Which companies run active group trips for solo travellers, such as surfing, yoga and hiking?

Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel solo and small-group tour operators table holds 110 companies: the small-group operators, solo-only, women-only and age-banded companies and group surf, yoga and sailing weeks ChatGPT names most often when asked about solo and small-group travel. Their own websites were read on 11 November 2026, with their Google and Trustpilot listings matched by name. This page carries the 67 companies in the table that, on their own websites, sell group trips built on an activity such as hiking, surfing, yoga or cycling, where that can be shown in their own words with any price dated; a line that rests only on a price with no year is left out. For companies that also sell private or tailor-made trips, the cards speak of their group departures only. Cards are in alphabetical order. Each line on a card gives what the company's own website says, with a link to the page it came from; a second reader checked 666 of the table's rows against the pages. No company paid to be on this page.

Which of these show a dated price on this page?

24 of the 67 cards show a published trip price with its year, in the currency the company writes it. Ask every company for a written quote for your departure, with the single supplement if you travel alone.

Who to contact first

Start with the 40 companies on this page that publish their prices and cancellation charges, then add any other card that fits your dates and budget.

What to ask each one to set out in writing:

The total price per person in writing and what it includes: hotels, meals, transport, activities, entrance fees and any internal flights.
The single supplement on your departure, or whether the company will pair you with a roommate and what happens if no roommate is found.
The largest group on your departure, how many are booked so far and whether the departure is guaranteed to run.
The deposit, when the balance is due, the cancellation charges by date and how your payment is protected (ATOL, ABTA, USTOA or a trust account).

Active group trips: the questions people ask

What should I ask a tour company before booking?

The total price per person and what it includes; the single supplement or whether it will pair you with a roommate; the largest group on your departure and whether it is guaranteed to run; the deposit, the cancellation charges and how your payment is protected.

Can I book with these companies directly?

Yes. Each card links the company's own website or enquiry page; ask for a written quote for your departure that lists what the price includes and the cancellation charges.

Do these companies all sell the same kind of trip?

No. Some run small-group departures open to everyone; some run trips only for solo travellers, women or an age band; others run surf, yoga or sailing weeks. Each card says what the company sells, so compare the cards before you ask for quotes.

What is a single supplement?

The extra a solo traveller pays for a room alone. Some companies charge none on some departures; others pair solo travellers with a roommate instead; ask each company for its figure on your departure.

Which of these have the most Google reviews?

FTLO Travel, TruTravels and Sailweek, in that order. A count says how many people reviewed a company, not whether it fits your trip; each card gives the rating and count, read 11 November 2026.

Which of these publish their single supplement?

33 of the 67 publish their single supplement terms on their own websites. Ask each for the figure on your departure.

Which of these publish their cancellation charges?

56 of the 67 publish their cancellation charges on their own websites. Ask each for the full terms in writing before you pay a deposit.

Which of these say how your payment is protected?

21 of the 67 say on their own websites how traveller payments are protected (ATOL, ABTA, USTOA, a trust account or a bond). Check each with its issuer before you book.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is in the Uncompromised Travel solo and small-group tour operators table, built from the companies ChatGPT names most often when asked about solo and small-group travel. On its own website it sells group trips built on an activity such as hiking, surfing, yoga or cycling. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be on it.
