That’s not to say that every active vacation itinerary reads like a training schedule for the Olympic trials, but a growing number of travelers are opting to see the sights from atop a ten-speed mountain bike than from the comfort of a luxury coach. Other settings have inspired similar interests - white water rafting, kayaking, cross country skiing…the list is as long as the number of ports in the Pacific, but whatever best fits your description, Back Bay Travel Active can make it happen.

Popular Trend

The growing popularity of active travel reflects society’s increasing obsession with health and it’s desire for more hours in the day. The never-ending struggle to stay fit, healthy and employed at the same time, active travel vacations allow for rigorous physical challenges to compliment the many moments of awe that spring from our grandest travels.
“I can’t describe the feeling I got in my stomach when we turned the corner and saw the Eiffel Tower straight on. I didn’t know whether to look for the finish line of my race or the starting line for the up elevator,” said Kristen Lee after returning from a 10-day bicycle trek through Paris and the French Wine Country.
