Speedbreaks is the activity holiday company version of speedating and offers a number of exciting breaks for single and solos.
Their holidays for single travellers include skiing, snowboarding, tennis, sailing, diving, activity and adventure holidays. They know what it takes to arrange great singles holidays, weekends and days out.
The age range specified is 25 to 45 for most of their singles weekends and holidays. These age ranges are just guidelines so if you’re a few years outside these ranges you can still come along.

The adventure holiday industry is becoming more and more niche and we would like to introduce a new company called Venus Adventures.
Venus is different as they specialise in women only tours.
Venus Adventures offers experiential holidays with the three main ingredients of these trips being culture, adventure and fun. And the destinations are also tantalizing – places like Morocco, Egypt, Vietnam, Tanzania or Ethiopia.
Most importantly Venus are solo traveler friendly!
If you would like more information then visit the Venus Adventures website.
It is possible with some online solo travel adventure companies to book online with any currency of your choosing regardless of where you are.
One such adventure holiday company is the very good Intrepid Travel based in Australia and offering solo holidays worldwide in a number of currencies.
So we looked at a holiday in Central America from Intrepid, named ‘The Way to San Jose’, to see the price difference if you change currency.
The price quoted in NZ$ is $1400. If you changed the currency the price quoted is UK pounds is £480 (which is NZ$1180 as of today’s exchange rate).
Thats a massive difference of over NZ$200 and there is noting stopping someone in New Zealand from buying this holiday online in pounds.
Even if your bank charges you a lot for buying in another currency you will still probably save quite a bit of money!
This is similar to the discrepancies exposed on trans-atlantic flights where it is much more expensive to pay for flights using Euro or Sterling compared to dollars.
It might well be worth looking at this if you are booking a holiday. Keeping an eye on exchange rates can help as well.
IntrepidTravel often have up to 15% of their trips that are not selling very well and it is well worth keeping an eye out for the adventure holidays.
Intrepid are based in Australia but cover the whoe planet and have offices in the UK and other locations.
Look at the specific holidays and then check out the costs and dates link. This is where you will find the 15% discounts.

Many of their guests join as solo travelers and what makes this outfit special is that, unlike other large adventure holiday companies, they are actually based in Africa and therefore know the continent as well as anyone.
We are hoping to send someone from Solo Travel to Africa to experience one of their shorter trips , so look out for a full report later in the year.
