Trip Actvity Levels
Trips are rated from activity level 1 to activity level 5. These rates vary slightly for each of our partner tour operators, with level 1 being the most leisurely and level 5 being strenuous. Most of our trips are rated level 2 or level 3, as most of our travelers are moderately active to active travelers. Actvity levels are described in each trip flyer and additional details for Collette and OAT can be found at the links below:
