We had a fantastic bike trip to the eastern shore of Maryland. We were in Easton, Oxford, and Backwater. Our guides were professional and well prepared. We brought our own bikes. The instructions that were sent out were great and helpful. The meals were fantastic. The accommodations were great. My girlfriend and I were very satisfied!

We never did get as much pre-conditioning done as we needed to, but managed to ride 111 miles of the itinerary out of the possible 147 total miles. The guides were so so helpful in all ways and we rode sections in the van when we needed to. The lunches and morning and afternoon snacks had enough choices to accommodate all. Each of the night time stays were unique and memorable. We will do another tour again.

Trip Advisor

Raina and Taylor went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a great experience on the GAP trail from Pittsburgh to Maryland. They are a valuable asset to your organization and were a large part of why the trip was such a success. Thank you for an enjoyable adventure.

Great Trip! It rained 5 days of the 6 day tour and we still enjoyed ourselves. Wilderness Voyageurs had the logistics planned out perfectly! Saw cute towns and did some uphill and downhill biking. They even added short sightseeing tours. This is more than a bike ride; it's a vacation!

Gail Michigan

Wilderness Voyageurs has been a great partner with the Laurel Highlands Council in forming the boys who participate in our program into the men who will lead us into tomorrow. Their familiarity with the aims and methods of Scouting is evident in the way their guides instruct and inspire the boys to embrace the adventures of life and allow that experience to deepen their pursuit of character, citizenship and fitness.

Our 2023-24 Adventures

Swiss alps snow adventure.

On  March 14 to 17 2024 (Thursday to Sunday), we’ll bring 50 members of the VOYAGERS family for our third special weekend snow adventure in the Swiss Alps. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of industries and geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. To reserve your place, click on the “Join The Swiss Alps Snow Adventure” link near the bottom of this page.

Iceland Climate-Tech Adventure

On May 25 to 28 2023 , we’ll bring our VOYAGERS climate-tech community to Iceland for a special three-night networking adventure. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of climate-related projects from many geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. We asked participants on our last Iceland adventure: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.2 out of 10.

Spanish Camino Hiking Adventure

On June 15 to 18 2023 , we’ll bring the VOYAGERS community on a special three-night, four-day hiking adventure in Galicia, northern Spain. We’re running this weekend at cost, with a mission to build close friendships among VOYAGERS working across a diverse range of industries and geographies – startup founders, investors, researchers, activists and many more. We asked past participants in this adventure: “Overall, how would you rate the adventure on a scale from 0 [worst] to 10 [best]?” Their average score was 9.4 out of 10.

Edinburgh Fringe Festival Adventure

On August 8 to 11 2023 , we will take 40 people to experience the magnificent chaos that is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We’ll take over a beautiful 18th-century castle outside Edinburgh with connections to Mary Queen of Scots, so that we have an oasis of calm to return to after each day’s cornucopia of performances. We’ll use our arts-media network to get tickets to shows that stimulate and intrigue, but we’ll also make time for spontaneity, for participants to find and drop into some of the off-beat, unique offerings that make the fringe so special. Our team has designed this adventure to balance the guided and critically filtered with the utterly unpredictable, so participants experience the festival at its best.

Portugal Health-Tech Adventure

For the third year, we’re taking up to 50 VOYAGERS to Portugal’s wine country on October 7 to 10 2023 for a three-day health-tech networking adventure. This adventure had feedback of 9.4 out of 10 in 2021. That’s because we carefully curate the agenda to connect VOYAGERS at a deep level – through activities ranging from river trekking to participating in the grape harvest and health-tech workshops.

Italian Palazzo Health-Tech Adventure

On July 7 to 10 2022 , VOYAGERS took 50 people working in health-tech on an Italian Palazzo Adventure. Based in a historic palace in Petritoli, Le Marche, we spent three intense days truffle-hunting, mountain-biking, snow hiking, pasta-making, wine-sampling, clock-tower climbing, Werewolf-playing, speakeasy-embracing, town-square dancing, opera-house performing, storytelling and generally building a warm friendship group.

Life beyond 50+ is so exciting, especially when you are with like-minded young people and want to enjoy life like kid. This is how I would like to summarize 50+ Voyagers. My mom for the first time travelled alone with a group of strangers but she came back with lifelong friends and memories to cherish. I am so glad that I could facilitate creating this memory for her during recent Ladakh trip. Very well organised, all thanks to Sangita who personally took care of everyone on the trip. Pictures of this event are saying a lot more. How I wish I was 50+ too ! Looking forward to creating more memories for my mom with you.

