GOAT Adventures Cyprus Small Group Adventure & Walking tours - SOLO BUT SUPPORTED
Solo But Supported
Your holiday. Your pace. Your first step towards travelling solo with confidence.
Have you dreamed about travelling solo but never quite managed to take that first step?
Maybe it's arriving at an airport alone. Eating by yourself. Finding your way around somewhere unfamiliar. Or simply wondering, what if something goes wrong and I'm on my own?
That's exactly why we created Solo But Supported.
This isn't a traditional solo group holiday. Your trip is designed around you — your interests, your confidence and what you'd like to achieve.
You'll have the freedom to experience travelling independently, while knowing Melissa & Mark are never far away when you need us.
The goal isn't for you to need us for the whole trip.
It's to help you realise that perhaps you don't.
❤️ Why Solo But Supported?
✈️ We'll be waiting when you arrive
👣 Explore independently, with support nearby
🗺️ A trip designed completely around you
❤️ Personal support from Melissa & Mark
🌱 Build confidence at your own pace
Discover the real Cyprus without worrying about the planning
Is Solo But Supported Right for You?
It could be perfect if...
✔ You've always wanted to travel solo but feel nervous about taking the first step
✔ You've travelled with others but never completely by yourself
✔ You worry about arriving somewhere unfamiliar alone
✔ You'd love some independence without feeling abandoned
✔ You want to build your confidence gradually
✔ You want a holiday designed around you, rather than joining a fixed itinerary
You don't have to be a nervous traveller. Solo But Supported can also be perfect if you simply want the freedom of travelling alone without having to organise everything yourself.
👣 How Does Solo But Supported Work?
1. Tell Us About You
Before we plan anything, we'll get to know you.
What do you enjoy? What makes you nervous? What have you always wanted to try? And, importantly, what would make this trip feel like a success for you?
2. We Create Your Adventure
There is no standard Solo But Supported itinerary.
We build your trip around your interests, pace and confidence level, combining experiences you'd love with opportunities to gently try things independently.
3. We Meet You in Cyprus
No worrying about stepping out of Paphos Airport and wondering what happens next.
One of us will be waiting for you.
From that moment, you're travelling solo — but you're not doing everything alone.
4. Your Independence Grows With You
At first, you might want us around quite a lot.
As the trip progresses, you may decide you'd like to explore somewhere alone, have a coffee by yourself, spend an afternoon doing your own thing or try an activity without us.
There's no timetable for confidence.
You decide the pace.
What Could Your Adventure Look Like?
🥾 Walking a beautiful Akamas trail
🏇 Trying horse riding
🛶 Kayaking along the coast
🍷 Visiting a local winery
🏛️ Exploring ancient Paphos
🏡 Discovering traditional villages
🐕 Spending time with rescue dogs
🎨 Trying a creative experience
🏖️ Having an afternoon completely to yourself
🍽️ Sharing dinner with us at one of our favourite local tavernas
The important part isn't how many things you do. It's how the trip makes you feel.
🌱 This Isn't a Traditional Solo Holiday
There are some fantastic group holidays for solo travellers, and we offer group adventures too.
But Solo But Supported has a different purpose.
Joining ten other solo travellers on an organised holiday can be a wonderful experience — but you're still travelling as part of a group.
Solo But Supported is designed to help you experience what independent travel actually feels like, while giving you a safety net as you build your confidence.
Maybe on Day 1 we'll walk into a restaurant together.
A few days later, perhaps you'll order a coffee somewhere by yourself.
Maybe you'll explore a village while we wait nearby.
Or perhaps you'll surprise yourself and decide you don't need us at all that afternoon.
There are no tests and no expectations.
They're simply small moments that can eventually lead to one rather big thought:
"I could actually do this by myself."
❤️ Why We Created Solo But Supported
We've met so many people who would love to travel but are waiting for someone to go with them.
And sometimes that means waiting years.
We created Solo But Supported because we don't think being nervous about travelling alone should mean missing out on seeing the world.
We're not here to push you into situations you're uncomfortable with or tell you how brave you should be.
We're simply here to make that first solo trip feel possible.
We'll be there when you need us.
We'll step back when you don't.
And we'll probably be quietly cheering you on when you do something you didn't think you could.
💶 What Does It Cost?
Every Solo But Supported Trip Is Different
Because your adventure is designed entirely around you, there isn't a one-size-fits-all price.
The cost will depend on:
Length of stay
Accommodation
Activities
Meals
Time of year
The level of hosting and support you'd like
Once we've talked about the experience you're looking for, we'll create your personal itinerary and provide a clear quote before you decide whether you'd like to book.
No obligation. No pressure.
🌍 The Goal Isn't Another Solo But Supported Holiday
Our favourite outcome isn't that you come back and book another Solo But Supported trip.
It's that one day you message us and say:
"I've booked a trip by myself."
Because Solo But Supported isn't about teaching you to travel with us.
It's about helping you discover the confidence to travel without us.
And if this trip happens to be the first step towards that?
Then we've done exactly what we set out to do.
👣 Ready to Take Your First Step?
You don't need to feel completely confident.
You don't need to know exactly where you want to go or what you want to do.
You just need to be curious about what might happen if you finally said yes to travelling solo.
We'll help with the rest.
