Best Trips for Singles Over 60

DISCOVER MORE SOLO DESTINATIONS

Sightseeing

Solo travel is an exciting journey where you can experience the world according to your own interests and desires! Enjoy the flexibility to curate a special trip, and explore at your own pace.  

For single travelers interested in meeting new people, there’s an abundance of social activities and tours that you can join while abroad. Or, choose to peacefully explore independently and immerse yourself in a new environment.  

There’s a myriad of interesting pursuits to uncover on a solo getaway, including culture, cuisine, historic architecture, and nature.  

Whether you’re looking to embark on a new journey on your own, or are a seasoned solo traveler on the lookout for a new destination, read below for the best cities to travel for singles over 60.

Perhaps best known for their port-wine production, Porto is Portugal’s second largest city and features the Douro River which runs through the center of the city.  

Be sure to visit the best viewpoint in the city at the Dom Luís I bridge. Whether it’s the daytime or nighttime, catch the stunning view of the cathedral, historic buildings, and the Douro River itself. Stroll down the Cais da Ribeira, a photogenic promenade that hugs the Douro River. With a vibrant evening atmosphere, discover exciting street performers, eclectic restaurants, and neat shops.

Take a nature walk at the Jardins do Palácio De Cristal. Situated on the city’s hilltop, it’s a spectacular landscaped park with a stunning botanical garden, lovely pathways, and magnificent views.

With Porto’s divine culinary scene, single travelers can join a food and wine tasting tour to sample the city’s best delicacy in a social setting.

Boston is notable for their outstanding seafood and rich history. In the heart of the downtown lays the historic meeting hall known as the Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Stop by this urban complex with artisan crafts, quirky shops, food stalls, and buzzing street performers.  

Take a break at the Boston Common, the oldest public park in the city. Located near downtown, this green space is an excellent option for solo travelers to enjoy a picnic on the benches, take a nature walk, or admire the surrounding scenery of the pond and trees. Don’t miss the adjacent Public Garden for a view of manicured gardens and an array of lovely flowers.  

Pop by the grand Central Library to admire the stunning Renaissance-style architecture and impressive murals that date back to 1873, or visit the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum for a history lesson via an interactive experience led by costumed interpreters.

The capital of Scotland is the perfect city for a solo trip consisting of beautiful stone architecture, the striking Medieval Old Town, and rich cultural landmarks.

Head over to the Old Town, where you can wander through the narrow passages and admire the beautiful historical monuments, delightful shops and quaint cafes.  

While in the heart of the city, you’ll also encounter The Royal Mile. This magnificent stretch of road is the main thoroughfare that connects the Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood. When you reach the Edinburgh Castle, take a step back in time as you explore this cultural icon that dates back to the 11th century.  

Escape to a tranquil paradise right in the city, at the Princes Street Gardens. Stroll through the massive urban park to admire the scenic surroundings filled with monuments, flower beds, and a spectacular view of Edinburgh Castle.  

Singapore is noted for their spectacular green landscape and cleanliness.  Singapore is extremely safe for a big city, which is part of the reason it is a popular destination for people in their 60’s who are traveling alone.

In the heart of downtown lies the Gardens by the Bay, a massive nature park that spans across 250 acres. Wander through the majestic gardens, which feature an extensive collection of over 1.5 million plants!  

Don’t miss the Cloud Forest section which showcases a soaring waterfall surrounded by dense vegetation, and the Singapore Botanical Gardens park which is a peaceful tropical oasis.

Single travelers can explore the city’s architecture and catch a glimpse of the city skyline with an evening walk through the Marina Bay promenade. For a complete panoramic, head up to the SkyPark Observation Deck where you can catch the soaring views from the 57th floor.

Though Utrecht is a larger city with excellent amenities, it also offers the charm of a smaller town. This medieval city in the Netherlands consists of lovely canals, well-preserved ancient architecture, and a quaint ambiance that is ideal for exploring by foot.  

Take a leisurely stroll by the old canal in the city center, and admire the picturesque backdrop, the ancient houses, as well as the cafes and shops. If you prefer to venture out onto the actual canals, kayak and boat rentals are available.

For a unique museum choice, head over to the Museum Speelklok, a unique haven for antique automated musical instruments. You’ll discover musical clocks, musical boxes, and the classic Dutch street organ.  

If you’re visiting in season, stop by the Bloemenmarkt, a local street bursting with vibrant and colorful flower of all types. Utrecht’s charming city center, intriguing museums, and unique character all make it a fantastic destination for single travelers over 60.

Adventure Vacations for Single Seniors

If you love discovering new sites, exploring new scenery, and getting acquainted with the local flora and fauna, we recommend adventure-themed trips for seniors traveling alone. Depending on where you go, you can participate in guided tour options—or you can take the trip into your own hands and explore at your leisure.

The best part about adventure vacations for senior singles is that you have loads of options, both state-side and worldwide.

California's Pacific Coast Highway

One of the best state-side adventure trips a single senior could take is exploring California’s Pacific Coast Highway. This trip is a splendid opportunity to enjoy the scenic beauty of the West Coast from the comfort of your own car.

The most popular way to experience this trip is to start in San Francisco and end in San Diego. While you drive, you’ll take in breathtaking views of the Bay Area, local surf towns, rocky coastlines, vineyards, quirky roadside attractions, and so much more. As you make your way to San Diego, we highly recommend stopping to enjoy the fresh seafood in local restaurants, taking a break to watch the sunset, and even stopping for a few days to enjoy California wine country.

