How to read this template
This is a real itinerary, not a preview. Everything below is what an operator would send — and what their guides would carry.
- 5 days
- Each day is a segment. Reorder them, drop one, insert a rest day — the rest of the itinerary follows.
- 39 blocks
- Everything inside a day is a block: a transfer, an activity, a meal, a night, a briefing. Blocks carry their own type and colour.
- 94 fields
- Distances, ascent, times, prices and notes are structured fields, not prose — so they total, sort and export instead of only reading well.
- 9 internal notes
- Marked Internal — guides onlybelow. Your guides get them; your clients never see them.
One itinerary, three audiences
The same content exports three ways without being rewritten: a client PDF with the internal notes and cost lines stripped, a guide sheet that keeps them, and an internal ops sheet with margins. Most tools give you the first one and leave the other two to a spreadsheet.
The itinerary, day by day
Five days, five different adventure sports: trekking, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and canyoning. All based from a single lodge — no transfers between accommodations. Professional instructors for each activity. All equipment provided. Participants need moderate all-round fitness; specialist experience is not required as instruction is included.
Verify adventure sports insurance covers all five activities — standard travel insurance often excludes climbing and canyoning. Collect signed waivers for each activity before Day 2. Note any participant fears (heights, water, enclosed spaces) and plan accordingly — alternatives exist for each activity.
Pickup from the regional airport or train station. The lodge is in a mountain valley surrounded by the terrain that makes each activity possible — rivers, cliffs, trails, and forests all within 30 minutes. The transfer includes a brief tour of the area.
Purpose-built adventure lodge with equipment storage, drying room, workshop area, and outdoor terrace. Twin rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Full board — all meals included. The lodge has a small bar, a climbing wall for evening practice, and a sauna for recovery.
Confirm the lodge can dry three sets of kit at once — wetsuits, bike gear and boots all come back wet on the same days, and one drying room does not cope with a full group.
Introductory hike through the surrounding hills. The guide uses this to assess group fitness, pace, and comfort on different terrain. The route passes the river (tomorrow's kayaking), the crag (Day 4 climbing), and the canyon entrance (Day 5). Beautiful views of the valley from the high point.
Welcome dinner at the lodge. Meet the instructors for each activity. Preview the week's schedule, discuss any concerns, and set expectations. The cook specializes in high-energy meals for active holidays — expect generous portions.
Short drive to the river access point. Equipment trailer with kayaks follows. Change into wetsuits and water shoes at the riverbank. The instructor handles boat allocation based on yesterday's fitness assessment.
Skills session in calm water: paddle strokes, turning, bracing, and wet exit practice. Everyone capsizes at least once in controlled conditions — it removes the fear. Then a warm-up paddle on the flat section before the rapids begin.
Screen swimming ability here, individually and quietly. Multi-sport groups self-select as adventurous and will not volunteer that they are weak in water in front of the others.
Lunch on the riverbank at the halfway point. Wraps, fruit, and hot drinks from a thermos. Dry off in the sun before the afternoon session. The instructor briefs the afternoon route — grade II-III rapids ahead.
The main event — paddling through grade II-III rapids. The instructor leads, calling lines through each rapid. Exciting but manageable with morning skills fresh in mind. The river alternates between fast sections and calm pools for recovery. Finish at the take-out point where the vehicle is waiting.
River rules: PFD worn at all times, helmet secured. If you capsize, feet downstream, on your back, wait for the calm pool. Never stand up in fast-moving water — foot entrapment is the biggest river danger. Throw bags positioned at three points along the rapid section. Instructor carries a pin kit and first aid.
Drive back to the lodge with boats on the trailer. Rinse wetsuit and gear at the lodge wash station. Hot shower and the sauna are calling.
Rest and recovery. Arms and shoulders worked hard today — stretch thoroughly. The lodge's climbing wall is tempting but save energy for biking tomorrow.
Dinner at the lodge. High-protein meal for muscle recovery. Early bed — tomorrow's biking starts at 08:00.
Morning ride on forest single-track. A mix of flowing trail, roots, rocks, and occasional drops. The instructor adjusts the route based on ability — bypasses exist for the most technical sections. Suspension set to mid-travel, tire pressure 1.8-2.2 bar.
Packed lunch at a scenic viewpoint along the trail. Check bikes during the break — brakes, tire pressure, chain. The afternoon loop has more technical terrain so everything needs to be working.
The best trails in the area — purpose-built single-track with berms, jumps (all rollable), and rock gardens. The instructor demonstrates each technical feature before the group rides it. Those wanting more challenge can session the jump line; others take the flow trail.
