Real Adventures with Pioneer Expeditions

If you want a travel experience that will test you, inspire you and possibly change your life then Pioneer Expeditions are looking for you. The latest activity holiday specialist to join Inspiring Holidays, Pioneer Expeditions offer real adventures achieving extraordinary Pioneer Firsts.

Their original 'Pioneer' itineraries are only run a limited number of times. This allows very small groups (usually up to 8 people) to visit exotic and little visited destinations, minimising the negative impact on the local environment and maximising the positives.


Nature and culture play an important part in their adventures and there are plenty of opportunities on every trip to explore the fascinating flora and fauna, unusual places and landmarks around you. And after comfortably roughing it in the wilds, they tend to spend the last few days relaxing in more luxurious accommodation. They promise to try to make life as comfortable as possible, even when camping out in the wilds.


Their expedition leaders are very experienced field professionals and, while they are highly knowledgeable about their expedition area, they also recognise that no one knows a place better than the people who live there. As a result they always employ local guides and experts to work with their Pioneer leaders.


On many expeditions they aim to be the first group to achieve an unusual objective or particular mission. Canoeing a river from source to sea, climbing a remote mountain, swimming a volcanic lake, trekking a glacier or traversing a tropical island; they are constantly researching new ideas and experiences.


You will not need any specialist skills to come on a pioneer expedition – though you may leave with some – and age is no barrier.


"The world is full of pristine wilderness and unique challenges. You just need to know where to look..."
Adrian Gray, Managing Director
