lot, however, depends on the kind of planning and homework you do. Your first step would be to list the type of adventures and activities you would like to do. Learn more about the trip. Your tour organizer can help answer your questions and concerns. You can also watch videos online. Many travelers write blogs and post videos about their trip and experiences. These will give you a clear picture about what to expect during the adventure travel tours.

 

Travel Healthy, Safe and Well

You should also consider your overall health and make sure you have access to everything important. Your health or financial situation should not prevent you from enjoying your life and making these the best years of your life.

Once you decide on your adventure travel tour, your tour provider can help you pack and prepare for it. Some international travels may require additional vaccinations and preventative medications. Your doctor can inform you about any travel restrictions in the area. The U.S. Department of State also issues travel advisories from time to time. It is important to be aware of such notifications. Find out about the number of bags you can carry and some essentials that won’t be available. Your tour provider may arrange for certain basic amenities or give you the required information.

Although they may seem complicated, most adventure travel tours are completely safe and offer a great learning experiences.

You will understand how people can survive in different social, geographical, cultural and political environments. It may change the way you perceive your life and your problems.
