Our commitment to travel we believe in

Self-guided travel is already quieter and slower than most. We want it to leave the places we operate in better off. Here's what we're doing, with the numbers behind it.

Our commitments

Every Macs Adventure starts with a great route and a place worth exploring. Behind each trail is a network of local partners, communities, and landscapes that make it possible, and we take our role in caring for them seriously. From working with local businesses to supporting trail upkeep and respecting the cultures that welcome us, we aim to make thoughtful choices in how we travel and operate.

  • Supporting local communities

    Our routes come to life through the people along the way. We work with independent accommodations, family-run B&Bs, hotels, luggage transfer companies, and other local businesses. That means you experience each destination through those who know it best, while helping sustain the businesses that make it unique.

  • Caring for Trails and Landscapes

    We volunteer locally and help fund the upkeep of routes like the West Highland Way, South West Coast Path, and Lech River Trail. We also partner with Leave No Trace to encourage our community and staff to educate themselves through the Leave No Trace 101 Course. To cut waste, we’ve moved documents and maps into our app, expanded office recycling, and partnered with Water-to-Go on filter bottles that reduce single-use plastic on the trail.

  • Helping You Explore Independently

    Every trip is planned so you can explore at your own pace, with our team behind the scenes. We take care of detailed itineraries, route notes, and luggage transfers, so you can hike or bike without carrying your bags each day. Our app brings itineraries, maps, navigation, and trip info together in one place. And if you need help along the way, our team is available 24/7.

  • Always Evolving

    Our travelers shape what we do. We gather feedback during each trip through route-specific comments in our app, and after it through post-trip reviews. That shows us what you love, what’s working, and where we can do better, so every adventure is one you can book with confidence and look forward to.
