This is One Life Adventures

One Life was started with one idea; to create ethical, transformational travel experiences for adventurous individuals. These are no ordinary group tours. We won’t herd you from one crowded photo opportunity to another. We give you something different to the norm while making a positive impact on the communities we visit, and on the environment. One Life is for adventure-seekers, backpackers, or anyone looking to experience some of the most beautiful and culturally rich travel destinations in the world. We all have one life and one planet, it’s time to embrace both.

Start Your Adventure with Us

We specialise in once in a lifetime trips, giving you that off-the-beaten track adventure you’ve been searching for. We’ve explored high and low to find unique activities in each of our hand picked destinations. What you see on your itinerary is what you get; our tours are full of inclusions (no sneaky hidden costs!) so you won’t find yourself putting your hand in your pocket every time you want to participate. Spend your days making the most of every minute; we’ll take care of the rest!

Experience Local Culture

We provide unique, cultural experiences and activities in each destination we visit. When you look out of the window of your plane as you fly away from your most recent life-changing experience, you’ll sit comfortably knowing you just experienced the true culture of that country. From the mouth-watering local cuisines to the traditional activities (picture a Kendo class in Japan, taught by a descendent of a real samurai!) – you’ll have incredible, authentic memories for the rest of your life. Our long standing relationships with our local suppliers will add endless value and depth to your experience, they’re one-of-a-kind humans, and we can’t wait for you to meet them!

UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION

We know travelling can be tiring, so we don’t skimp on where you stay. We’ve handpicked the best accommodations possible across every location we offer, so you’ll be resting your head in prime position. Predominantly hotels or boutique hostels, mixed in with glamping in national parks, camping on private beach camps and traditional temple stays – these are epic accommodations, with a unique twist.

MAKING CHANGE

Responsible tourism has been at the heart of our tours since day one. Anyone that enjoys hiking, snorkelling and any other form of travel has a responsibility to care for our planet. As travellers, we have the best opportunity to make a change – not only can we limit our negative impact as we move around, but we can push ourselves and influence the rest of the travel community to leave positive impacts. We are environmentally and socially conscious in everything that we do, from the suppliers that we use, to the ways we fight against plastic usage. From the community projects we support, to the guides that lead our tours – tourism is an incredible opportunity for local communities and choosing to be socially responsible in the way that you travel can change lives.
