Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, is a land steeped in mythology, ancient history, and unspoiled nature, with a rich and diverse history and geography. The package provided by 57hours is an 8-day journey that succinctly blends together sea kayaking and hiking for an immersive coastal experience which is an efficient combination of beauty and accessibility. The package is suitable for a variety of travelers which includes those who are going on their first kayak, as well as those who are seasoned at paddling, owing to the beginner-friendly pace with which daily kayaking routes range from 4 to 7 miles along Crete’s southern coast.
During the trip, you’ll paddle through the clear turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea, explore hidden beaches accessible only by kayak, and hike through the legendary Samaria Gorge — one of Europe’s longest canyons. Along the way, you’ll discover quaint fishing villages, stop at cliffside chapels, and witness spectacular sunsets that only the Mediterranean can deliver. Evenings are spent in cozy, family-run guesthouses where you’ll experience authentic Greek hospitality and enjoy local dishes prepared with fresh ingredients and time-honored traditions.
This 8-day Crete adventure is perfect for beginners and intermediate explorers looking to combine outdoor activity with cultural depth. To attain a good idea, you can picture yourself paddling through the warm, tranquil waters of the Libyan Sea while discovering secluded coves and beaches that are only accessible by kayak. Moreover, along the way, you’ll also visit ancient ruins, Byzantine chapels, and get the opportunity to hike the dramatic Samaria Gorge as well as remote mountain trails,with each tourist spot offering a fresh perspective on the island’s natural and historical beauty.
This 5-day women-only adventure is about more than just reaching the other side of the canyon, as it’s also about personal growth, confidence, and shared strength, and since it has been designed specifically for women, this rim-to-rim trek takes you 23 miles across the Grand Canyon, from the North Rim to the South Rim. Throughout this exciting and exhilarating journey, filled with mind-boggling adventures, you’ll hike through some of the most stunning and geologically rich terrain on Earth, get the opportunity to sleep under the stars, and bond with a group of like-minded adventurers, making every step taken by you deepening your connection to this majestic landscape and your own resilience. The journey includes a pre- and post-hike hotel stay, but during the trek, it’s all about backcountry camping, cooking together, and truly being present in nature, allowing you to fully engross yourself in the journey that amounts to daily distances that range from 8 to 12 miles with significant elevation gain and loss, making physical preparation important as well.
This Grand Canyon adventure is designed specifically for women who are ready to take on a meaningful physical challenge while building connections along the way. Over five unforgettable days, you’ll hike from one rim of the canyon to the other, which is a distance of approximately 23 miles taking you through some of the most dramatic and diverse landscapes on the planet. The journey takes you from cool, forested high elevations down into the heart of the desert, which offers you a front-row seat to the Grand Canyon’s stunning range of ecosystems, and the nights that are spent camping under wide-open skies filled with stars, help create the kind of stillness and awe you can’t find anywhere else.
To those people who dream of hiking in the Alps but want to balance adventure with comfort, this 8-day "Hidden Mont Blanc" tour is for you. With the trip based in the charming town of Chamonix, it takes you through lesser-known alpine trails that reveal the quieter, more intimate side of the Mont Blanc massif, and provide you with a unique opportunity to spend your nights at a 5-star mountain residence complete with spa amenities, and make this one of the most comfortable and rejuvenating ways to experience the grandeur of the Alps. Each day, you’ll hike around 6 miles through wildflower-filled meadows, past glacial valleys, alpine lakes, and up scenic ridgelines that offer breathtaking views of Europe’s highest peak, coupled with plenty of time allocated for rest, local dining, cultural excursions, and post-hike relaxation, which makes this guided trip the perfect mixture of effort and indulgence. Alongside, you will also enjoy chef-prepared meals, get the opportunity to unwind in a private spa, and gain insight from expert mountain guides who share the hidden stories of the Alps.
If you love the idea of hiking through the Alps but also enjoy the finer things, like a warm spa and a great meal, this Mont Blanc adventure is the best of both worlds. Each day, you’ll set off on guided hikes that take you along peaceful alpine trails and to some truly breathtaking viewpoints, which makes the trip a sought-after one for most tourists who never get to see such splendour. Following this, you get the opportunity to kick off your boots and relax in a luxury spa, maybe even with a glass of wine in hand. The trip also brings you closer to the local culture, with delicious alpine food, friendly faces, and a chance to learn about Chamonix’s deep mountaineering roots, and along the way, you’ll spot wildflowers, glaciers, and maybe even some local wildlife, with naturalist guides who know all the hidden details. It’s a great choice if you like your adventures with a side of comfort—perfect for solo travelers, couples, or small groups who want a mix of nature, culture, and some well-earned downtime.