If you’re looking to make your own agenda and move at your own pace, this trip will allow you to go when you’re ready, slow down when you want to explore more, and provide you with some unforgettable scenery every step of the day. Sites like California Crossings have DIY itineraries or you can look to book a guided tour through companies like Off the Beaten Path .

If you’re up for an adventure but looking for someone else to handle the specific logistics and details of planning, we recommend finding a tour group designed for seniors over the age of 50 or 60. One great option is ElderTreks , a global adventure travel company designed exclusively for people over the age of 60.

What we love about ElderTreks for single travelers over 60 is that you might start off the adventure alone, but you’ll meet a wonderful group of senior travelers along the journey. The best part of taking an adventure with ElderTreks is that they’ll handle all of the logistics—all you’ll have to do is pay one lump sum for your travel. Your meals, accommodations, tips, and transportation are all included, making it a very easy vacation to budget for and easily one of the best vacations for single seniors.

Explore Ireland by Rail and Road

Looking to soak in some lush and historic views? We recommend taking a jaunt through Ireland. With its well-established railroad lines, you can sit back and enjoy the scenery from a cozy train. No matter where you end up, you’ll discover abbeys, castles, coastal vistas, and picturesque postcard towns.

If you’re looking for modern sites, you can travel to major cities and soak up their artistic takes on food and more. It’s fairly easy to get around Ireland as most locals are bilingual and can provide you with English directions.

There are a number of railroad companies that provide tours, including Railroad Tours Ireland , which offers two nights in Killarney, two nights in Galway, and two nights in Dublin.

Tour Vacations for Singles Over 60

If you’re looking for a vacation for singles over 60 where all you have to do is show up, consider a tour-based vacation. With many options to choose from in the United States and the world as a whole, you’ll enjoy a guided tour or adventure with the opportunity to socialize with a larger group.

The Himalayas

Are you someone who loves breathtaking views and staying active? Join a tour group going to the Himalayas! These mountains are the perfect place to explore the world through a peaceful, relaxing adventure.

Most tour groups provide a mix of activities including hiking, spa treatments, yoga retreats, and meditation. As you’re traveling with a group, this trip can be a particularly good fit for a single senior woman. Plus, one perk of traveling with a guided tour is that you can make new friends with other travelers whom you may not have encountered in any other circumstances.

A trip like this is sure to lead you to your own inner zen — making it one of the best vacations for singles over 60 who are looking to do some soul searching amidst beautiful scenery and culture. You can learn more from Escape Himalaya , TrekkingMart , and Active Adventures .

Machu Picchu in Peru

Your retirement is the perfect time to visit some of the world’s most historic and magnificent sites. Of course, Machu Picchu makes the list as one of the best vacation spots for single seniors because it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Sit e—and one of the Seven Wonders of the World !

Since it’s such a well-established travel destination, there are loads of travel groups that come to share the magic of this ancient Incan citadel and temple. With a large number of group tour options, you can find one that will have just the right level of physical activity for you.

There are opportunities to hike the trail or enjoy a more leisurely view from one of the many rail services. No matter what kind of vacation you’re looking for, there is something for everyone at Machu Picchu.

Kruger National Park, Africa

If you’re an animal lover or have always enjoyed watching nature documentaries about Africa’s incredible wildlife, consider a guided tour to Kruger National Park in Africa. It’s every animal lover’s dream to go on an authentic African safari to see the “big five” and Kruger National Park is known for its sightings of elephants, lions, rhinos, leopards, and buffalos.

Within the park, you can experience the African wild in comfort. With many lodging options, you can book a tour that will grant you your dream vacation complete with all the amenities you’re looking for and more.

And when you book a tour-style trip, it allows you to experience the location—but with the extra element of community, you’ll get to build friendships with other solo travelers over 60 and maybe plan a few more trips together!

Resort Trips For Seniors Traveling Alone

If you’re looking for the best holidays for single travelers over 60, we recommend considering resorts or all-inclusive vacations. There are thousands of all-inclusive vacations for single seniors all over the U.S. and the world, making your destination options almost as endless as the amenities list some of these places offer.

Resort vacations for single senior citizens are the perfect opportunity to relax however you want, play golf, read books, or soak in the sun by a picture-perfect pool or white-sand beach. What we love most about resorts is that you can move through your vacation at your own pace, doing exactly what you want and nothing you don’t.

Lone Mountain Ranch: Big Sky, Montana

If you’re looking for a wild west experience and one of the best senior vacations for singles, Lone Mountain Ranch must be considered. It’s about 18 miles from Yellowstone National Park, and the ranch is surrounded by the Montana Rockies. Just an hour away from the Bozeman Airport, it’s easy and accessible to reach.

With 27 historic cabins, you can find one that’s the perfect size for your needs. Plus, each cabin is equipped with an authentic wood stove, rustic furniture, stunning views, and tucked neatly away into a forested setting.

At Lone Mountain, you can go horseback riding on trails led by experienced cowboys to ensure a memorable and safe experience for all riders. You can also take a guided hike, go mountain biking, or even settle into the stream for some fly fishing. With the water nearby, you can take a canoe or a kayak to see some sights or spend the day relaxing in a tube on your way down the Madison River. They even have outdoor yoga classes, archery, ax throwing, and guided day trips to Yellowstone.

If you’re an active and adventurous single senior who loves nature, Lone Mountain Ranch is one of the best vacation spots for single seniors.

