So would love to find a two week holiday that would incorporate some trekking and then at the end some beach relaxing - tied to Feb- thinking Nepal / Sri Lanka ? Africa ?
we’re a 55 year old couple that are fairly fit but not professional climbers ! Looking for adventure happy to be in a smallish group for the activity
any ideas ? Thanks

Just had a look at explore and at that time of year they seem to offer Madeira, Canaries, Jordan, Sri Lanka, Kerala and Vietnam. Of course they have Kilimanjaro but that's maybe a bit more hardcore than you had in mind.

We had a brilliant adventure/beach holiday in Costa Rica. I'd love to go back and would feel comfortable hiring a car if we did.

I recommend HF holidays. I know several people from my walking group that have done various holidays with them both here and abroad, though I have only done UK ones myself (they were excellent).

We have used Exodus a lot and have never been disappointed.

I was in the Canaries on February, I think it's one of the best destinations for this time of the year. We did La Palma and Tenerife, but La Palma really was amazing for hiking!!!

I went on a brilliant exodus trip. Their website is great. Put in February, walking and see what’s available. How exciting!

@TeamGeriatric thanks have you used explore before ?

Yes, not since we had kids but prior to that, so experience was more than 10 years ago. Always had good trips, also done Exodus trips pre-kids and equally good. Only walking type trips I've done are around Cappadocia (Turkey) with Explore, which was fab, and Drakensberg in South Africa with Exodus. I have been up Kinabalu too. Kinabalu, orangutan sanctuary and beach is a good call by whoever suggested it. Hoping to get a family Exodus trip this year, but when paying for 4 people the cost is a bit of a shock!

@TeamGeriatric ot certainly is expensive when you have to pay for kids too ! We’re now lucky that dc are in their 20s so can warrant a parents only trip …,
