Small Group Adventure Travel Pioneers Since 1974

We didn’t invent adventure travel. But for five decades, we’ve set the standard. Big claim, we know… but the awards and five-star reviews speak for themselves. Our not-so-secret formula? It’s knowing that your trip is only as remarkable as your guide. That’s why we handpick our tour leaders for their local expertise, passion and ability to turn a small group of strangers into friends. So whether you’re hiking, biking, wildlife-watching or immersing yourself in a new culture, you know you’re in the best hands.

Your words, not ours

This was our first time with Exodus and we are already looking for our next trip. Essential Peru was an amazing adventure packed with sights, sounds, smells and experiences that would be hard to beat. We saw so much and experienced everything from thunder and rainbows at Machu Picchu , to haute cuisine, to historical sites, high mountain passes, thousand year old plants, vicunas, llamas, and alpacas, sailing on Lake Titicaca, staying with a family on Amantani Island, hiking, and condors.

A feast of experiences and sensations.

The trip was a wonderful way to see some of Southern Africa, we enjoyed the safari’s and boat trips. We had wonderful accommodation across the whole itinerary. The people were very friendly and the food and wine along the way was of good quality and plentiful. The coastline is amazing and the weather in October was pleasant. Our group was small , but it meant we had the opportunity to get to know one another quite well. Our guide Marco was very knowledgeable and good company.

From sunrise mist in the Sapa hills to sunset sails across the limestone peaks of Lan Ha Bay, the AOS Vietnam trip is pure, soul‑stirring adventure. Each day brought a fresh burst of wonder.Kayaking quiet coves, cycling through Hoi An’s lantern‑lit countryside, and wandering heritage streets that felt like living poetry while our expert guides kept things effortless and full of fun! If you’re looking for a journey that’s heartfelt, adventurous, and unforgettable, this is the one!

Who would have thought (without this trip) that there could be such astonishingly lively, unspoiled and (for the most part) unfrequented mountain terrain – and such beautiful and varied walking – just a stone’s throw from the infamous high-rise resort of Benidorm?

What You Can Expect With Exodus

Since 1974, when we took our first group on a daring journey through the rugged hinterland of Afghanistan, Exodus has led the way in adventure travel.

Fifty years on, we’ve kept that same spirit for adventure, and now offer award-winning activity holidays that span all seven continents.

Our recipe is simple. Each adventure is led by the best local guide, chosen for their passion and expertise, and composed of a small group of like-minded people.

You choose your activity style – hikingbikingwildlife-watching, or culture-seeking – and your destination (the world’s big, so our in-house experts are always happy to share their suggestions).

Deeply immersive experiences await. So, yes, we can show you world wonders and unmissable sights. But we’ll also introduce you to the local people, show you trails others miss, and tell you stories others don’t know.

It’s the adventure travel we love and one we’ve been leading for 50 years.
