Exotic Travel With Adventurers 50 and Over

If you're looking for adventure and want age-friendly travel experiences with people your own age -- especially if you are over 50 -- consider a journey with ElderTreks. Not only does the Canada-based company avoid the beaten path, its trips are geared exclusively to travelers 50 and older.

With ElderTreks you won't see a country through the windows of a tour bus or rush from one tourist attraction to another. Instead, you'll stroll through markets to savor the regional flavor, have time to chat with locals, and share dinner with a local family in their home.

Many of ElderTrek's trips offer an "Adventure Option" -- at no extra cost. These adventures take you to remote areas by foot, boat, or even on elephants, at a pace conducive to the comfort of people over 50. You may spend a leisurely afternoon bicycling through the countryside, a night camping or on the floor of a tribal headman's hut.

ElderTreks offers trips around the world--Burma, Tibet, Morocco, Patagonia, India, Alaska, Iceland and South Africa, to name but a few countries. Its online menu of itineraries includes an easy-to-read physical activity rating.