Cavallo Point: Sausalito, California

If you’re looking for a little bit of everything, try exploring Cavallo Point in Sausalito, California. Located at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, Cavallo Point is inspired by the 75,000 acres of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

What makes Cavallo Point stand out as one of the best vacations for single seniors is its stunning views, top-notch dining, and a wide assortment of cultural experiences. With a mix of historical architecture and contemporary design, you’ll stay in a room with a gorgeous view—and you’ll be just minutes away from the San Francisco area.

By staying at Cavallo Point, you can go biking, hiking, running, walking, and enjoy all that the Bay Area has to offer. With lots of outdoor fire pits, take in the views under the stars one night and fill your days with guided hikes, yoga classes, seaplane or helicopter tours, or a sunset cruise. This area is also home to a Healing Arts Center & Spa , so don’t forget to soak in some extra restoration and zen with a spa treatment or two.

Carlisle Bay, Antigua

Carlisle Bay is your classic beach resort located in the Caribbean. Known for being a luxurious location to vacation, Carlisle Bay offers both family and adult-only accommodations, making it a great place for single travelers over 60 to explore with friends or solo for a relaxing and refreshing time.

What truly elevates Carlisle Bay is the wonderful amenities. Their facilities are complete with immaculate tennis courts, spas, fitness centers, and outdoor yoga pavilions. Plus, you’ll enjoy extensive dining options, including four restaurants and three bars on the resort grounds so you can kick back and enjoy yourself. All-inclusive packages make this a seamless and stress-free vacation spot for single seniors over 60.

Vacations for Single Senior Women

If you’re hesitant to take a single trip as a senior lady, we’re here to ease your mind. Although traveling as a single senior woman can be overwhelming, the benefits will far outweigh any worries that you may have. Vacationing as a single senior woman offers you the freedom to enjoy yourself fully. Try planning a trip around your favorite hobbies or experiencing the destination you’ve always dreamed of.

Alaska, USA

If you are a single senior woman over the age of 60 living in the United States, Alaska offers an incredibly exciting vacation—and one that isn’t even out of the country. Enjoy giant whales and sea animals, grizzly and polar bears, and the glaciers in all their glory. Alaskan cruise ships provide accessible accommodations, highlighting the beauty of Alaska’s port cities, Juneau and Sitka.

If you’re less enthused about spending your time on a cruise, consider the Aurora Winter Train , which travels weekends between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Spring is a particularly popular time to enjoy the train as you can watch the Iditarod Sled Dog Race festivities happening in Anchorage.

Bungalows Key Largo: Key Largo, Florida

If there’s nothing you love more than a tropical oasis, consider Bungalows in Key Largo. This all-inclusive, adults-only resort is a magical and relaxing place to stay. Choose from a waterfront bungalow on the tranquil Gulf of Mexico or a bungalow perched among the lush botanical gardens, complete with a soaking tub and an outdoor shower.

At Bungalows, you can choose just how active you’d like to be. Try relaxing watersports, such as kayaking or snorkeling in the protected bay. Or join a beachfront yoga class before visiting the Zen Garden’s Spa steam room, sauna, or massage. To end the day, watch the sunset on the beach or spend your time on a catamaran cruise.

From the bustling downtown Sydney to the rural Outback, Australia is a great country to visit if you’re a single senior woman over 60. Odyssey Traveller offers several senior-friendly group tours, including one to the Southern Highlands and Canberra, to the Blue Mountains outside of Sydney, a tour of Melbourne, and so many more.

As a country, Australia has a charmingly laid-back atmosphere. And thanks to its vast size, Australia offers something for everyone. Try snorkeling or scuba diving near the Great Barrier Reef, enjoy some of the best beaches in the world, and live the relaxed Australian lifestyle.

Vacations for Single Senior Men

If you’re a single senior man over the age of 60, consider planning your own ideal vacation. Many men likely have their own idea of what makes the perfect vacation—so planning a solo trip focused on your own unique interests and hobbies can be a greatly rewarding experience.

Lions Dive Beach Resort, Curacao

For the single senior man over 60 with a love of activity and adventure, look no further than Lions Dive Beach Resort in Curacao. With a hotel located directly on the beach, Lions Dive Beach Resort offers a number of outdoor activities, including diving, swimming, mountain biking, and hiking. If you like scuba diving, you can get your scuba certificate at Lions Dive—and the resort will coordinate your lessons and training.

Plus, the idyllic resort features breathtaking views of the Caribbean sea, several delicious restaurants, and plenty of recommendations on how to spend your senior trip as a single.

Big Cedar Lodge: Ridgedale, Missouri

Although you might not immediately think of vacationing in Missouri, Big Cedar Lodge is a wilderness resort in the Ozark Mountains with an incredible list of amenities, activities, and more. Overlooking Table Rock Lake, Big Cedar Lodge offers cozy accommodations, spectacular restaurants, two full-service marinas, five golf courses, an activity center, a relaxing spa, and countless outdoor activities.

Whether you love golfing, skeet shopping, archery, or hiking, Big Cedar Lodge has something for everyone.

Sedona, Arizona

For active seniors looking for a perfect setting to explore, try Sedona. Surrounded by majestic red rocks and no shortage of hiking trails, Sedona is often hailed as one of the most beautiful areas to visit in the United States.

Although Sedona is well known for its wonderful hiking, biking, and outdoor activities, you can also enjoy Jeep tours or hot air balloon rides to fully immerse yourself in all that the city has to offer. Less than a two-hour drive from the Phoenix airport, Sedona is definitely somewhere to visit if you’re a senior single over 60 looking for a relaxing but invigorating adventure.