The life starts at 50 is what I fully endorse after joining Ladakh trip 3rd-11th August 2016. Every person has a child within, let it come out and there can be no better way than joining 50+ Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club. I was a bit skeptical and apprehensive of joining it but now I think it has been my one of the best decisions to be a part of it. The itinerary was properly planned right from the flights to hotels to sightseeing. Everything was hassle free. In a nut shell it was adventurous, amazing and awesome experience. Thank you Sangita for making me feel younger and healthier.

Due to the age factor (78+), going alone anywhere gives me a little scare. When I came to know about 50+ Voyagers and booked Coorg tour with them, I was in the beginning skeptical how the services would be. However, when the day arrived to commence the 3 days holidays, everything from pick up from my house till they dropped me back at home - went off in the most pleasant and smooth manner. The accommodation was the best one could imagine nice cottages among a 250 acres of coffee estate, where nature showed its splendor. I would say that 50+ Voyagers is the ideal organization to look for those who have crossed 50. The service rendered by them is superb. I am looking forward to my next holiday with 50+ Voyagers.

At the outset, my wife (aged 66 with knee problem) and I (70 years) were apprehensive as to whether we would be able to undertake the Himachal Pradesh tour given mountainous and hilly area conditions. Well after horse-riding at Kufri, I could see from expressions on the face of my wife that she had got her confidence back and had almost forgotten her knee pain. Advantage of travelling with 50+ Voyagers is that all are of almost same age, group being almost on same wave length, customized visiting places, cohesiveness and careful planning. I recommend to my friends of above fifty to avail themselves of the facilities provided by the 50+ Plus Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club. I am sure you will agree that age is just a number.

3 Cheers 50+ Voyagers for arranging this wonderful tour to Kenya. One of the most amazing, satisfying and enjoyed tours to Kenya. Did not realise how one week just flew. Still living in the world of the wild animals and keep looking at all the pictures. Though it was a very rough terrain with no roads we did not feel it then. Was it the company we were in or just being amongst nature ? It was worth it and would love to take more tours with them. Going to Nagaland Hornbill Festival with 50+ Voyagers in December. Hats off to 50+ Voyagers Travel and Adventure Club for catering to us 60+

It was my 5th trip with 50+ Voyagers, when I went on a 8 day trip to Sri Lanka ! My first international! Everything was taken care well - My safety being a single lady, the company that I want, to share my views and experiences while travelling together with like minded, same aged men and women who are relaxed with no hassles of not getting leave from work place, and with relaxed mindset to enjoy life after finishing duties towards children.. what more you want? In the last trip to Srilanka, I found myself climbing 1700 steps to top of lion rock fort at 200ft height which I thought was unbelievable!

Inspiring Tales of Legendary Explorers and Modern-Day Voyagers

Posted: December 26, 2023 | Last updated: December 26, 2023

Explorers in extreme conditions

The world wouldn’t be what it is today without the fearlessness of its most intrepid explorers, who have gone beyond borders and faced abominable conditions to find out more about our planet. From legendary expeditioners who risked their lives in the name of adventure to modern-day voyagers who have broken seemingly impossible world records, here's a look at some of the world's most courageous explorers throughout the centuries.

When Jules Verne published his novel Around the World in 80 Days in 1873, it captured everyone's imagination including pioneering American journalist Elizabeth Cochrane. Writing under the name Nellie Bly, she decided to take on the challenge of beating the fictional world record. Her editor at the New York World newspaper declared a woman would not be able to travel with few enough items to make the trip, but Bly proved him wrong by taking just the clothes she was wearing plus a small bag.

The Oceanic landed in San Francisco on 22 January 1890. Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of the New York World newspaper, commissioned a private train, the Nellie Bly Special, to bring her back to New Jersey completing the 2,577-mile journey across America in just 69 hours. Nellie arrived back on 25 January 1890 having circumnavigated the globe in 72 days, six hours and 11 minutes, beating the fictional character Phileas Fogg’s time by more than seven days.

Robert Falcon Scott

However, the expedition was ill-equipped and the sledges, dogs and horses the team took with them were unable to cope with the temperatures. The dog team turned back, leaving just Scott and four other adventurers, Oates (pictured), Evans, Wilson and Bowers to press on. On 17 January 1912 they arrived at the South Pole, only to discover they’d been beaten to it by a Norwegian group led by Roald Amundsen.

