One Week Adventures

One Week Adventure Vacations

A week is enough time to finish a famous trail, walk the best section of a longer one, or simply switch off with seven days of walking or cycling. Macs Adventure has spent over 20 years building self-guided trips that fit neatly into one week away.

Walk the West Highland Way or Hadrian's Wall end to end, follow the Camino Frances into Santiago, trace the Algarve's clifftops on the Fishermen's Trail, or cycle the Canal du Midi from Toulouse toward the Mediterranean.

Join the 40,000+ travelers a year who explore with Macs Adventure, a leader in self-guided travel.
