4.6/5
Self-guided travel with Macs Adventure is for independent, active people who don’t want to be part of the crowd or restricted by set dates and schedules. Go at your own pace, with the people you choose, without the worry of planning routes or arranging trip logistics. We take care of all that for you. It’s active travel, led by you.
Stay cool on these active holidays—ideal for July—while avoiding the peak summer heat. Explore the UK & Ireland's lush green landscapes during the warmest months, hike the Alps for see-it-to-believe-it scenery, or enjoy relaxed cycle rides through Europe.
Start writing your 2025 story, filled with achievement, today! We can't emphasise the urgency enough though - popular trips fill up fast.
A walking holiday gives you time to immerse yourself in the landscape and culture. No timetables, just one foot in front of the other. Explore a Classic UK Trail for a warm welcome, or slow things down to truly discover your chosen destination on a Slower Adventure.
Cycling lets you explore more, but still at a pace that suits you. Browse the most popular cycling holidays for inspiration.
Walking with added spirituality. Walking ancient routes, pilgrimages like the Camino de Santiago allow you to connect with the land, its history and with yourself.
If you’re the active, outdoorsy type, who’s interested in taking on the great routes of the world or looking for a challenge, then our Classic Routes are for you. We’re talking the West Highland Way, Tour Du Mont Blanc and the Elbe Cycle Path, to name but a few!
For those looking to follow a path of self-discovery. Our Pilgrimage and Camino routes take you on a journey through diverse landscapes and local flavours, while meeting like-minded adventurers along the way.
Where walking and cycling meet easy-going exploring, our Slower Adventures are the perfect combination. Most days are filled with picturesque journeys with some free time to dive into the destination and experience the people, local food and culture as you go.
At Macs, we don’t do tour buses, groups, or guides. Instead, we give you the freedom and confidence to have your own self-guided walking or cycling adventure.
This is active travel led by you.
You choose your departure date and who you travel with, we do the rest.
We sort accommodation and luggage transfers and provide your route in an easy-to-use app.
We give you everything you need to travel independently but we're here 24/7 if you need us.
Getting from A to B under your own steam is intensely rewarding. With Macs, you'll see the world, and yourself, differently.

Follow along with our season one host, Arlette Godges, as she walks along Scotland's famous 96-mile long-distance trek: The West Highland Way.
At Macs, we focus on four key areas where we can make a real difference. Measuring our carbon footprint, maintaining and restoring trails, becoming B Corp certified, and advocating for low impact self-guided travel.
We love finding the unique, out of the way locations for our trips, but sometimes you just want to walk the bucket list trips. This collection of trips are the big hitters, the ones that are busting with scenery, local flavour and are just waiting for you to come and visit.
Macs Adventure are delighted to partner with the Hebridean Baker, Coinneach MacLeod, who will be joining us in championing self-guided as the best way to travel.
There is a network of outstanding trails that crisscross England, protected, waymarked and showcasing the very best scenery the country has to offer. To enjoy world-class hiking, there is no need to leave the country.
