Active Travel
Active travel is about embracing travel opportunities, whether as a family a couple or solo, while also engaging in a form of fitness or sport at same time. You might be a hiker, or a thrill-seeker, but you are rarely found just laying around doing nothing. You love to wander, and you love to try new experiences from zip lining to scuba and snorkelling. Active travel, is a healthy way of embracing a new place and seeing it from a hands on perspective. You try all the things and live for the stories you can share later when you return home. The best trips for you are the ones that leave you slightly exhausted and entirely exhilarated.

The St Augustine Tryp Hotel didn’t disappoint. It was a lovely, clean, newer space. Tryp is a brand owned by Wyndham and it is affordable and family friendly. There are numerous locations of Tryp by…
