EF Adventures, a new initiative by EF World Journeys, emphasizes wellness and active travel. As part of EF Education First, a leading global educational organization with a professional cycling team, EF Adventures aims to address the increasing demand for travel experiences that "blend physical activity with cultural immersion."
Launching in October 2024, EF Adventures will offer "over 20 tours across 16 countries, with plans for more hiking, biking, and multi-adventure options; targeted at travelers aged 14 and older, tours are rated on a scale from 1 to 5 to accommodate various fitness levels." Participants can choose from options such as e-bikes and walking tours, with flexible itineraries allowing for exploration at individual paces. Additionally, the program includes opportunities for travelers to take breaks and engage more deeply with local culture during their journeys to balance physical activity with relaxation.