Kiawah Island Golf Resort, South Carolina

If there’s nothing you love more than golfing, consider a trip to Kiawah Island Golf Resort on a stunning barrier island off the coast of South Carolina. You’ll probably remember Kiawah from the 2021 PGA Championship. The Resort features five spectacular courses, including Turtle Point designed by the one and only Jack Nicklaus.

Planning an entire vacation centered around golf is a wonderful vacation for single men. Plus, you’ll be close to Charleston so if you want to spend the day downtown shopping or taking in the local sights, it’s convenient and easy to access.

Tips for Seniors Traveling Alone

If you’re new to traveling alone as a senior over 60, it might feel daunting or overwhelming—but the benefits of traveling as a senior solo are countless. Here are a few tips for seniors traveling alone:

• Start small. One of the easiest ways to get comfortable traveling on your own as a senior is to start small. Pick a few local destinations in your comfort zone—and plan your itinerary. Once you’ve done a local trip, or even a day trip or two, you’ll likely feel more confident and self-assured. If there’s a more intense trip on your bucket list, you’ll be well-prepared for it.
• Try something new. If you’re in your retirement years and adventuring without a set schedule, don’t hold yourself back from trying something new. Have you always wanted to try something in particular but never did? Now is your perfect chance to explore and experiment.
• Use technology. Although there might be a learning curve when it comes to new technologies, relying on tech during your travels can be a huge help. From scheduling a ride-share service such as Uber or Lyft from your phone to checking in for your flight with one tap, using technology as a senior single traveling can help alleviate stress and extra work.
• Make friends. If you have hesitation about traveling alone, consider a guided tour group that caters to senior citizens. Although you may arrive and depart alone, being in a group situation will provide you with friends and acquaintances to spend time with, enjoy a meal together, or even go for a hike or outdoor excursion together.
• Listen to your gut. When traveling to new areas, pay attention to your surroundings and trust your gut. Try to stay in well-lit, well-populated areas and remain in public spaces. Another great way to support your overall safety is to arrive during the daytime—avoid scheduling your arrival after dusk falls.

Your first solo holiday

It can be difficult to know what to expect when you set off on any holiday, and if you’re a  first-timer on one of our solo holidays,  that’s especially true.

So, below you will find just a few of the many reasons why solo traveller holidays with the award-winning travel service Friendship Travel can offer you an amazing, stress-free experience:

• You will be travelling with plenty of like-minded people to share your experience and memories with, whether you are hoping to enjoy one of our  cruises ,  walking holidays , city breaks,  ski holidays , or any other kind of getaway.
• Your Friendship Travel host/tour manager will make you feel completely at ease on your first singles holiday, introducing you to your fellow solo travellers and being your point of contact if you need any travel advice or have any concerns.
• We have tried and tested all of our hotels and resorts for your peace of mind.

• Be your own tour guide! Choose what you do and who with, ensuring your holiday is entirely hassle-free. If you would prefer to spend some free time alone relaxing, that’s not a problem. Or if you want to enjoy a small group tour or shore excursions with others, that’s fine too.
• As a solos holidays specialist, we only offer package holidays which do not include the single supplement that single people are often charged when booking places on family or couple-oriented breaks.

Read 5 SURPRISING PLACES TO TRAVEL IN 2023 FOR SOLO WOMEN OVER 60 .

Reasons Traveling Alone as a Woman Rocks

Margaret Manning, founder of Sixty & Me, tells us her reasons why traveling solo as a woman is both freeing and empowering. 

In my 50s, with my kids out of the house and my ex-husband no longer in my life, I was finally free to explore the world in my own way. So, I took textile tours in India and Myanmar. I spent several nights in the rainforests of Bali. I learned yoga, took a cooking class in Italy and spent one month traveling through Europe by train.

Every one of these adventures was precious to me. I didn’t have to compromise with anyone to make them a reality. I just followed my heart.

Travelling alone as a woman over 50 feels different. More often than not, I am the one that young people turn to for advice. Nothing makes me happier than helping someone who I meet on the road to make a business connection or form a friendship. I have paid for dinners, been a shoulder to cry on and looked after children on 4 continents.

It is so wonderful to be able to give back a little bit! As a woman over 50, you have so much to offer the world! At home, you are one of many people living a normal life. On the road, you can be a hero!

When you travel alone, you are forced to face yourself. Sometimes the little girl that you find on the inside is fearful or timid. Other times, she is surprisingly brave and energized. Either way, she is wonderfully complex and worth talking to. You just need to remove the distractions so that you can hear her tiny voice.

On my last trip to Bali, I ended up singing 1970s songs in the back of a VW bus with my fake husband Alex. If that description sounds fascinating, trust me, it was much wilder in person!

I sometimes think that my kids (grown up now) are shocked by the photos I take on my trips. They would never imagine that I would receive a waterfall blessing or climb a volcano. They probably never expected to see me feed elephants at a sanctuary or learn Italian cooking.

These activities are like the pieces of my soul – diverse, complex, curious and wild. I hope that I will continue to travel alone as a woman well into my 80s.

Amazing Vacations for Single Women

#1: road scholar’s in the heart of the scottish highlands tour.

Road Scholar offers learning adventures where itineraries are perfectly curated to give the most immersive and educational experience to groups of travelers.

Discover what makes the Scottish Highlands one of Europe’s most unique natural wonders, as you learn the history of ancient lochs, clan lands, castles and glens. Let historians guide you on the Road Scholar’s 13 days In the Heart of the Scottish Highlands tour, where legend blends with history and that is sure to make you step back in time.

