Do Wild Things: Our Exciting New Partnership with Much Better Adventures

At Ray of Sun Adventures, our mission has always been simple: to bring people together outdoors, to spark connection, and to create adventures that leave you feeling alive long after the backpacks are unpacked.

Now, we’re stepping things up a notch. I’m beyond excited to share that we’ve partnered with the trailblazing team at Much Better Adventures — a company that’s redefining what it means to travel. Their motto? Do Wild Things. And honestly, it couldn’t feel more aligned with what Ray of Sun Adventures is all about.

This isn’t just a collab — it’s a chance to connect our community with the very best in sustainable adventure travel, solo-friendly group trips, and award-winning experiences in wild places across the globe.

What “Do Wild Things” Really Means

Let’s be real: life is full of routines, emails, deadlines, and distractions. ‘Do Wild Things’ is a reminder to hit pause on all of that and say yes to experiences that shake you up (in the best way).

When we say “wild,” we don’t mean extreme or reckless. We mean stepping outside your comfort zone in ways that bring you joy. It could be hiking a trail you’ve never tried, cycling through countryside you’ve only seen on postcards, or clinking glasses with strangers who feel like old friends by the end of the night.

It’s about connection — with nature, with others, and with yourself. The magic happens when you swap WiFi for wildflowers, offices for open skies, and screens for shared stories around a fire. And that’s exactly the spirit this partnership celebrates.

Why Much Better Adventures?

Much Better Adventures aren’t just another tour operator. They’re building a movement that’s good for people and the planet. Here’s why we’re so proud to team up:

• 🌍 Adventure for good – Every trip directly supports independent, locally owned businesses, keeping money in the communities you visit and helping protect wild places.

• 🧭 Led by experts – Their guides are carefully chosen for their local knowledge, qualifications, and passion for the outdoors. It means you’ll discover hidden corners and stay safe while you explore.

• 👫 Solo-friendly by design – Whether you’re travelling solo, with a partner, or with a couple of friends, the groups are small, sociable, and full of like-minded people who love adventure.

• 🏆 Recognised worldwide – From National Geographic to The Guardian, The Telegraph and Wanderlust, they’ve been praised for shaping the future of sustainable outdoor recreation.

• 💬 Glowing reviews – Their community is fast-growing, and the feedback is consistently 5-star.

They’ve already channelled tens of millions into local businesses — and the bigger they grow, the more good they do. That’s the kind of ripple effect we want to be part of.

Tuscany, But Wilder 🍷🚲⛰️

So, what better way to celebrate our new partnership than with a trip that combines hiking, cycling, food, and wine in one of the most beautiful corners of the world?

Introducing: Hike, E-Bike and Wine in Tuscany with Ray of Sun Adventures.

📍 Location: Val d’Orcia, Tuscany, Italy🗓️ Duration: 5 nights💪 Difficulty: Easy (accessible for all levels, no Tour de France training required!)

This is Tuscany like you’ve never experienced it before. On this Tuscany hiking and cycling tour, you’ll:

• Cycle the iconic landscapes on an e-bike — rolling hills, vineyards, and cypress-lined roads straight out of a film. Renaissance towns like Pienza and Montepulciano are waiting to be explored (and yes, you’ll taste the wine too).

• Hike ancient trails including stretches of the Via Francigena, a pilgrimage route dating back centuries. Imagine olive groves, rustic farms, and Roman-era hot springs at Bagno Vignoni.

• Savour the flavours of Tuscany with organic feasts made from local produce, plus world-class wines at family-run estates and hand-picked restaurants.

• Rest and recharge in a countryside spa hotel, complete with a pool, wellness centre, and a unique Etruscan cave spa — perfect for easing your muscles after a day of adventuring.

What makes this trip extra special is the people- all from the ROSA community! You’ll be part of a small group of no more than 14 travellers, most of them solo adventurers just like you, all sharing the same love of the outdoors. By the end of the trip, you’ll leave with new friends, unforgettable stories, and maybe even a new favourite wine or two.

💸 From £1,978 per person (excluding flights), it’s an incredible way to experience Tuscany differently — with more connection, more nature, and more adventure.
