It wasn’t long ago that wellness travel implied a long trip to the spa. However, the evolution of wellness travel to involve active adventure fits perfectly with the world of MT Sobek. Our active adventures have always promoted good health in the outdoors. So, it’s only a small step for us to add activities such as yoga and meditation to trips that involve cardio activities–such as hiking, kayaking, surfing, and paddle boarding. And, most importantly, these adventures are all under the expert leadership of qualified instructors.

From tropical eco-lodges to luxurious wellness resorts in the heart of Arizona’s Sonoran Desert, our retreats enable a full digital detox, a return to mindfulness, and a chance to eat well with healthy meal options. We have also teamed up with health and wellness experts at Canyon Ranch for unique retreats in Baja and New Mexico. As we like to say, “Be well, MT Sobek style.”
