Luxury Hiking Tours made for you
Start PlanningEnjoy the best hiking trails in the world, on journeys expertly tailored to you
Exploring on foot, on a gentle walk, or a challenging hike, allows you to fully immerse yourself in a region, forging a deeper connection by learning about the terrain and meeting with the people who call it home.
Whether you’re looking for the best trekking in South America or hiking in Europe or New Zealand, your travel designer will help you plan your own journey. Our family hiking trips offer a variety of routes across the world with experiences suited to all ages and abilities.
Hiking is one of the best ways to embrace slow travel, allowing you to spend more time in nature and venture beyond well-trodden routes. Seek out lesser-known trails in Nepal, Switzerland and New Zealand, or enjoy some of the best trekking in Central and South America, including Peru, Argentina, Guatemala.
Stop at a tiny, remote teahouse for lunch, meet farmers to understand their agricultural practices, visit Indigenous craft markets and religious sites. And sample the best local dishes on the way. Then take in sensational views of soaring snow-capped peaks, lush terraced valleys, steep-sided river gorges and immense frozen glaciers
Expect seamless journeys, luxury camps and lodges, detailed pre-climb meetings and privately guided tours. For more inspiration, see Jacada’s best hikes in Europe, best hikes in South Africa and best hiking trails in the world.

Where to go
Europe
Europe has an incredible diversity in its landscapes and offers everything from gentle rambles to the world’s most challenging hikes. Discover epic glacier hikes or gorge walks in Switzerland, follow a medieval pilgrimage walk in Spain, or explore the dramatic fjords of Norway.
Nepal
The Himalayas straddle India, Bhutan, Nepal and Tibet, but it’s in Nepal that you’ll find many of the most staggering trails in this monumental mountain range – to Everest base camp, but also the Annapurna circuit and Himalayan hikes from the lakeside town of Pokhara.
New Zealand
An outdoor playground made for exploring on foot, New Zealand is famous for its eleven multi-day ‘Great Walks’ through diverse natural landscapes – including the glacier-carved wilderness of Fiordland.
Peru
Packed with some of the best trekking trails in the world, Peru offers so much more than the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, including the Lares trek (which traverses part of the Sacred Valley), the Choquequirao Trek and Rainbow Mountain.
Tanzania
Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa, is the ultimate hiking destination for the challenge of a lifetime. The dormant volcano’s snow-capped peak is reached on an ascent of 8–10 days, camping at different points each night, and from the summit you will have panoramic vistas of the vast plains of Tanzania.
Japan
Japan hiking tours delve deeper into its rich cultural traditions and history. Follow ancient routes in the Japanese Alps and explore the old-growth forests in the foothills of Mount Fuji. Relax in onsen hot springs at the end of each rewarding trek.
When to travel
There is somewhere wonderful in the world to take a hike whatever the time of year. In Europe, April to June and September to October are warm but not hot, while on the other side of the world in New Zealand, the hiking season is generally considered to be October to April (most of the Great Walks are closed in winter). September to November are the best months to visit Nepal, due to the pleasant temperatures and clear skies.
