Where will your sports holiday take you?

Replace your office chair or sofa with a surfboard or saddle on a revitalising sports holiday that lets you actively experience the local culture.

Our hands-on sports and water sports holidays drop you in the heart of the action. Here, lifelong surfers teach you to stand (and stay) up on your board, riding school tutors lead your horse riding trek and local guides show you the hidden walking trails of the region.

Go learn to surf in all varieties: kite, wind and regular. Or dip below the waves on a scuba diving holiday. If you prefer dry land, roam the trails by foot on a walking holiday or discover them from the saddle with a horse riding holiday.

For added flair, you can even combine sports with other activities.

Whip up tasty paella before hitting the trails while horse riding in Spain. Practice your downward dog before you 'hang ten' on a surf and yoga holiday in Portugal or Morocco.

Learn the local Spanish lingo on horseback in Andalucia. Or, take photos from your surfboard on a photography and surfing holiday in Costa Rica.

Whatever your passions, you can find a sports holiday to indulge your active side, as well as a group of like-minded people to experience it with. Never settle for ordinary.

Who are our sports holiday guests?

You'll meet people of all ages and nationalities, from solo travellers to couples to friends. Some want to escape the confines of their 9-to-5 jobs, others devote their lives to active pursuits. Others still have never seen the ocean, much less surfed it, while some just want to prove that they can do whatever they set their mind to.

All that's required is an abundance of energy, a zest for life and a refusal to be boxed in.

Is this you? It looks like you.

Thousands of people have already discovered that our eclectic mix of sports and active holidays are as diverse as the people who go on them. Come and join them.
