Open Challenges
Charity Treks and Fundraising Challenges
We offer a unique range of charity treks and fundraising challenges designed to push you out of your comfort zone while raising money for your favourite cause.
Browse our trips to find an adventure that will challenge you physically and mentally, while helping to support a charity close to your heart. If your chosen charity is not currently partnered with us, simply ask them to contact us and we can set them up.
Flexible Payment Plans
We can arrange instalment plans for your registration fee (usually payable over two months) on most trips. For details, email accounts@different-travel.com.
