Their range of shorter breaks and weeklong expeditions combine imaginative mixtures of breathtaking scenery, relaxing exercise, local culture and cosy accommodation. Instead of buses or minibuses, Vagabond uses 4WD Land Rovers, so our group sizes are smaller and more flexible and we can explore areas far beyond the reach of normal tours.
You'll leave the road behind and drive along beaches, through rivers or up muddy tracks; You'll walk in the mountains, surf in the Atlantic, ride a horse or play golf; You'll clamber over ancient ruins, learn about pirate queens, retrace the steps of pilgrims or search for your ancestors. And at the end of the day - a roaring fire, some music, great food and a pint.
