Icons explained
The vast majority of Exodus adventures are adult group holidays. Groups are always small in size. We strongly believe that this adherence to small groups means a better experience for all; more time with your guide, less waiting around and a reduced impact on the communities and environments visited.
Each group is generally made up of like-minded travellers - with singles, couples and friends all joining in together.
All these trips are suitable for single travellers, but if you prefer to travel with clients booking individually, please
see our Solo Departures page.
Moderate itineraries require good health and reasonable fitness.
Culture: Let Exodus show you a different side to many of the world's greatest cultural attractions.
Wilderness: Visit the deserts, jungles, plateaux, tundra and mountains of all seven continents, including Antarctica.
Mixed Activities: Activities may range from the ordinary (for example walking, cycling orwhitewater rafting) to the damn right extraordinary (including caving, camel riding or canyoning).
