Best Travel Experiences for Groups

collaborative guest post

While solo adventure is an increasingly popular way to see the world, group travel is still the default for most tourists. In the company of friends, colleagues and families, you can share the experience of a holiday, bond with one another, and, in many cases, slash your costs in the process.

But even if you’re committed to the idea of travelling as a group, you might still be uncertain about your destination. Let’s take a look at a handful of amazing experiences that will appeal to various kinds of travellers.

Ski Trips for Adventure and Bonding

There’s a great deal to like about skiing. It’s a high-octane way to explore some of the most beautiful environments that the world has to offer. You’ll get a great workout, you’ll experience an unrivalled rush, and you’ll do it all against a backdrop of soaring, snow-powdered peaks. The right chalets, après-ski activities, and ski school might make a given resort even more appealing.

There are a number of Alpine resorts worth considering, and Andorra ski holidays are increasingly appealing to modern skiers, thanks to a world-beating combination of slopes, facilities, and affordability. 

Cultural City Breaks with a Group

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of incredible cities around the world, waiting to be explored. Some of them are worth visiting more than once. If your group can agree on a destination, then you might enjoy a spectacular few days wandering around museums, historic city centres, ‘Old Towns’, and parks – before resting your feet at a café or restaurant.

This kind of trip is great because it’s flexible. Different members of your group can head off and do their own thing in the daytime, before you all meet up for drinks in the evening. 

Beach Retreats for Relaxation

If you’re heading for a coastal resort during a sunny time of year, then a few days spent beside the sea are almost obligatory. Depending on your preferences, you might spend the time indulging in high-octane water sports, like jet skiing or surfing, or you might recline on the beach in the company of a book. If you have shared accommodation, like a beach-facing villa, then the experience might be truly unforgettable. 

Hiking and Nature Retreats

Hiking is among the best forms of exercise there are. Better yet, it’s a means of exploring some of the most beautiful natural environments that the world has to offer. Choose a suitably scenic destination, like a national park, and choose an assortment of trails that match your abilities. You’ll need minimal equipment, but water, windproof clothing, and a sturdy pair of walking boots can all be extremely useful.

Road Trips for Ultimate Flexibility

A road trip is a great way to travel long distances and see a variety of sights along the way. You can plan your journey down to the last mile – but in most cases it’s worth leaving extra time so that you can visit particular attractions as the fancy takes you (and as the weather permits).

Group Sailing Adventures

A sailing trip is a great way to explore various port towns along a particular stretch of coastline. You can charter a yacht and explore parts of the world that other tourists can’t reach. Hidden coves, beaches, and bays might all be worth dropping anchor in.

Wellness and Retreat-Style Getaways

If you’re concerned about your health, then the right kind of retreat can help you to protect it. As a group, you might spend your time at a wellness resort indulging in spa treatments, guided meditation, and yoga.

Food and Wine-Themed Getaways

For many, a major part of the appeal of a group holiday is the chance it offers to share food and drink with friends. You might visit a particular producer or restaurant or even take cooking lessons.

Conclusion

Group travel offers a great way to bond with those close to you. Getting the best from a trip of this kind often means careful planning, but if you can accommodate everyone’s interests, you can enjoy a trip to remember.
