Solo travel is a growing trend. From young adults traveling between school semesters or well-traveled adults taking a solo sabbatical, approximately 24 percent of Americans went on at least one solo vacation last year, and, according to a MMGY Global report, 46 percent of those travelers were women.
Clearly, solo travel is a draw for vacationers and individuals looking for a unique experience, so make it easier for the adventurers in your life and help them get on solo.
Whether your outgoing travelers are seeking a unique experience outside of their comfort zone or some independence through travel, use this list of helpful tours and retreats to help guide the way.
Overseas Adventure Travel brings small groups of 8–16 travelers through wild African Safaris, ancient Italy and the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. With a focus on solo travelers, prices include international airfare, 16–17 days of exploring and range $3,595–5,395. Travelers embark on a new journey with like-minded individuals and follow local experts along flexible tours — wild and free, but with the safety of knowing they’re with a group.
For outdoor adventurers, G Adventures offers tours for solo travelers. Guests explore Switzerland on foot with 10-day trekking journeys or tour Belize like a Mayan local on a 22-day tour. Hop on off-roading vehicles through Africa’s wild terrain with the freedom of solo travel and added safety net of a tour operator.
