Backroads Walking & Hiking Vacations

As you roam the countryside on a walking or hiking vacation—slowly, leisurely—be prepared for a sensory rush. Smell the sea before it comes into view. Marvel at silky meadows woven with wildflowers. Hear the cacophony of wildlife in the jungle—and the absence of sound in the desert. There's no glass between you and the real world—this is it!

With 32 years of experience, Backroads believes in crafting walking and hiking vacations that allow you to embrace the world around you. What transforms our walking and hiking trips into vacations of a lifetime is our unwavering commitment to excellence. A passion for bringing you the best can be seen in everything we do, from the leaders we hire to the luxury accommodations we select to the routes we uncover. And it is just one reason why we've been recognized as one of the world's top 10 travel companies by the readers of Travel + Leisure.

Care for a walk? We do...come join us in exploring the world, one step at a time.
