Central America Adventure Tours, Travel & Holidays
Central America combines atmospheric colonial cities, ancient temples and civilisations, sandy white beaches and sparkling blue waters. On our Central America tours you can explore the ancient Maya sites of Tikal, Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan, learning all about the expansive history of these unique countries and civilisations that once ruled them. Bask on the white sands of Caribbean beaches, snorkel amongst colourful fish and other unique marine life and feel the weight lifting off your shoulders as you experience some of the most relaxed countries in the world. Explore colourful markets, salsa the night away in Old Havana or delve into the wilderness of Costa Rica’s National Parks. View the exotic wildlife, from monkeys to toucans, turtles to manatees, and immerse yourself in the nature of Central America. Relax before glorious sunsets in a beach hammock or get the heart pumping on a zipline over a jungle canopy and sail through one of the seven engineering wonders of the world. Whether it’s a foodie walking tour of Oaxaca, tequila sampling in Mexico City or exploring ancient ruins in Belize, Central America ticks all the boxes.

Our tours are modular
In Central America, our group tours range from 8 to 28 days long, so there's something to suit every need! Those looking for a quick break in just one country can join an 8 day tour of Cuba. Those fortunate enough to have more spare time, consider a combinable trip such as our 28 day Mexico to Costa Rica tour. Most of our tours are small sections of longer trips, so if you want to visit a few places, combine a couple of different tours to form an extended adventure of your choice! Or alternatively personalise a tour that is entirely your own by contacting our Tailor-made team.

Travel for as little or as long as you like
In Central America, our tours range from 8 to 28 days long. Many of our short tours can be combined to form longer sections and with other travellers always joining you on your adventure, your tour will be filled with constant surprises.
We have won several awards throughout the years for our tours, earning accolades for our focus on responsible adventure travel. Included amongst these is the Best Small Holiday Company at the 2018 British Travel Awards.
Central America Highlights
Havana, Cuba
The capital city of Cuba offers an unforgettable experience. Crumbling colonial buildings, vintage colourful cars and sun kissed landscape, Havana offers a fascinating insight into Cuban life. Bask on the beach, follow the salsa rhythms and enjoy a rum cocktail, we guarantee you won't want to leave.
Tikal, Guatemala
Located at the heart of the Guatemalan jungle within the National park, the ancient temples of Tikal tower above the rainforest and are considered a key part of Mayan history and civilization, making it a popular World Heritage site to be visited.
Caye Caulker, Belize
Grab a slice of paradise and slow the pace down as you experience the Caribbean atmosphere of Caye Caulker. Paddle board on the crystal blue waters, spot manatees and snorkel with fish of all sizes and colours. Cycle the charming streets or walk the golden beaches as you settle into the island way of life.
Monteverde, Costa Rica
Enter a tropical cloud forest and experience an environment made up of over 160 species of reptiles and amphibians amongst other colourful wildlife. Perfect for lovers of nature and forest walks/hikes!

Staff Top Tips
Archie Fiddes - Marketing Assistant
Travelling in Mexico is an experience that has it all - tangible ancient history, mesmerising natural beauty, vibrantly passionate citizens and of course the delectable local food. My tip for any trip to Mexico would be to ditch set mealtimes and simply follow your nose whenever your stomach starts to grumble. There is world class street food everywhere!
