Our Adventure Tour brand is just that an ‘Adventure’. Adventure Tours are green road driving adventures that go that little bit further. Adventure Tour itineraries offer an extended adventure that may include camping (in modern campsites) or alternative accommodation.
We do recommend all terrain tyres as a minimum, and preferably your 4×4 is equipped is with high and low ratio gears, locking differentials (either center or axle), raised air intake (snorkel) would be beneficial. Underbody and side body protection such as steering and diff guards, tree and rock sliders are recommended, although not essential.
As good practice your 4×4 should have accessible recovery points at the front and rear. We strongly advise that your vehicle has a full size spare wheel; space savers and/or repair kits are not recommended.
Adventure Tours are weekend or longer tours with a comprehensive itinerary to make the most of your time with us. Adventure Tours in the UK include the Lake District and Wales. Tours across the English Channel and into Europe heading south to the French and Spanish Pyrenees, Andorra, French and Italian Alps, Portugal and destinations beyond such as Morocco are all in development.
Because of the nature of green road driving we need to make you aware that there is an element of risk of possible damaging your vehicle and / or its components. Whilst this is unlikely as we reconnoiter all our trails and tracks for suitability and safety both the risk and the likelihood is feasible on an Adventure Tour; even if this is ‘bramble rash’.
Adventure Tours itinerary includes:

Smugglers Trails & Tracks Pyrenees Adventure Tour
We will be based in the Principality of Andorra. During the 1700’s smugglers of the area found it is easy to dip in and out of Andorra’s neutral borders; crossing to and from Spain and France during the Napoleonic wars, transporting illegal goods between the two belligerent countries. A legacy of the smugglers trade is the network of trails and tracks suitable for 4×4, 2 wheels and two feet of course.

Portugal’s Douro Explorer Adventure Tour
The Douro is a river that has its source in Spain. Our journey begins at the small village of Paradela that marks the border between Spain and Portugal. A rugged region, with high slopes where the Douro winds between high granitic walls. Downstream of Barca d’Alva, both sides of the river become Portuguese, twisting and turning as large river cruise boats travel the final 130 mile of its course before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean in Porto.
