Luxury Hiking Tours made for you
Set off on remarkable hiking vacations around the world
Enjoy the best hiking trails in the world, on journeys expertly tailored to you
Exploring on foot, on a gentle walk, or a challenging hike, allows you to fully immerse yourself in a region, forging a deeper connection by learning about the terrain and meeting with the people who call it home.
Whether you’re looking for the best trekking in South America or hiking in Europe or New Zealand, your travel designer will help you plan an unforgettable trip customised perfectly to your level of adventure.
Hiking vacations are the epitome of slow travel and have a lighter environmental footprint – particularly when you’re able to explore lesser-known trails. Our experts specialise in arranging bespoke itineraries that take you off-the-beaten-track in hiking destinations including Nepal, Switzerland and New Zealand, plus the very best trekking in Central and South America, in Peru, Argentina, Guatemala and beyond.
Stop at a tiny, remote teahouse for lunch, meet farmers to understand their unique agricultural practices, visit Indigenous craft markets and religious sites and sample the best local dishes on the way. Then take in sensational views of soaring snow-capped peaks, lush terraced valleys, steep-sided river gorges and immense frozen glaciers.
With Jacada you can expect seamless journeys, luxury camps and lodges, detailed pre-climb meetings and privately guided tours, activities and excursions en-route. For more inspiration, see Jacada’s best hikes in Europe, best hikes in South Africa and best hiking trails in the world.

On walking trips, luxury and comfort are important – whether that’s all-terrain sleeping and dining tents set up for you each night, staying in a luxury lodge with the Himalayas as a backdrop, or exploring New Zealand’s Great Walks with a private guide. Our team can also help you extend your trip by suggesting additional luxury places to stay once you’ve finished hiking.

When to travel
There is somewhere wonderful in the world to take a hike whatever the time of year. In Europe, April to June and September to October are warm but not hot, while on the other side of the world in New Zealand, the hiking season is generally considered to be October to April (most of the Great Walks are closed in winter). September to November are the best months to visit Nepal, due to the pleasant temperatures and clear skies.
