Below are a few of our Biking, Walking and Multisport Winter trips:
Hawaii Multisport: Bike, Walk and Sea Kayak on the Big Island
If you thought the blue of the Pacific was something to write home about, wait until you see the grazing land rippling along the flank of Kohala Mountain. The grass really is greener in Hawaii," raved Travel & Leisure. The diversity of the Big Island's greens and blues is well matched to the varied active pursuits on Backroads' multisport adventure.
Patagonia: A Natural Extravaganza
Travel south with us to Patagonia, where nature’s handiwork is almost too spellbinding to be believed. Our biking trip takes you into Patagonia’s Lakes District, where snow-dusted volcanoes seem close enough to touch, dazzling lakes display mirror images of Andean peaks and forests thrive in vast national parks.
New Zealand: A Land of Astounding Diversity
New Zealand’s North Island appears tranquil at first glance—graced with trout-filled streams, waterfalls, pristine forests and fertile farmland. After discovering its gushing geysers, steaming vents and bubbling pools, however, you are reminded of the powerful forces lying below the surface. Let Backroads guide your North Island journey on foot.
More than a bicycling vacation, this cultural excursion through Buddhist-influenced northern Thailand takes us pedaling past lush rice paddies and hiking to hilltribe villages. We float down the Maekok River by boat and explore the forests astride elephants.