Match bikes to ability before the trail, not on it. The technical section has one bail-out and it is early — anyone hesitant at the first rock garden takes the fire road instead.
Clean bikes at the lodge wash station. Check for any mechanical issues — the workshop has tools and spares. Stretch legs thoroughly — quads and glutes took a beating on the descents.
Dinner at the lodge. Tomorrow is climbing — the instructor will brief the group on what to expect and how to prepare. Fingers and forearms need to be fresh.
Halfway through the multi-sport week. Three sports done, two to go. Check in with the group — any injuries, concerns, or preferences for the remaining days. Tomorrow's climbing is adjustable: easy top-rope routes for beginners, multi-pitch for experienced climbers.
Assess the group after 3 days of activity. If anyone is significantly fatigued, offer a rest day alternative with a gentle hike or village visit instead of climbing. Check all activity waivers are signed for remaining days.
Morning at the local crag — natural limestone or granite depending on the area. Top-rope and lead climbing routes from grade 4 to 6b. Full instruction provided: harness fitting, knots, belaying, and movement technique. The instructor sets up routes and supervises all climbs. Multi-pitch option for experienced climbers.
Safety brief: helmet mandatory, harness double-back check, figure-8 knot verified before every climb. Belayer must be attentive — no phones while belaying. Call 'climbing' before you start, 'take' when you want to rest on the rope, 'lower' when you're done. The crag has an approach walk of 15 minutes — wear approach shoes, change to climbing shoes at the wall.
Packed lunch in the shade at the base of the crag. Climbing is surprisingly hungry work — forearms burn calories. Drink plenty of water and rest hands between climbs to prevent pump (forearm fatigue).
Free afternoon for recovery. The lodge sauna, pool, or just lounging on the terrace. Hands and forearms need rest before tomorrow's canyoning, which requires grip strength. Massage available at the lodge by appointment.
For those with energy — a gentle sunset walk to the viewpoint above the lodge (30 minutes up), or stroll to the nearby village for an ice cream and local atmosphere. Low effort, high reward.
Special farewell dinner — the cook pulls out all the stops on the penultimate evening. Share week highlights: best moment, scariest moment, proudest achievement. Tomorrow is the grand finale: canyoning.
The week's grand finale — descending a mountain canyon through waterfalls, natural slides, and jump pools. Wetsuit, helmet, and harness provided. The instructor leads, setting ropes for abseils (rappels) and checking each jump pool depth. Spectacular limestone formations, crystal water, and an unforgettable adrenaline rush.
Late brunch at the lodge after canyoning. Hot food, coffee, and the glow of having completed five different adventure sports in five days. Final group photo on the lodge terrace.
For the insatiable — one more ride on the flow trail before departure. A victory lap to round off the week. 10 km, mostly downhill, pure fun.
Transfer to the airport or station. Load bags and say goodbye to the lodge, the instructors, and the valley that hosted five days of adventure. The transfer is a good time to review photos and relive the highlights.
Check out of the lodge. Return any borrowed equipment. Settle extras at reception. Tip the instructors and lodge staff — they made the week possible.
Settle the activity extras at the lodge desk rather than per session — guides do not carry card machines and cash handling across six different sports goes wrong.
Five sports completed: trekking (8 km), kayaking (18 km), mountain biking (40 km), rock climbing (multi-route), and canyoning. Return all personal equipment issued by the lodge. Check for any damage and report honestly. Collect adventure certificates and group photos from the lodge reception.
Equipment inventory check against issue list. Note any damage or loss. Collect all activity waivers and file. Compile week's expenses and submit report. Gather instructor feedback notes for future trip improvements.
Four nights at the adventure lodge on full board with gear storage and a drying room, two guides throughout, all technical equipment for every discipline — kayaks, bikes, climbing hardware and wetsuits — all transfers between venues, all meals, and group safety equipment including first aid and radios.
Personal clothing and footwear for water, riding and walking; travel to the lodge; travel insurance covering all the listed activities; drinks; the optional activities priced separately in the itinerary; and gratuities. Nothing here needs previous experience, but everything needs the right shoes.
The lodge has one drying room. On the days that combine water and riding, everything comes back wet at once — confirm capacity for the group size or the second half of the week starts damp.
Travel insurance must cover every discipline on the itinerary: kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing and canyoning are frequently listed as separate exclusions and a policy covering three of the four is no use. Swimming competence matters twice here — in the river kayak and again in the canyon, where you swim short sections between obstacles whether you planned to or not. Bring photo ID and your insurer's 24-hour number.
Check the policy against the actual list rather than asking whether they are covered for adventure sports. Clients answer yes and mean they have travel insurance.
