REI Adventures adds 30 new itineraries

Monday, January 29, 2018

REI Adventures, the active travel company of national outdoor co-op REI, announced today at the New York Times Travel Show the launch of 30 new trips.

The itineraries, including the expansion of REI’s easy active and family adventures, position the industry leader for continued growth to meet the diverse interests and abilities of its broadening traveler base. This year also marks the tenth anniversary of REI Adventures’ family adventures.

 
“Our travelers tell us they love active adventures, but don’t always feel they can accomplish a more difficult itinerary, be that out of personal interest or time to physically train for a more intense trip. To meet that need, we’ve expanded our offerings in the easy active category with 14 new itineraries. So far the response has been exciting and we look forward to growing the collection to inspire a life outside,” says Cynthia Dunbar, general manager of REI Adventures.

 
“For the past decade, thousands of families – from parents and their children to multiple generations of a family – have trusted REI to broaden their perspective of the world through transformational experiences where they meet local communities, learn about cultures and historical places, and participate in daily outdoor activities.”

Like all of REI Adventures’ itineraries, the company’s easy active trips are centered on experiencing a destination through daily activity but at a more relaxed pace. The itineraries are ideal for those new to active travel as well as adventurers who have previously participated in a higher intensity trips but seek lower impact and fewer miles covered each day.
