Tours of Thailand

Most Explore tours are packed with action and adventure, travelling through a country to experience its culture, its landscapes and to meet the local people. Occasionally though you might want to try a more relaxing style of adventure, where there’s still plenty to do and to explore, but also with time to unwind on some of the world’s most idyllic beaches. As you would expect, an Explore beach holiday is more than just a week or fortnight lying on a sun-lounger and getting a tan. On our style of beach holiday you could enjoy boat trips to off-shore islands, walk on scenic coastal paths, discover hidden coves and snorkel over coral reefs. Or you might meet local communities and learn about their everyday lives, away from the built up beach resorts. On an Explore beach holiday you won’t be bored: there’s plenty to keep you busy and interested. But you’ll also have plenty of time to unwind and simply enjoy relaxing on the beach. Every now and then even the most hardened adventurer needs a chance to rest and recharge the batteries!
