In this installment of our activity holidays guide we look at what to expect on an activity holiday.
Activity holidays are a popular type of holiday in which you spend a length of time (from a few days to a few weeks or months), either in your home country or abroad, participating in one, or a range, of activities. Though 'normal' holidays contain activities in which you choose to participate in, activity holidays are different in the simple fact that the activities or activity is the focus point and not in addition to your holiday.
They generally are more costly than say a 'normal' holiday, but not always. You can save several hundreds of dollars by planning and organizing your own trip but not knowing the local language or if you have a tight schedule in which you need to stick to, this can become very difficult. Also, by using a reputable company to book your active holiday, you will be able to rest assured that safety (which is increased with these such types of trips) will be of their up most concern as their company reputation depends upon.
Such holidays are generally offered as an all-inclusive package so the price listed on websites or in brochures will include your accommodation and food, as well as the instruction you'll receive from your instructors / guides. Whether insurance and transportation are included will vary, so be sure to get everything included or not in writing as your confirmation.
There are a number of these trips that cater to holidays for adult groups but family and children packages are also available. Group size will tend to stay small in size, averaging 10-15 participants in each, however this can vary one way or the other depending on the activity taken place. Smaller groups allow for more attention from the guide as well as less time just standing around thus making for a much better experience.
It's best to first choose what activity or activities you want to participate in and then look at what destinations they're offered in rather than first choosing a destination. The reason being that you'll likely spend more time participating in activities than you will exploring the location you choose. - 16887
