Hiking, trekking, and walking provide a way to slow down. Enjoy your surroundings. Soak up the sights and sounds of the world that normally rushes by. Feel your body, stretch your muscles, understand yourself. What better way to pause and release stress than a hike? And for those with an itch to see the world, a hiking vacation opens doors to places and people most tourists will never get to see.
For avid hikers who need a vacation, Outward Travel connects you with the places, guides, and routes that are best experienced on foot. Athletes who want to push their limits can trek to the highest peaks in the world. If you love ancient cultures, you can hike the Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu. Stunning sights abound in winter by snowshoe, or simply slow down with a walkabout in Australia or Europe.

Featured Hiking Tours
Mount Kilimanjaro
Trek to the highest point in Africa (19,000+ feet) on one of four life-changing routes through forest, moorland, and high desert. You'll stay in tents or huts depending on the route, and meet local people who will celebrate your achievement with you. Optionally, add a Safari drive to cap off your time in Tanzania!
Choose a Kilimanjaro Trek
Snowshoeing Adventures
Bundle up, because there is nothing so majestic as frozen lakes, snowcapped mountains, ice formations, the Northern Lights, or Old Faithful during the colder months. Choose from the Canadian Rockies, Yellowstone & Tetons in the USA, or Finland & Sweden to experience a magical winter wonderland.