This is a small group with light walking, nothing too strenuous. The trip includes 11 breakfasts, 10 lunches, and 11 dinners.

“Seeing so many places and learning so much in a relatively short time and in such a comfortable and well-organized way is what Road Scholar does best and this trip was everything I hoped it would be and more.” —Nancy, Marysville, CA

#2: Overseas Adventure Travel’s Ancient Kingdoms: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia

Visiting Asia with a tour group doesn’t have to be intimidating. Overseas Adventure Travel’s 18-day Ancient Kingdoms tour takes you to Bangkok, Luang Prabang, Vientiane, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Angkor Wat with a small group.

Explore the Mekong River by boat, experience a tuk-tuk ride and learn about life in a floating village and a Hmong home. Visit the Killing Fields and Vietnamese tunnels used by the Viet Cong and gain insights into the southeast Asian conflicts that tore countries and families apart.

You must be in reasonably good physical condition to take this trip; you’ll be on the go for several hours each day and will need to be able to navigate uneven terrain and staircases.

This tour sells out quickly, possibly because OAT does not charge a single supplement on the Ancient Kingdoms tour. Airfare, visa fees, some gratuities, optional tours, some lunches and some dinners not included.

“Thrilling dream retirement trip!

I cannot say enough about this trip! So enjoyed learning about different peoples and cultures. OAT really shines! And I especially like the side stops where local people were plying their trades. Weaving baskets, harvesting, cinnamon, hunting, tarantulas for the market, pounding rice to make rice noodles. All fascinating, enlightening, and humblinRead more about review stating Thrilling dream retirement trip!g. Not to mention visiting, Angkor Wat! The accommodations were great, and the food wonderful. I highly recommend this trip!” —Ann K.

#3: The Caribbean 7-DAY CRUISE ON NORWEGIAN VIVA: Barbados, Antigua, and Saint Lucia 

Norwegian Cruises’ newest ship to splash and join the fleet is the Viva. It is a state-of-the-art ship equipped with all the amenities and facilities to make your journey comfortable and memorable. 

The 7-day cruise on Norwegian Viva is an exciting way to explore the Caribbean, with ports of call including Barbados, Antigua, and Saint Lucia, all departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

During your cruise, you’ll have the opportunity to explore each of the three beautiful Caribbean islands. In Barbados, you can enjoy the island’s famous beaches, explore historic Bridgetown, or take a tour of Harrison’s Cave. In Antigua, you can visit the historic Nelson’s Dockyard or relax on one of the island’s many beautiful beaches. In Saint Lucia, you can explore the island’s lush rainforest, visit the Pitons, or take a dip in the famous Sulphur Springs.

The Norwegian Viva also offers a variety of dining options, including specialty restaurants, buffets, and cafes, all featuring delicious cuisine prepared by expert chefs. You’ll also have access to onboard entertainment, including Broadway-style shows, live music, and themed parties.

#4: Inside Japan Tours’ Tokaido Trail

Inside Japan Tours takes a slightly different approach to small group tours. Instead of chartering buses to take tour participants from place to place, Inside Japan Tours guides show you how to use the efficient Japanese subway and rail systems and give you plenty of free time to see the sights that interest you. You’ll also be asked to carry your own luggage. In return, you’ll discover the wonders of Tokyo, Kyoto, Kamakura and Hakone on the Tokaido Trail tour .

During your time in Tokyo, you’ll explore historic Asakusa, modern Harajuku and vibrant Shinjuku. In Kamakura, you can visit shrines and temples, take a long walk through the town or stroll on the beach. From there, you will move to Hakone, at the foot of Mount Fuji. Hot springs, hiking and museums are just some of Hakone’s attractions. In Kyoto, tour the Geisha district, visit the Golden Pavilion, explore one of many UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the city or take the train to Hiroshima or Nara.

Inside Japan Tours does not charge a single supplement on the Tokaido Trail tour; solo travelers will be given single rooms in Western-style hotels, but will need to share a room with a roommate of the same gender during the two nights spent in a ryokan (traditional, Japanese-style lodgings). Airport transfers, baggage handling, entrance fees, public transportation costs, lunches and most dinners are not included.

It’s important to note that the tour demands a lot of walking and carrying your own bags, so good physical fitness is required.

“A great trip and we think we probably learned, heard and saw so much more and much less stressfully than we would have done left to our own devices!” —Fiona, United Kingdom

#5: A Do-It-Yourself Learning Vacation: Oxford University

An interesting way to spend your vacation is to learn something new! We are certainly never too old to go back to the classroom seats. Oxford University offers adults from around the world the opportunity to take one-week courses at its celebrated campus in the United Kingdom. Topics vary from year to year, but typically include creative writing, Shakespeare, philosophy, British literature and poetry.

You can apply for the program in February; early application is advisable, especially for solo travelers, as single accommodations fill very quickly. If you are accepted, you will need to complete a preliminary reading assignment and write an essay before your course begins. Further assignments will be determined by your course tutor. You’ll have time to explore the local area on your own during the week.

If you book on-campus accommodation at Rewley House, your room, board and tuition are all included in your quoted rate. You also have the option to find your own lodgings in Oxford. Airfare and ground transportation are not included.

This type of vacation is perfect for you if you are academic and curious.

