DEDICATED WELLNESS TRIPS
Imagine experiencing a purification bath in Bali, a prayer ceremony with monks in Nepal, natural hikes in Iceland, stand-up paddle boarding in Costa Rica or an ashram stay in India. These options and more are now available through adventure travel operator G Adventures that has recently launched a number of tours focused on mindfulness, movement and nourishment. The small group tour operator’s new ‘Wellness’ travel style features a program of trips in 10 destinations, all designed to help travellers slow down and reconnect with the world. More than 80 departures are planned in 2019 to destinations that include Nepal, Costa Rica, Iceland, Patagonia, Tuscany and Peru. Wellness trips will range from seven to 13 days in duration, and balance must-see highlights with a slower pace of travel including regular yoga and healthy food choices. Trips are suitable for all ages and abilities, with each trip led by a Chief Experience Officer. gadventures.com.au
