Traveling solo on a self-guided active trip is the ultimate freedom. With no compromises, you can go at your own pace and indulge in time to yourself, all for yourself!

Some of our most popular solo walking adventures follow the iconic Camino de Santiago, most famously its Camino Frances, a timeless pilgrimage route leading to Santiago in Spain. Other routes perfect for solo hiking offer a more contemplative Camino, tracing the backroads and pilgrim paths of Portugal and Spain.

Elsewhere, classic routes like Hadrian's Wall Path in England or France's Canal du Midi Cycle Path are very well signposted, giving you some extra assurance as you follow your Macs app navigation. Others, like the Lech River Trail, offer populated hiking trails, small and friendly hosted accommodations, and nearby bus routes in case you want to easily skip a section. With an active solo adventure, you can create your own personal journey by taking in the natural beauty and local culture of small towns and wilderness areas on your own terms. 

On one of our active self-guided solo tours you're never part of a group, but with detailed information, seamless planning, our award-winning navigation app and 24/7 on-trip support we will be behind you every step of the way. And point to point luggage transfers mean you'll travel light on nearly all of our solo adventures. Whether you're new to solo travel or a seasoned pro, we’re confident at Macs that any one of self-guided solo tours will offer you an unparalleled sense of freedom, independence, and achievement!

  • FAQs: Can I do any trip solo?

    We will always prioritize the safety of our travelers, so sometimes in more remote areas or on trips with more challenging terrain we won't offer certain trips to solo travelers.

    Check the "Is it for me?" info section on our tour web pages or the booking checkout will show if you can't book the trip solo.

  • FAQs: If I'm on a solo trip, will there be a guide?

    We believe the best way to travel is on your own terms.

    So with Macs Adventure self-guided tours, you are not part of a larger group, and you don't have a guide. 

    On a Solo Tour it's just you on your spectacular journey, but don't be surprised if you make new friends along the way. 

    We'll handle all the logistics, make sure you have everything you need, and are available by phone or via our local support, so you can focus on the hiking and what will very likely be a life-changing experience.

  • FAQs: How do I plan my route if I'm hiking by myself?

    By booking with Macs Adventure, you'll have access to our award-winning Macs Adventure App and any other supplemental guides or maps you'll need for your specific trip. 

    Our App lets you easily follow your route and find fascinating Points of Interest along the way. Our App is also available offline, so you won't require cell service while on the trail. And best of all, our App will let you know if you veer too far off the planned trail.

  • FAQs: Why is there a single/solo supplement fee?

    Any trip you book will likely have a solo supplement due to higher costs for private rooms (compared to two people sharing a room, which our standard pricing is based on).

    Costs for any luggage transfers or other services will also be higher as the cost is not shared across multiple travelers. We always try to negotiate the best and fairest prices for solo rooms or other trip inclusions.

    The solo cost will be calculated as you go through our online checkout, or our specialists will be happy to provide a quote and any other advice you need.

    FAQs: Why is there a single/solo supplement fee?
  • FAQs: Do I need to be an experienced hiker to go solo?

    Not necessarily. Many routes are designed for all levels, with daily distances and terrain options suited to your comfort and ability.
