Walking Adventures International

Discover the joy of travel on a walking program that exposes you to history, culture, and scenery on all 7 continents

Walking is the oldest form of travel, and we at Walking Adventures soon discovered it is also the purest form of travel. It slows us down and gives our senses a chance to connect with our surroundings. Early on, our travel programs were based exclusively upon 10 kilometer (6.2 mile) trails sponsored by walking clubs affiliated with the International Federation of Popular Sports. These events provi

ded the added dimension of walking with locals - everyday citizens from the host country who love walking and love sharing it with others. As we’ve taken our message of walking blended with motorcoach travel farther afield, we’ve continued to slow our travel pace and look for ever more creative ways to use walks to connect with the culture, history, and scenery of our destination. Most walks in international destinations are planned by WAI staff. These walking adventures generally combine a greater number of shorter walks, still blending them with local points-of-interest and cultural experiences. Walking Adventures International offers an up-close and personal style of travel to more than 60 countries on all 7 continents! We feature 15 different destinations on average per year, offering a different rotation of destinations each year.

2024 Adventures on Foot

Goodbye 2024. Hello 2025! Thank you for being part of the Adventure in 2024! What a privilege to explore planet Earth together this past year.

Our Story

Small is Better!

Walking Adventures International (WAI) is a small travel company based in Vancouver, Washington offering travel programs on all 7 continents. We have offered walking tours as the optimal way to connect with the world since 1989. We are dedicated to providing meaningful experiences around the world. We promote lifelong learning and provide a superior, customized product with a focus on customer service. Many of our clients keep coming back; any given tour is comprised of at least 50% repeat travelers.

Original and Personalized

WAI creates each tour from scratch! We do not purchase pre-packaged programs from other travel companies. New trips involve months of planning, including on-site research to plan walks, review hotels, and handcraft the schedule for each day. Subsequent editions of these trips are refreshed with research from our office and collaboration with in-country guides and suppliers.

More Guides

We send two WAI tour leaders on each trip. International trips also benefit from in-country guides. Typically a national guide is with the group from the time they arrive until the day they depart. Local guides also make cameo appearances to add commentary and share insights.

Nature Walks and More!

We’re convinced that walking is the best way to see the world. We love nature walks and off the beaten path experiences, but great cities of the world have much to share as well. We blend sightseeing and educational excursions in urban settings, traditional and cultural connections in rural areas, as well as natural wonders of the great outdoors to provide a holistic understanding of our destination.

Different Schedule Each Year

We cover the globe—all 7 continents! But every year we offer a different menu of tours based upon client input. Thus, each year the schedule is full of fresh travel experiences. This adds an element of customization—each tour is refreshed and revisited every time we travel. The traveler benefits from our expertise, our past experience, and the invaluable input of our in-country guides and suppliers. But because each trip is essentially a new tour, it doesn’t feel canned or scripted. Authenticity is one of our core travel values!
