Romantic Adventure Vacations

A romantic adventure trades a beach resort for a shared route, and Macs Adventure has spent over 20 years building self-guided trips for couples who'd rather explore together than sit still.

Walk Tuscany's vineyard paths into a candlelit dinner, bike along Croatia's coastline between waterfront towns, or follow Scotland's glens to a countryside inn, each day ending somewhere worth the hike.

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

  • A couple enjoys a peaceful moment on a bench, surrounded by the lush greenery of an olive tree.

I chose to propose in the Scottish Highlands on a Macs adventure because we love exploring the world together, and nowhere felt more romantic than the breathtaking landscapes, peaceful lochs, and historic castles. It was the perfect place to begin our next adventure as a couple.
