Off Road Driving Programs Abroad

Whether you seek off-road adventures on an ATV or long for dirt bike vacations, there are many ways to experience the lush, ridiculous beauty of the world from backcountry roads. How does maneuveringaround geysers in the Arctic Circle sound? What about floating between the Earth and Sky as you drive with the windows down in Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni? Or careening over the summit of Namibia’s infamous red sand dunes? If any of these rev your engine, then you gotta check out off road tours. Buckle your helmet, tighten your seatbelt, turn that GoPro on, and get ready to get off-the-beaten track and take the road less traveled.

The Camino del Mayab Trail

The objective of the Camino del Mayab is to generate direct benefits for the people of the communities making up this cultural reserve. The main point is to foster sustainable tourism in these areas so women, men, and young people may have opportunities for growth in guidance services, food, lodging, transportation, and more. During the program, travelers live like locals and participate in daily life activities such as beekeeping, handicrafts, cornfield work, tending to livestock, and more. We work to eradicate three main problems: Social Inequality; Species Extinction; and Environmental Destruction. It is estimated that when this project is in its fifth year of operation, it will generate direct benefits for 360 indigenous people; of which 216 will be women and 72 young people. The Camino del Mayab's conservation is crucial for recharging the aquifer that supplies Merida, so environmental protection is vital to the area. As a volunteer in this program, you will support different activities carried out: rural construction, cleaning of trails, sanitation of areas, agricultural work, and rehabilitation of schools.

A Guide to Off Road Driving Adventures Abroad

Locations

With off road drives available across the world, from the Outback of Australia to the waterfalls of Zambia, the opportunities for adventures off road stretch out far beyond the reach of your rear view mirror.

If you want to cruise in the company of stark mountains, incredible green landscapes, and active volcanoes, check out Iceland. This country is a delightful combination of virgin landscape and all-the familiar first-world amenities that your inner comfort-junkie needs. So, if you’re itching to sign up for dirt bike adventure tours on another planet (that’s actually an island in Europe), Iceland is calling. Open that sky roof, take a gaze at the boreal lights above you, and enjoy driving on the left side of the road.

Latin America is great for those who are cool with jungle AND mountain travel, don’t mind bugs, and want to improve (or use!) their Spanish. From the rainforests and beaches of Costa Rica, to the jagged peaks of the Peruvian Andes, to southern Patagonia in Argentina, Latin America is an off-roader paradise. Take hairpin turns that would make even "The Legend" Walker Evans cringe and uncover hidden Mayan or Incan ruins (heck, you might even discover another ancient city).

One of the biggest countries in the world, with recorded history stretching back thousands of years, China is a fascinating place for extended use of your “all-wheel drive.” Drive your truck along the ancient Silk Road that connected Europe and Asia for hundreds of years, visit villages in the west that aren’t a part of the traditional travel itinerary, and chill with some monks in Tibet on your tea break post-adventures off road. There's also street food that will make your mouth water (huoguo and a baozi, please!) and the landscapes that inspired Avatar. Take your off road adventures off the pavement and onto the dirt!

Best experience EVER!

The program has been absolutely amazing! I have loved everything about Australia, formed a lot of new friends/relationships, and made so many great memories so far. I would 100% recommend it to others, I think everyone should get to experience this beautiful place. My favorite part was the camping trip on Frasier Island, but I have also loved sky diving, snorkeling, and all of the nights out have been a blast. Overall, this has been the best experience I’ve ever had and I’m so glad I got out of my shell and booked it.
