About Adventurous Ewe

We are a small team of experienced adventure travel, event management and third sector specialists who combine a passion for exploration, ethical & sustainable event delivery with a high level of professionalism and excitement. Adventurous Ewe designs and delivers incredible outdoor challenges for people, charities or companies looking to achieve greater things.

In 2007 Jim Young founded Adventurous Ewe following a jam packed 8 years of grassroots guiding across 4 continents for Exodus Travels. Discovering vast countries, cultures, environments, mountains, deserts, coasts and jungles; and always up for taking the path less travelled. Furnished with a huge passion for adventure travel, Jim returned to his home in Snowdonia with a burning desire to create authentic, personable, fun and ethical travel experiences in his homeland. Adventurous Ewe has since grown to provides extraordinary adventure travel experiences across the planet in a safe, sustainable, meaningful and fun manner with real connections to people and places. But the only thing that hasn’t changed is Jim’s inherent belief in the core values below that continue to inspire the heart and soul of the company today. ....less

INNOVATIVE AND UNIQUE ADVENTURES
Relentless curiosity about exploring this vast planet ignites our passion to create new and uniquely tailored experiences to share with our flock which are away from well-trodden tourist trails and and not following the masses. Whatever trip you choose, we strive to enhance your journey with authentic experiences, cultural exchange, enjoyable & safe exploration and stepping outside your comfort zone with like-minded people.

Whilst we offer some of the classic destinations as they are just too good to miss, we also aim to venture off the beaten track. To discover new adventures in some of the more remote and less travelled places on the planet. Keep a look out for some new pioneering adventures launching soon to Colombia, Georgia and Sri Lanka to name a few. ....less

Travel is a force for good. At Adventurous Ewe we believe that our type of small scale, positive impact tourism can bring benefits to many communities, help preserve the environments we travel to see, and provide real and positive social exchanges.

Since our very first days as a tour operator, responsible business has been at the heart of what we do. Adventurous Ewe is committed not just to treading lightly, but to making a real difference – by supporting local communities, wildlife conservation projects and the environment. We’re all about operating in a responsible manner and incorporating principles of sustainable tourism and development into the way we provide our travellers with real life experiences. These values are more than just words; they’re ingrained in the culture and daily operations of the Adventurous Ewe team and on every trip.

Our sustainable and regenerative steps towards building tourism better:

Become carbon neutral operator through our carbon management program, which includes an emission reduction initiative in our office and on all our trips.
In our office, we have natural lighting via the installation of velux windows, we recycle and reuse wherever possible, and only print when absolutely necessary.
During our UK trips, we recycle and do not use any single use plastics. Lunch packs are provided locally using local produce and do not contain any plastic wrappings.
For our overseas trips, our adventurers are given a complimentary Adventurous Ewe Water-to-Go bottle to avoid purchasing bottled water.
Our itineraries promote train or bus travel as opposed to internal flights, ie. Kings Trail Arctic Snowshoe Expedition for travel between Stockholm and Abisko and all UK based trips.
Use of homestay style accommodation to support local communities at the grass roots whilst also providing a more meaningful travel experience, ie. Costa Rica Coast to Coast homestay.
Increasing the number of female leaders and giving opportunities to young leaders, ie. Adventurous Ewe Trainee Leader programme with Kat Roberts and Aussie Els .
Our Leaders & Crew are supplied with merino wool based Adventurous Ewe t-shirts from Ashmei as opposed to synthetic based fabrics. Merino wool can be recycled or it’s completely biodegradable. Ashmei only source merino wool from happy sheep. They have hundreds of acres of land to explore, encounter no artificial chemicals and are NEVER molested.
Overall, we live and breathe green both in our work and personal lives. It’s part of our lifestyle. ....less
