There’s something magical about a truly dark sky – one untouched by city lights, glowing instead with stars, constellations, and even the flicker of the Northern Lights if you’re lucky.
We're talking all about looking up – and heading out. Because the best adventures don’t end when the sun goes down… they just get better.
And if you're after something really rare, meet our brand-new, one-off trek through Iceland’s volcanic wilderness. Designed around the total solar eclipse happening on 12 August 2026, this is your chance to experience one of the universe’s most spectacular events… from one of the best places on Earth to see it.
Explore this and other star-studded adventures...
See you out there!

If you follow us on social media, you’ll have seen us celebrating International Dark Sky Week – a reminder that some of the most awe-inspiring travel moments happen not only in the daylight, but also under a canopy of stars.
Several of our challenges take you deep into remote, wild landscapes where the night skies are just as spectacular as the views by day. Perfect for those who like their adventure with a side of cosmic wonder.
This challenge takes you deep into the heart of the Moroccan Sahara, where shifting dunes, ancient trade routes, and quiet desert camps create a sense of total escape.
👉 “You step outside your tent at night and feel like you’re in a planetarium. But better – because it's real!” Jazz
With no light pollution for hundreds of miles, this is one of the best places on Earth to experience a truly dark sky – it’s just you, the silence, and a galaxy above.
Towering above the High Atlas Mountains, Mount Toubkal (4167m) is the highest peak in North Africa – and a serious summit goal for adventurous trekkers.
👉 The route winds through remote Berber villages and dramatic alpine valleys, before a final, challenging push to the top for panoramic views across Morocco.
And when the sun sets? Expect crisp mountain air, traditional hospitality, and skies so clear they’ll stop you in your tracks. It’s raw, rugged, high-altitude magic.
Snow-dusted forests, frozen lakes, and absolute stillness – this adventure in Finland is winter wilderness at its finest.
With clear northern skies and zero light pollution, your nights are for watching the stars (and maybe even the Northern Lights) from the warmth of your remote cabin.
This trek follows a historic path through the Jordanian desert, from Dana Nature Reserve to one of the Seven New Wonders of the World: the ancient city of Petra.
👉 By day, you’ll climb through sandstone gorges and sleep under canvas in remote Bedouin camps. By night, you’ll dine fireside and look up at an untouched desert sky.
Right now, Jordan is quieter than usual – and while that’s understandable, it's also very sad. But this makes it an incredibly special time to visit. Our local teams are ready and excited to welcome adventurers, and with fewer crowds, you’ll experience Petra and the surrounding desert in a way few others will.
This is more than a trek – it’s a journey through time, story, and silence, with stars for company.
One night, one mountain, and one unforgettable experience under the stars.
👉 Starting in the dark, you’ll climb Snowdon by headtorch – watching the constellations shift above you as you make your way to the summit.
It’s a condensed but powerful challenge that rewards you with epic views and the quiet thrill of walking beneath the night sky. Short, sharp, and truly special.
Once in a Lifetime: Trek Iceland During the 2026 Solar Eclipse
This is not just a trek. It’s a front-row seat to one of the universe’s most awe-inspiring shows – the total solar eclipse on 12 August 2026.
👉 Our brand-new Icelandic adventure is built entirely around this once-in-a-lifetime event, placing you right in the path of totality as the skies darken above one of the wildest landscapes on Earth.
By day, it’s all rugged volcanic beauty and geothermal wonders. By night, well, the night is a short one... that's for sure - with a small taste of Iceland’s famous midnight sun still lingering in August.
But the headline act? That moment of silence and shadow, when the sun disappears behind the moon and everything shifts. A total eclipse, and you, right there in the middle of it.
🚨 This is a one-off departure with extremely limited places.
