Easy Adventure Vacations

Active travel should not mean pushing your limits. Our easier adventures use shorter days, gentle terrain and flat cycle paths, so first-timers and relaxed travelers can enjoy the outdoors without the strain.

Ride the Moselle and Loire cycle paths, walk the Heart of the Lake District or the vineyards of Burgundy, or see Scotland on the Grand Tour of Scotland by Rail. You can even finish the Camino de Santiago on our Relaxed Final Stage from Sarria. Every trip is self-guided, so you set the pace, and we book your stays and move your luggage.

Macs Adventure has planned easy vacations for 20+ years, backed by 24,000+ reviews.

Get to know Easier Adventures

  • What makes a trip easier?

    Shorter daily distances, gentle terrain, flat cycle paths and well-marked routes. Every trip is graded, and these are our easiest.

  • Do I need to be fit?

    You should be comfortable walking for a few hours or cycling on flat paths. If you can manage a good day out, you can enjoy these trips.

  • Are these trips good for first-timers?

    Yes. Easy-graded self-guided trips suit first-time multi-day hikers and cyclists, with route notes, luggage transfers and 24/7 support.

  • Can I walk the Camino on an easy trip?

    Yes. Our Relaxed Camino Final Stage, Sarria to Santiago, is graded Easy and spreads the final stretch into Santiago over more, shorter days. Other Camino Frances options are more demanding, so choose the Relaxed Final Stage when you book.

  • Is a trip really self-guided?

    Yes. You walk or ride at your own pace using route notes and the Macs app, with no group to follow. Our team is on call if plans change.

  • Can I mix rail and hiking?

    Yes. The Grand Tour of Scotland by Rail links scenic train journeys with short walks.