#6: A Do-It-Yourself Brandywine Valley Vacation

Chemist E. I. du Pont made his fortune manufacturing gunpowder in Delaware’s Brandywine River valley, and built his Georgian mansion, Eleutherian Mills, near his powder mill on the riverbank. Today, you can tour the famous Brandywine Valley estates that belonged to succeeding generations of du Ponts.

Begin at the Hagley Museum and Gardens , where E. I. built his powder mill. Explore riverside paths and take a guided tour of Eleutherian Mills. Then, drive north to Winterthur Museum and Gardens , the most famous of the du Pont mansions. This immense estate includes 1,000 acres of gardens as well as the elegant Winterthur mansion, a showcase of the best in American decorative arts.

Continue your journey at the Nemours Mansion and Gardens . Take a guided tour of the French-style mansion and formal gardens, which are reminiscent of those at Versailles.

Finally, head across the Pennsylvania state line to Longwood Gardens . Wander through the outdoor gardens, watch a fountain show and explore the Conservatory. For deeper insight into Longwood Gardens’ history and the vision of Pierre du Pont, who created Longwood Gardens, buy a ticket for an Insider Tour or join an educational walk.

In order to make the most of your mansion and garden tours, plan to spend a night or two in a Brandywine Valley B&B or hotel. If you visit during the summer months, plan your itinerary and make reservations well in advance of your arrival. You’ll need a car to explore the Brandywine Valley on your own. Tip: Nemours Mansion and Gardens is open May through December only, and is closed on Mondays.

How to Fight the Single Supplement

A single supplement is a fee or surcharge that a solo traveler must pay in order to occupy a hotel room or ship state room alone. Single supplements can range from negligible to 100% of the double-occupancy rate.

Why Do Travel Providers Charge Single Supplements?

Tour operators and cruise lines normally base their prices on a per-person, double occupancy model. They do this because most hotel rooms and ship staterooms are built for two people. Solo travelers are often assessed a single supplement to cover the cost of not filling the second space in their room.

Tips for Avoiding the Single Supplement

• Plan your travel during the off-season. Travel providers may be willing to negotiate with you in order to fill beds and tour spots.
• Join a solo travelers’ group. You can find groups in your area or start your own at MeetUp.com . These groups often sponsor their own trips or have connections to travel agents and tour operators that cater to solo travelers.
• If traveling in organized tours is not your thing, book your own solo itinerary. Rent a one-bedroom vacation apartment or find a room via Airbnb.com. Read up on safety concerns. Meet your host or landlord and find out about public transportation and local attractions. Then strike out on your own and explore your surroundings. Consider booking a day trip or walking tour if you prefer traveling with a guide.
• Find a travel agency that specializes in singles’ travel, and ask about trips for people in your age group. Friendship Travel , based in Northern Ireland, offers vacations in Europe, the Caribbean and Africa; some trips are reserved for travelers age 50 or older.

A Sampling of Solo-Friendly Tour Operators and Cruise Lines

Norwegian Cruise Lines Norwegian Epic made the news with its Studio staterooms, specifically designed for solo travelers, and the Studio Complex and Lounge, which are for Studio passengers’ exclusive use. Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Getaway, and Pride of America also feature Studio staterooms.

The Schooner Lewis R. French , whose captain is a member of the Maine Windjammer Association, offers three- to six-night coastal Maine windjammer cruises. The schooner has five single cabins, and you won’t be charged a single supplement. You can even help sail the ship. Tip: There’s only one hot water shower onboard, so you’ll have to take turns.

Tauck offers single supplement waivers on select land tour departure dates. And, for river cruise fans, Tauck River Cruises waives the single supplement on Category 1 staterooms.

Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) waives the single supplement on some of its trips, including select small ship adventures. OAT also offers roommate matching.

Perks of travelling single with Intrepid

Single and keen to mingle?

Our trips can be great for singles over 50 and 60 as we take care of safety, logistics and transport so you can focus your time on the joy of travel. We don’t offer the classic ‘singles-only’ tours, but we do provide the perfect base for people looking to get to know others, usually a varied mix of ages, nationalities, cultures and more. Since our tours are so diverse, this could mean you’re on a trip with couples in their 40s, singles in their 20s, family groups or people travelling on their own in their fifties and beyond. Our tours aren’t specifically designed for making perfect matches, but hey, if it happens, it happens .

Small numbers, big sites

The best part of travelling in a small group is the friends you can make in the most unlikely of places – we’re talking while hiking the Inca Trail or cooking dhal in  Sri Lanka . It also means a bunch of new faces to share the world’s most epic experiences with and a few people around to watch your back (especially when walking through a traffic crossing in Vietnam ). No matter who you’re sharing your tour with, you’ll be docking at unbelievable sites, meeting local people and getting a one-of-a-kind journey - single or not, we think that's pretty epic.

Safety and logistics

Travelling solo at any age can feel like a big deal, especially when venturing to far-off places. That’s why small group tours are the perfect fit, no matter if you’re travelling alone at 25 or 65. We’ll do the planning, manage the itinerary, handle the transport and keep safety in mind - all so you can immerse yourself to the max. Not to mention, your guide will be able to support you with potential language barriers, give recommendations, show you the best spots for photos and so much more. Don’t just take our word for it, find out for yourself.

Local knowledge and unique perspectives

Maybe you’ve already seen the big sites and now looking for a different experience or new perspective. That’s where we come in. Our tours are led by our Local Leaders, all of whom are experts in their corner of the world and are out there showing it to others right now. Their knowledge of their country’s attractions, delicacies, cultures and communities is something you probably won’t get to experience elsewhere. Find yourself ducking into unknown hotspots and learning more than just the basics when you’re on one of our tours.

