We keep things real by skipping the typical tourist spots and focusing on genuine experiences, unique places, and a laid-back community vibe. Our trips are guided or run by Partners who simply love what they do and want to share the adventure.
Each Partner has been handpicked by us based on four criteria; Personal, Adventure, Local and Quality. By these criteria, we ensure that we deliver a genuine and wholesome experience.
We started Beyond Urban with one simple idea—life’s more fun when you’re out doing what you love. It’s about turning the ordinary everyday life into adventure, meeting great people along the way, and just enjoying the ride. By traveling with us, you will also join an inspiring community who share the same enthusiasm as you.

Beyond Urban began as a dream – sparked by a longing we carried in our own lives.
We’ve always shared a passion for nature, movement, and the simple joy of just being outside. Beyond Urban was born from a dream of escaping the stress of the city to live a more active life – and help others do the same. But despite the desire, it was often time-consuming to find good options. Where do you even start? Who do you go with? And why wasn’t there a place where everything was brought together?
We missed having a community – a space to get inspired, find like-minded people, and book adventures without scrolling for hours or worrying about the quality. So we created Beyond Urban: a platform where it’s easy to discover new outdoor experiences, meet people who share your interests, and feel confident that everything is handpicked and authentic. This is more than just a place to book trips – it’s a way to reconnect with what feels real.
