Our Active escapes follow the classic Flash Pack formula: fast paced (though never too intense) and brimming with immersive experiences. Suitable for anyone, as long as you’re willing to try something new.

From high-grade rapids to breathtaking mountain climbs – our Challenging adventures have been built to push you, and then reward you ten-fold. We recommend only people with a base level of fitness opt for these trips.

FAQs

How do I find the right activity level?

Every Flash Pack trip strikes a different balance – whether you’re after an all-out adventure or slower immersion. The Physicality and Downtime meters on each trip page make finding your perfect adventure that much easier. Here’s what they mean:

Physicality –

Chilled: Our most laid-back adventures, with zero pressure. Think easy hikes, gentle kayaking and all the wow with less of the adrenaline.

Active: This trip follows the original Flash Pack formula. A curated mix of adventure and ease – volcano climb one day, yoga the next. Just the right amount of thrill.

Challenging: Big adventures. Big views. Big sense of achievement. If you’re generally fit and willing to push yourself, you’ll love every moment. No training plans needed.

Downtime – 

This shows how much free time you’ll get on the trip – from Less (think full days of back-to-back activities) to Balanced, with built-in breathing room to relax and recharge.

Why should you go on an active adventure?

If you’re looking to test your limits and take on new challenges, look no further. These intrepid trips take you canyoning through the deserts of Jordan, white-water rafting through rapids of Costa Rica and high-altitude hiking amid Chile’s Patagonia. Always wanted to abseil down Table Mountain? No sweat. You can do so in the company of a like-minded group, ready to cheer you on and celebrate your achievements at the end of each day. 

At Flash Pack, we ensure you get the most out of your solo active vacation with our handcrafted group travel packages. Learn more about how it works.

Why should you embark on a group solo trip?

We understand group solo travel can be daunting. But it just might be one of the best things you’ll ever do. Taking on new challenges is what we’re all about at Flash Pack and stepping that little bit outside your comfort zone is often a revelation.

You just need to be brave enough to take that first step – and trust us to take care of the rest… In return, you’ll meet like-minded people – all in their 30s, 40s and 50s – and make amazing new friendships along the way.

Why choose Flash Pack for your group solo travel adventure?

Back in 2014, our co-founder and keen traveler, Radha Vyas, spotted a gap in the group-tour market for people in their 30s, 40s and 50s. So, she set up Flash Pack to deliver immersive, experience-led group adventures for like-minded people at the same life stage. The vast majority of Flashpackers (90%, in fact) arrive solo, before traveling together – and leave having made a whole bunch of new friends.
