Independent Hiking Holidays

Offering the best of both worlds, these holidays allow you to explore on foot at your own pace, but with the logistics taken care of. In Iceland you don’t have to travel far to find some excellent walking trails and can experience the freedom of a self-drive holiday as well as finding plenty of time to explore on foot.

Similarly, New Zealand also offers hundreds of well-marked and scenic walking trails in national parks throughout the country – some of the finest can be tailored into a hike and drive adventure.

In Norway, the scenic island of Senja is a microcosm of the country and is ideal for week-long self-drive interspersed with hikes.
