About Frontiers of Travel

Frontiers of Travel is an independent adventure travel website which provides inspiration for travllers, travel advice to plan your trips and extensive listings of tours and guidebooks from the world's best travel companies.


Why Frontiers of Travel?

Travel has become a boom industry in recent years, with more of the world open to travellers than ever before and a huge array of options available to those with a passion to explore. Frontiers of Travel was set up help users make sense of the bewildering array of possibilities, to find the best adventure travel tours for their chosen destinations and to be inspired to ever more exciting discoveries.


What do we mean by adventure travel?

Adventure travel means different things to different people. It's not necessarily just about scaling mountain peaks, rafting through white-water rapids or ziplining through jungle canopies (though we heartily recommend all of these). Adventure travel means a desire to truly explore the world - to encounter and engage with unique cultures, discover the great historic ruins of ancient civilisations, stand in awe at the planet's natural wonders and travel on epic journeys over land and sea.

Perhaps it's easier to define what adventure travel is not - if your idea of a great holiday is an all-inclusive beach resort, a cruise on the Med or Caribbean or taking the kids to Disneyland, then this probably isn't for you. We don't have any trips to skiing resorts on this site - actually no, we do have one. But it's to Afghanistan!