Recent tour reviews

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travellers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travellers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Who are Intrepid travellers?

Intrepid adventures are for travellers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're travelling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travellers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m travelling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travellers join because they are travelling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognising that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travellers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travellers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by travelling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re travelling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organised on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travellers with another traveller of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re travelling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travellers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.

What Our Clients Say

20 out of 10.

The trip was just great - I can't really think of any negatives. Diane will back me up when I say I usually give 10/10s - I gave her 20/10. Trish, Canada/Alaska

Excellent trip

I found the overall trip excellent. I believe Diane's professionalism, inclusive personality and ability to relate to all contributed to this. She worked to ensure the group was cohesive without individuals impinging on the personal space of others etc. a good skill to have and one she applied effectively. Kate, Canada/Alaska

Fantastic value for money

Fantastic value for money paid. Russell our guide is an asset to your company... he was fantastic! Overall the trip was magical from start to finish. Well done Two's a Crowd ... the best trip ever. Barbara, Canada/Alaska

Fantastic first solo trip

I had a fantastic trip. Absolutely loved Canada and Alaska. It's the first time I have travelled solo and was pleasantly surprised to find a bunch of people that all got on so well. Diane our host was great. She did a good job of getting us altogether for meals, excursions, shopping trips etc. I liked that she quietly got things done without being loud or "in-your-face". She was good at being one of us as well as our leader. Wendy, Canada/Alaska

Good balance of activities and spare time

Had a great time. Good mixture of organised activities and spare time. Diane was an excellent tour host. Russell the tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and personable with his insights into growing up and living in Canada. Sharon, Canada/Alaska

Well organised trip with an excellent host

The trip was well organised, with a good mix of activity and free time. The scenery was spectacular and fellow travellers were a great bunch. Diane is a excellent host - helpful, courteous and above all a pleasure to know. I found her bubbly personality a bonus and can only speak highly of her. Gary, Canada/Alaska

I had a fabulous time

I had a fabulous time. Lake Louise and the hotel were magnificent. The cruise was excellent. Diane made sure that she was available for group meals and sightseeing, and was alway in good humour and great fun. I would recommend your company to everyone and am very interested in the Scandinavia  tour at the end of 2017.

Cathy, Adelaide - Canada/Alaska May 2016

Great holiday

What a great trip! I experienced so much and participated in all that was offered. I had read and reviewed as much as time allowed me but was not prepared for what the trip gave me and that is a better understanding of the beautiful people of both countries. - Lesley on Vietnam/Cambodia

In good company

I thought the suggestions for optional things to do, in the "free" time were very good. So good, we really ended up with very little free time. So much to do! - Mary on Vietnam

Great time together

I found the trip interesting and eye opening with a great overview of both Vietnam and Cambodia. The other travellers on the trip were fabulous and we had a great time together. - Anonymous on Vietnam/Cambodia

Fantastic first experience!

Extremely well organised with fabulous guides throughout - especially in Vietnam! First holiday with your company and certainly not the last. - Glenys on Vietnam

Great group to travel with

Having a small group meant that the days were more relaxed and flexible and I really felt spoilt and looked after. Melinda on Borneo

Thoroughly enjoyed Uganda

Thoroughly enjoyed my trip especially Uganda. There was so much variety of things to do on this trip. Jaros & Julius were great. Thought in Kenya the Maasai Mara were beautiful people, so easy to get along with. Judy

Can’t stop talking about my experience

I just feel so privileged to have shared with the Maasai the most awe-inspiring majestic sights and sounds of Africa. The fantastic memories will be with me forever. Maureen

Absolutely enjoyable

Gillian was a fantastic host. She was there for us from the moment we reached Hotel Troy. Heather on Africa

Best holiday I’ve been on!

One of the best holidays that I have been on - really well organised. I would never have travelled to Vietnam or Cambodia on my own. Bronwyn

Well organised

Fun, well organised and a really great group. Barbara on Vietnam/Cambodia

I found the trip interesting and eye opening with a great overview of both Vietnam and Cambodia. The other travellers on the trip were fabulous and we had a great time together.

Great value

Well done. No complaints. Very pleased with this trip. Great value for my hard earned dollars! Really enjoyed the [Vietnam/Cambodia] tour. 

Fabulous rapport filled with much humour!

A great bunch of people & I can't believe how we all had such a fabulous rapport filled with much humour!!!

I couldn’t fault anything.

The (Uniworld River) cruise was great, I met up with some wonderful people who treated me like part of the family ! The ship & crew were fantastic & the excursions were very good, I couldn't fault anything. I'd recommend this cruise to anyone.  Peter

Informative and educational

The entire trip was one of the most enjoyable and exciting. Also so informative and educational. I was so pleased to make the trip. Wish I was over there in that magical place.  Marjorie

I’ve just returned from the wonderful Kimberley trip.  It was my first experience with Two’s a Crowd and I was delighted.  Kay

Opportunity to experience

I have had the opportunity to experience things I would never had done by myself.  Solo travellers is a fantastic concept and use of social media has been a great way to share and keep in touch with friends and family. Judi

I need not have worried

Being my first tour and a senior member, I admit I was apprehensive but I need not have worried. It was great and I was very well looked after.  Can’t wait to go to Kenya with Two’s a Crowd.  Maureen

Smooth and seamless

A memorable trip of a lifetime, a wish fulfilled.  A fascinating cultural country steeped in history which I found totally enthralling.  Two’s a Crowd service was smooth and seamless.  Pam

A wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience visiting Cambodia and Vietnam and gave me a better understanding of these countries. I had a great time with new friends, we had a good bunch and Leonie was the perfect host. Eric

Value for money

Value for money and outstanding co-operation from your staff and tour operators. Joan

Safe and secure and totally looked after

An awesome adventure for my first time overseas alone.  Leonie was excellent and both guides were also fantastic.  At all times I felt safe and secure and totally looked after.  Melinda

Well done Two’s a Crowd.