Scott’s team had to make the return journey and it was then that tragedy struck, with Evans dying in mid-February 1912 and Oates suffering from frostbite and gangrene walking out to his death in the cold to avoid holding the others back. The remaining three adventurers probably died of starvation in March 1912 and were discovered eight months later. Once considered a hero, Scott has been a controversial figure, with much criticism of his handling of the expedition in more recent years. 

Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton

While the legendary adventurer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton never achieved his goal of being the first person to reach the South Pole, his determination and bravery marks him among Britain’s most celebrated explorers. He undertook three expeditions to the Antarctic in the early 20th century, all while suffering from a hole in the heart, which often left him breathless, fatigued and feeling weak. But his calm leadership proved decisive in handling dangerous situations and saving the lives of his crew.

The six men spent 16 days navigating 800 miles of ocean to reach the remote island of South Georgia. They then trekked across the island to a whaling station where they sought help. The remaining men marooned on Elephant Island were rescued in August 1916. Not one member of Shackleton's crew died. The expedition's photographer, Frank Hurley, took some of the most memorable pictures of the South Pole too. 

Louise Arner Boyd

Arner Boyd became fascinated by Greenland in the early 1920s after taking a cruise to the unforgiving landscape of Franz Josef Land in the Arctic Circle. In 1928, when the polar explorer Roald Amundsen vanished while flying over Greenland, Arner Boyd chartered a ship, The Hobby, and assembled a crew in an attempt to find him. Although she was unsuccessful, she found her calling in life as an Arctic explorer. She made many trips to the frozen north, took hundreds of photos, charted unknown areas and recorded new species.

Dame Freya Stark

Jacques Cousteau

Prime time TV for millions during the late 1960s and 1970s was watching  The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau . The French explorer enthralled viewers with images of life below the ocean waves that had never been seen before. Cousteau started his love affair with the water in 1936 when he took up swimming as therapy after a car crash. Then, in 1942, he traveled to Embiez, an island in the Mediterranean and made his first underwater film  18 Meters Deep,  which won an Oscar.

Cousteau invented an improved aqua-lung and in 1950, from his ship The Calypso, he made an award-winning movie The Silent World. He led expeditions under the Red Sea and Indian Ocean and in 1961 received the National Geographic Society medal from President Kennedy and in 1985 the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 1974, he founded the Cousteau Society dedicated to marine conservation to highlighting the damage being done to the oceans. Cousteau continued to work until his death in 1997.

Sir Edmund Hillary

The pair, pictured here, made history succeeding where many others had failed before them. While Hillary, who died in 2008, is best remembered for his mountaineering, he also made an expedition to the Antarctic. In 1958 he led the New Zealand team of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) to become the first person to see the South Pole since Scott in 1912 and the first to get there by vehicle.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes

Less than four months after a huge heart attack, double bypass and a three-day coma, Fiennes achieved the first 7x7x7, completing seven marathons in seven consecutive days on all seven continents. He’s also won world records for being the first to reach both Poles, the first to cross the Antarctic and Arctic Ocean, the first to circumnavigate the world along its polar axis and the oldest Briton to conquer Mount Everest (despite being afraid of heights).

Along the way, Fiennes has had to summon incredible courage to deal with the natural obstacles he’s met, such as dealing with frostbite on an expedition to Antarctica during the polar winter, which he nicknamed "The Coldest Journey" due to temperatures dropping to as low as -180 ° F . During a previous Arctic adventure, he cut off his fingertips and the top of his thumb after experiencing painful frostbite. As his expeditions were also fundraisers, he has donated millions to many charities.

Junko Tabei

Tabei didn’t stop at Everest: she tackled summits in over 70 countries, and earned the title of the first woman in the world to ascend the highest summit on each of the seven continents. Despite being diagnosed with cancer, Tabei never stopped climbing, with her last ascent Mount Fuji, accompanied by students affected by the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. She was also a campaigner for sustainable mountaineering, saying of Mount Everest: “Everest has become too crowded. It needs a rest now."

