Short Tours

A short tour is essentially any trip that lasts just a few days—perfect for weekend getaways, quick adventures, or sneaky escapes between bigger holidays. Think anywhere from 2 to 4 days. 

Usually, you’ll get transport, a few key activities, and sometimes meals, all bundled into a short tour package. Each tour’s a little different though, so it’s worth checking the fine print before you pack your bags. 

Often, yes! Short tours are great for spontaneous travellers, especially if you’re not super fussed about where you go. With this in mind, if you are after a specific trip or date, we recommend booking in advance to ensure you don’t miss out.