Leonie was an excellent host, the ideal person. I never felt any pressure to  be involved in every activity so I could explore alone during free time. Having 2 or 3 nights in most places was great – you could rest up or party. Well done Two’s a Crowd. Jenny

A completely different experience

It was a nice surprise holiday, a completely different experience from all my other holidays. Thanks. Piroska

I’ve had at least 10 travel agents.

In my travelling life, I’ve had at least 10 travel agents.  Two’s a Crowd is the first one where I haven’t had to correct anything in my travel documents.   Piroska

I’m so excited to have found you Two’s a Crowd.

“Finally. A travel company is recognising the needs of people like me”

This is perfect for me.

“I’ve been to Burma but can you please send me some information about other destinations. This is perfect for me.”

I really wanted to meet the people behind it

“I saw your ad in the local paper and could have phoned but I wanted to come in and congratulate you on starting this great business. I really wanted to meet the people behind it.”

Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be!

I’m really enthusiastic about the niche you are determined to cover in the market, and have the feeling stumbling on Two’s a Crowd on the internet was definitely meant to be.

I find them inspirational

Thanks for sending these emails as I find them inspirational and will sit dreaming for the next hour or so.

Thank you for providing a service for people like me

“I am very excited to read about your area of speciality, and look forward to devouring all information that might come my way. Thank you for providing a service for people like me.”

Excellent throughout.

The entire 14 days ran so smoothly from Two's a Crowd booking my flights to  airport transfers and then the 12 days camping in the Kimberley. Excellent throughout. Congratulations. Marjorie

Solo holiday ideas for over 50s and 60s

As the pressures of work and family life often ease in later life, you may find that you have more time to spend on yourself. Whether you've retired from work and want to spend your days travelling the world, or have decided to dedicate a little more Me Time, Explore's solo holidays could your ticket to doing all of the things you've always wanted to do.

Our holidays for single travellers over 50 and over 60 feature a huge range of activities across exciting destinations across the world. From laid back walking explorations to adventurous fully guided trips, our solo holidays cater to all, so you can choose the itinerary that works for you and enjoy an unforgettable adventure holiday.

Solo holidays for over 50s & 60s: Activities

Each itinerary for our over 50s and over 60s solo holidays has been carefully considered. Each has been designed to fully immerse you in the culture and spirit of your destination country, while allowing you to enjoy your surroundings at a pace that suits you through the activities you love most.

Walking holidays for the over 50s and 60s

What better way to enjoy your solo holiday than on foot? We cater to all activity levels and all of our trips feature a clear walking grade to illustrate the difficulty of the route. Enjoy the best of both worlds with our leisurely walking tours for over 50s , such as our best-selling Amalfi Coast Walking trip which is peppered with regular opportunities to savour the delicious local cuisine and wine. Or, choose our Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania on Foot trip to discover a wealth of cultural heritage as you explore UNESCO Heritage Sites and even gain a new skill: bog walking.

For for something a little more challenging, why not tackle our Walking in the Rockies trip , which takes you through the very best Canadian landscapes and offers breathtaking, panoramic views?

Cycling holidays for the over 50s and 60s

If you'd prefer to adventure on two wheels, we offer a range of solo cycling holidays for over 50s to help you see the most of your chosen destination. Like with our walking holidays, you can choose the pace that's right for you. Challenge yourself to our Cycle the Dalmatian Coast trip, and take on moderate terrain as you travel from Split to Dubrovnik enjoying picturesque countryside, ancient cities and beautiful fishing villages, or push yourself with our Southern Oasis Cycling tour; the perfect way to explore Morocco's Draa Valley.

Advice for mature single travellers over 50 and 60

Solo holidays for the over 50s and 60s are a great option if you want to spend some time doing your own thing outside of your typical couple or family holidays - perfect if there's a destination you've always wanted to visit.

To ensure your solo travel is as enjoyable as possible, it's important that you choose the right trip for you. Choose your holiday based on your preferred levels of activity, keeping in mind your usual activity levels to ensure you're not pushing yourself too much. You may also want to consider the climate of the country you're visiting, as extreme heat or cold may make maintaining activity levels more difficult.

Before you book, you should also check the accessibility of your destination. For example, a hilly terrain may be overly challenging if you have mobility issues. If you'd like further information about the accessibility of your chosen tour, the Explore team are on hand to help.

If you need medication, remember to pack enough for the duration of your trip. Keeping them in their original packaging will make it easier to go through customs and it's wise to write down the name of your medication, so you can get more should you run out while you're away.

Enjoy solo travel designed for mature travellers with Explore

Whether you choose our walking or cycling holidays, we'll take care of everything - we'll even provide your bike for your ride - so your only concern is making the most of your over 50s or over 60s adventure holiday. We provide travel, evening accommodation and most meals; full details of what each trip entails can be found on the specific trip pages.

While a solo holiday may sound daunting, you won't actually be travelling alone. You'll travel in a group made up of a mix of other mature solo travellers, couples and famillies.