Alan Chambers MBE

Ed Stafford

British explorer Ed Stafford became the first man to walk the length of the Amazon, earning him a Guinness World Record. After retiring from the Army in 2002, he began leading charity expeditions to the jungles of Belize. That was only the beginning of a catalog of perilous explorations, which included being dropped off alone on an uninhabited island in the Pacific with no food, water, or tools to see if he could survive for 60 days. He filmed his experience for the Discovery Channel.

On walking the Amazon River, Stafford tells us: “No one had done it before and most people told me I would surely die. I actually did get held up at gunpoint several times by drug traffickers and at arrow-point by angry local tribes, and once I even got arrested for suspected murder. But I managed to stay alive and completed the journey in August 2010 after 860 days of walking.”

Sarah Outen MBE

British athlete and adventurer Sarah Outen has achieved more in her 35 years than most people could hope to in a lifetime . Her four-and-a-half-year "London2London: via the World" trip saw her kayak, row and cycle 25,000 miles around the Northern Hemisphere, battling tropical storms, blizzards, hurricanes, post-traumatic stress disorder, pneumonia and even capsizing five times.

As the first woman to row solo across the North Pacific Ocean, Outen encountered sharks, violent storms and even hallucinations as she made the journey of over 4,000 miles, which was just one leg of her epic trip. Freezing temperatures, thick fog and poor light meant that at times she was confined to her cabin for days, and that her life was in very real danger at the hands of the elements.

Jessica Watson

Now aged 27, Watson was named Young Australian of the Year 2011, a well-deserved accolade for the challenges she faced on her journey, including colliding with a 63,000-ton ship, ferocious waves reaching up to 50 feet, prolonged isolation, seven knockdowns and fierce winds. Watson filmed her epic journey and the story is now being adapted into a TV film . A truly remarkable story of a remarkable young woman.

Alex Honnold

One wrong move and Honnold would have plunged to his death, all while being filmed too, as the incredible story was being made into a movie, Free Solo , that won best documentary feature at the 2019 Oscars. For the film, Honnold’s brain was scanned and it was discovered he doesn’t compute fear in the same way as the rest of us. It must run in the family as Honnold's mum, Dierdre Wolownick, is the oldest woman to scale El Capitan too.

Deseret News archives: Utahns have always had a fascination with Thor Heyerdahl, Kon-Tiki voyage

On april 28, 1947, explorer began ambitious ocean adventure.

By Chris Miller

A look back at local, national and world events through Deseret News archives.

As a child growing up in northern Utah in the 1970s, my father helped broaden my world with stories of famous baseball players, camping in the great outdoors ... and Thor Heyerdahl.

The tale of Heyerdahl, the Norwegian adventurer who crossed the Pacific on a balsa log raft and detailed his harrowing 101-day voyage in the book “Kon-Tiki,” continues to intrigue us.

On April 28, 1947, a six-man expedition set out from Peru aboard a balsa wood raft named the Kon-Tiki on a 101-day journey across the Pacific Ocean to the Polynesian Islands.

Utahns have had a fascination with Heyerdahl, as evidenced by the many articles through the years in the Deseret News archives.

Perhaps it is because the Book of Mormon, a sacred text for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, details sea voyages by early cultures in history.

One former BYU professor said the Norwegian’s famous drift voyages proved that similar travel recounted in the Book of Mormon is possible.

The late Paul R. Cheesman , a BYU professor emeritus, attended the Explorers Club Conference in New York on April 8, 1989, where Heyerdahl was the keynote speaker. “Cheesman said the conference gave him the chance to renew a 20-year association with Heyerdahl,” per the article .

Heyerdahl’s belief was that “ancient mariners could have settled Polynesia,” and he was able to replicate the feat. He later traveled in the reed boats Ra, Ra II and Tigris , to test his theory that civilizations were spread by ancient mariners.

Heyerdahl’s books describing his voyages captured the world’s imagination. His film of the 101-day, 4,300-mile Kon-Tiki voyage won an Academy Award in 1951.

Heyerdahl was a hero in his homeland, per his 2002 obituary. A Deseret News editorial following his death hailed the explorer who had “the courage and the curiosity to venture out and shake things up a bit.”

“History books are filled with the adventures of ancient people who wanted to examine the other side of the mountain, the ends of the ocean, or, for that matter, the moon,” the editorial said. “Why should ancient people have been any different?”

One last note: A ride at Utah’s popular Lagoon resort in Davis County has a ride named Kontiki , crafted and decorated similar to Heyerdahl’s boat. It was added to Kiddieland in 2004, according to the LagoonHistory.com website.
