Many of these travel adventures are within the reach of travel enthusiasts, who previously thought that these activity based journeys were only for those with unlimited time or boat loads of cash. Well, with some planning, smart travel hacks and persistence, you too can create unforgettable memories, in incredible locations, travelling with family & friends

Who This Site is For

Trail Voyage is all about the journeys we take, following a path or trail to discovery. While it may sound cliché, it’s simply about having a great adventure, in good company, within fantastic locations.

You are in the right place if you resonate with any of the below:

  • You love skiing/snowboarding, mountain biking and adventure travel, and want to share those trips with family and friends.
  • You used to experinece many great adventures in your early 20’s but now as an mid-life traveller you still crave those moments and experiences, albeit wih extra comfort.
  • You love to visit and play in the mountains, in all their seasons, enjoying outdoor sports, quality food and unique destination activities.
  • You are discerning with your spending, seeking out quality experiences, gear and travel opportunites.
  • You are likely an experienced traveller with plenty of travel to date, but seeking more activity based destinations and experiences.

Adventure travel is often defined as travel that includes a physical element, cultural experience, and activities in the natural environment. However, even if you only manage two out of the three, you can still have a memorable travel adventure and be motivated to keep exploring and creating more of those shared experiences.
