EXPERIENCES
We deliver high-quality, value-based experiences across a broad range of travel categories.
Whether it’s a diverse itinerary taking in the highlights of a particular country, or something more specialised, such as trekking the Annapurna Circuit, cycling the length of Vietnam, or going on safari, we can put together the perfect trip for you. In every region, we offer immersive experiences created by our local experts on the ground that are exclusively available through Escapism.
ADVENTURE SPORTS
With the wind rushing past and the ground falling away beneath you, adventure sports aren’t just about thrills—they’re about truly living in the moment.
Escapism brings you world-class adventure sports designed for every kind of traveller. From skydiving, scuba diving, and paragliding to trekking, surfing, and safaris—we cover the globe’s most thrilling experiences. With certified guides, safety-first practices, and customizable packages, we ensure each journey is as seamless as it is unforgettable.
From skydiving in New Zealand, scuba diving in the Maldives, paragliding in the Himalayas, or skiing down the slopes of the Swiss Alps, our adventures span continents and terrains. Our local partners, certified guides, and on-ground teams handle every detail—gear, safety, training, and logistics—so you can focus entirely on the thrill of the journey.
HIKING & TREKKING
With the ground firmly underfoot, your travellers don’t just admire the scenery on a walking tour, they experience it with every sense.
We can create a walking or trekking tour to suit your clients’ level of fitness and destination of interest. It could be taking a leisurely stroll through the rice-fields of Vietnam, wandering along Italy’s famed Cinque Terre coastline or something more strenuous such as trekking to Everest Base Camp, scaling peaks in Patagonia, or heading to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania.
Whether you’re trekking in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East or Latin America, our local teams will coordinate and operate all the logistics. They’ll design the itineraries and provide expert mountain guides, porters where necessary, as well as our own hiking and camping equipment.
Walking and trekking experiences can help travellers connect with and give back to local communities. We care for our porters by ensuring they receive fair pay, are well clothed and have safe accommodation on the trail. In fact many of our guides began their career with us as porters and now take their skills and experience to create amazing experiences for our clients.
WELLNESS
There’s nothing like a vacation to help you feel well, and that’s the focus of our active, and more laid-back wellness itineraries.
With our range of wellness activities, your clients will be able to get a taste of the destination whilst indulging in some feel-good activities. They could cycle through rice paddies in Vietnam, hike through rainforests in Borneo, relax in hot springs in Iceland or even learn to surf in Sri Lanka.
We can also arrange yoga and meditation retreats in some of the world’s most peaceful destinations including India, Costa Rica, Thailand and Indonesia.
All itineraries can be designed specifically for you and will be delivered under your brand. During their trip your clients will be well supported on the ground by our local teams, and backed by the security of our global business.
WILDLIFE
Get your travellers closer to nature on a wildlife adventure that seeks out the most magnificent animals and places on earth.
Our local teams can create and operate itineraries that focus on wildlife viewing in some of the most spectacular places on earth. Visit national parks and remote regions and go on wildlife safaris and marine journeys.
From spotting elephants on the Serengeti, to witnessing orangutans in the wild, searching for tigers in the Indian jungle or hiking to meet a family of gorillas, there is a world of wildlife ready for your clients to experience.
Searching out wildlife doesn’t have to mean roughing it, although it can if you want to. From five star safari lodges, to basic jungle camps and everything in between, we can create wildlife-focused itineraries that suit just about every budget and comfort level.
We emphasise responsible travel practices wherever we go and avoid experiences where wild animals have been tamed for tourist entertainment. This is why we were the first global tour operator to ban elephant rides on our trips back in 2014.
MARINE LIFE
The ocean is more than just a destination—it’s a living world waiting to be discovered.
Exploring marine life is one of the most awe-inspiring adventures you can experience. We take you beyond the surface, into a world alive with colorful coral reefs, schools of exotic fish, graceful manta rays, and gentle sea turtles. Whether you’re snorkelling in crystal lagoons, scuba diving in deep blue waters, or gliding along the coast by kayak, every moment offers a chance to explore the ocean.
Our marine programs are designed not only to thrill but also to educate and inspire. We collaborate with certified divers, marine biologists, and local experts to ensure that every activity promotes sustainable interaction with the underwater world. From reef-friendly practices to conservation dives that restore coral, your journey contributes to protecting delicate ecosystems while giving back to coastal communities.
You become part of a global movement to keep the oceans alive for generations to come. With eco-friendly gear, responsible travel practices, and opportunities to participate in clean-up dives or marine awareness workshops, you’ll return home not just with memories of adventure, but with the pride of knowing you’ve played a role in protecting our planet’s greatest treasure: the sea.
LIVEABOARD
We've travelled around the world and picked the best places for liveaboard worldwide. Learn what to see, where to stay, and much more!
Eat, Sleep, Dive, Repeat! This is the mantra most commonly used to describe a liveaboard trip, and for good reason. Not only do they offer a fully immersive dive experience, but liveaboards also provide a whole range of benefits, such as access to islands, resorts and the ability to cover a much wider area than you could on a day trip.
This is more than travel—it’s a true escape from the ordinary. Our liveaboard trips bring together worlds best adventurers for eco-conscious explorers, who crave something deeper than the everyday. Sailing through the depths of Maldives, vibrant coral gardens of the Caribbean Sea, to the vast blue depths of the Pacific ocean, you’ll leave with memories as boundless as the ocean itself.
COMMUNITY
Community experiences allow travellers to get under the skin of a destination as they experience local life first-hand.
Travelling beyond the usual tourist sights to experience authentic elements of local life creates a lasting bond between your travellers and the places they explore. For many it is these moments, not the iconic sights, that they cherish long after they have returned.
Community experiences can be as small as a dance performance in Buenos Aires, a weaving demonstration at Lake Titicaca, cooking a traditional meal In Thailand or exploring the vibrant culture of India.
They can also be larger, more immersive events, such as home stays with the people of Cambodia, a hike to meet the Sapa tribes of Vietnam or an overnight stay with a local family in Zululand, South Africa.
Backed by our global business, our local offices design and operate itineraries that connect travellers to the places they visit and the communities they meet along the way. And as locals, our people know the best community experiences to include. They’ll work closely with you to ensure the community activities create a brand experience that your clients will be talking about long after they return.
CULTURE
Cultural adventures look beyond the iconic sights to explore the historic, religious and cultural influences on the destination.
Our cultural adventures will take travellers under the skin of a place to find what really makes it tick. Every destination has its own unique story to tell. Often complicated, sometimes dark, but always enlightening, these stories will leave travellers with a greater understanding of the destination and their own place in the world.
Your travellers could walk the Killing Fields of Cambodia and see how a horrific past does not necessarily mean a dire future. They can immerse themselves in monastery life to discover the role of religion in the new and old, Myanmar. In Africa they can visit the last of the remaining kingdoms, Swaziland and Lesotho, to witness living history.
Homestays can also play a part in cultural understanding and your travellers will have opportunities to stay with local families or in small communities all around the world including Morocco, Russia, Vietnam, India or even Romania.
Our offices are staffed by locals, who know the culture and the history of the regions better than anyone. They will work with you to create the most appropriate cultural experiences for your brand.
