Responsible Travel
PAN Parks
Oulanka National Park is part of the PAN Parks network, a Europe-wide organisation, founded by WWF, that promotes tourism as a tool for wilderness and nature conservation. For each booking on this holiday Exodus will give EUR20 to this worthwhile foundation and the money will help expand the network throughout Europe. www.panparks.org
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.
Relatively full days, with 3-4 hours of physical activity, although occasional longer or harder days may be involved. Previous experience is not necessary, but you should be confident of your fitness level.
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).
Winter Activities: It's about seeking out alternative ways to have fun in unspoilt locations, you won't find standard skiing or snowboarding breaks here.
