50-Plus Expeditions Takes You to Places You’ve NEVER Been!
This organization selects adventure trips that are specifically for active 50+ travelers who want to have a fabulous holiday with only over-50 travelers at a reasonable price and pace, and safely. The destinations are quite surprising and wonderful; with no mandatory single supplement charge.
For example, you can travel to the Arctic or Antarctica! Have a taste for Asia? You can visit Borneo, Cambodia, India, Nepal, and more. You can go to Kenya and Tanzania, or climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Don’t worry. They let you know if it’s “physically demanding” or not.

Mountain Biking in Cambodia
In a remote village nestled in the foothills of Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, former illegal loggers and endangered wildlife poachers are turning to mountain biking to provide a more sustainable income.
Established with the assistance of Wildlife Alliance (formerly Wild Aid), an NGO (Live and Learn) working to protect the area’s endangered wildlife, and in partnership with Asia Adventures, a Cambodian-based adventure tour company, the villagers of Chi Pat have set up a community-based ecotourism project featuring Cambodia’s first off-road mountain bike tours into one of the region’s most important, and little explored, wilderness areas.

Horseback Riding in St. Maarten
With tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and 37 sun-swept beaches, there is no lack of beautiful landscapes and natural diversity in St. Maarten. Visitors to this beautiful Caribbean nation can opt to explore the different parts of the island in a way that’s as unique as St. Maarten itself — on horseback. There are several equestrian tours available for novice and expert riders that offer an extraordinary way to see the sites.
On horseback, riders can explore rarely-traveled nature trails leading to hidden coves or pristine waterfalls, ride alongside the beautiful turquoise water as the sun sets in the distance, or discover the lush St. Maarten vegetation and beautiful overlooks that showcase this picturesque island. Embarking on a horseback ride enables visitors to tackle more rigorous terrain and discover off the beaten path areas that are difficult to access on foot. With numerous historical sites that are scattered throughout the island, travel by horseback also allows entry to cultural and historical wonders that cannot be accessed by car.
The ease of traveling by horseback is also ideal for families, benefiting both children and adults looking for an easier way to reach some of St. Maarten’s highest peaks to experience some of the country’s most breathtaking views. This is one of the equestrian experiences available in St. Maarten:
