Active Small Group Holidays on Roads Less Travelled

Roads Less Travelled (NZ) Ltd is an independent New Zealand owned tour operator specialising in small group walking and cycling holidays in the Greek Islands, Turkey, Italy, France, South America & New Zealand.

And if wildlife and nature are your passion you’ll love our amazing African ‘safaris in comfort’.

Our clients are active New Zealanders and Australians in the 50+ age group, singles or couples, who want to really get the feel of a country and not just see it through a coach window. They want to explore off the main tourist route and avoid the ‘herd mentality’ of large tour groups.

Let us take you to places we know and love!

On a Roads Less Travelled holiday you’ll…

• Travel with a small group of like-minded new friends.

• Avoid the hassle of sorting out bus/ferry/flight schedules.

• Meet lots of locals and stay at delightful, family-run hotels where you’ll feel more like a  friend than a guest.    

• Carry just a daypack with water and sunscreen - there’s no strenuous trekking or backpacking, just a relaxed walk at your own pace.    

• Discover places you’d probably never find on your own, thanks to our 20+ years of experience.

Special offer for GrownUps members:

Mention GrownUps when you book your holiday and we’ll give you a handy microfibre travel bag valued at $89 – perfect for keeping travel documents secure and handy when checking in for flights.

“We sit here at Hemingway’s Resort enjoying the perfect ‘wind down’ after a fabulous safari. Karen you have done it again! After Turkey and Greece our expectations were high, and we certainly have not been disappointed. Who would have ever thought that we would see 20 species of animals on Day 1? Every day brought more pleasure – not only the animals but also the culture and the friendliness of the people. We will never forget this unique experience. Great food and company, excellent guides, friendly camels and the most enjoyable G & T in the middle of nowhere! Thanks a million Karen – where to next?”
Margaret & Raey, Wellington (Kenya Adventure Safari)

“The past month with you in Greece and France has been all we had imagined plus a lot more. Thank you for the superb organization and friendly atmosphere. We have enjoyed ourselves tremendously.”
Helen & John, Hamilton (Greek Islands & France)
