About us
Thank you for checking out our group. After years of being a private club we have now opened up our events - free of charge. Active Singles Adventures has been in Orange County for over 38 years now. We used to be Athletic Singles Association but changed our name so as not to intimidate anyone (and because a person didn't need to be "athletic" to enjoy our group). But we are still "ASA" . We continue to organize interesting social and active events so you can come out and meet our travelers and consider coming on one of our trips which we run as Singles in Paradise.
Our typical trip consists of 40 singles. We recently traveled to Peru, Kenya, China, Costa Rica, Tahiti, Panama, Belize, Honduras, Greece, Amsterdam, Belgium, Ireland, Galapagos and other exotic destinations - all with experienced guides and terrific group rates.
Meet fellow adventurous singles near you! Come to our Meetup to meet us, share stories and get first-hand recommendations on new exotic destinations. Find fun, laughs and maybe even a new travel buddy! Check out http://www.singlesinparadise.com for all the details on our trips.

Are you ready for the next dream vacation? We are working with the same specialists in Egypt that we went with back in 2019 who put together this fantastic package with the best tour guides.
We start off in Cairo where we will have 3 days to take in the wonders of Giza and the pyramids, Sphinx and Sakkara. The pyramids were reckoned by the Greeks to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. In the face of such immensity, one can't help but feel the wonder and awe that so many writers & artists have sought to convey over the centuries. The Cheops Pyramid is especially interesting since its interior burial chambers are open for visitors. Not far from the Pyramids is the Great Sphinx of Giza, which dates from 2620 BC. Hewn from natural yellowish limestone & standing 65 feet high & 187 feet long, this unforgettable statue combines the head of a Pharaoh with a lion’s body. Sakkara is one of the most exciting historical & archaeological area in all of Egypt with its famous step pyramid of King Zoser.
Our stay in Cairo will be at the 5-star Sheraton Cairo located on the banks of the River Nile with views of the Nile and the Pyramids. From there will fly to Luxor and our starting point for our 4-night Nile cruise aboard the Jaz Regent a 5* cruise liner.
We’ll continue on to Edfu and visit the Temple of Edfu the best-preserved major temple in Egypt. Then we cruise to Luxor with its breathtaking and impressive monuments of ancient Egyptian civilization it has become one of Egypt’s most enticing tourist destinations, home to some 80 percent of Egyptian artifacts. Its magnificent temples, tombs and palaces border the banks of the Nile River.
On the east bank stand the Luxor and Karnak temples, while Queen Hatshepsut’s temple lines the west bank of the great river. The great city’s necropolis contains the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and tombs of the nobles - a testament to Luxor’s ancient name al-Uqsur, or city of the palaces. Here we will have the option of visiting the tomb of Tutankhamen at an additional cost. We’ll visit the Temples of Karnak and Luxor Temple before flying back to Cairo. We'll have one more night in Cairo before heading home.
We have group air from LAX for just $1,100!

Belize Adventure Singles Vacation
Location not specified yet## Details
AUGUST 19th - 29th, 2026
10-nights with domestic air, transfers, daily breakfast - $2,679
Group international air option to be posted some time in OctoberThis will be our 10th trip to this incredible Central American country and it makes for a wonderful adventurous vacation. We've always sold this trip out and one year had enough interest to run 2 back-to-back trips of 42 people each! This trip is almost like 2 vacations since we'll have 5-nights on the mainland and then 5-nights on Ambergris Caye and they are so completely different.
Most people think of Belize only as a diving resort, but it’s way more. The mainland offers an amazing jungle with many ruins, archeological sites and very unique adventure tours. Belize’s interior is a 65-percent uninhabited wonderland of deep jungle rain forest, exotic native species, and myriad Mayan temples. But certainly it is also home to the worlds second-largest barrier reef.
With this trip we will start off with 5-nights at the San Ignacio Resort Hotel (read more below). This hotel has beautiful rooms and is right in the center of San Ignacio, walking distance to many restaurants which will make our dining, shopping and dancing very convenient. Our group will be completely taking over this hotel which should be a lot of fun. It also features an award winning restaurant. It will be the perfect base for all the adventure tours to be found nearby including an amazing site of Mayan ruins called Xunantunich. This ancient Mayan city rose to prominence and declined between AD 700 to 1000. A well developed site, Xunantunich is on the Belize.com Top Ten Maya Sites of Belize list.
This area of Belize, San Ignacio, features 2 of the best optional tours you will ever take in your lifetime. One of those is a tour that will have you floating on an innertube through 7 miles of underground river caves with only your headlamp to light your way. It's a very cool tour that's a ot of fun. There are plenty of guides accompanying us too if you'd like to hang on to one. Click here to check out my video.The other tour is a visit to an incredible cave that's called Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM for short) which is one of the only caves that has not been looted that has all the original pottery is exactly how it was left hundreds of years ago and even had a skeleton of a child that has been molded to the floor with hundreds of years of calcification! It's a tour you will never forget. Click here to check out my video.
From National Geographic: In myths, journeys to the underworld are never easy, and after visiting Actun Tunichil Muknal (Cave of the Stone Sepulchre), you may feel that you have been through your own epic test. Access to the Maya sacrificial site within the cave involves hiking, wading, and underwater swimming, but nearly a mile (1.6 kilometers) underground you will reach the resting place of the “crystal maiden,” a complete female skeleton that sparkles from eons of crystal calcification. The cave also contains Maya pottery shards, many showing the “kill hole” intended to allow spirits to escape.
Another fun day that we'll organize is a tour called Mountain Pine Reserve. This is an amazing day filled with waterfalls swimming and beautiful scenery.There's also optional tours offered at the hotel including horseback riding, zip lining, canoeing and more.
After our 5-days on the mainland it's island time. We’ll fly over to Ambergris Caye in small prop planes for the next 5 nights.
This long, slender island is just inside the famous barrier reef with excellent visibility and coral reefs. This is home to some of the best diving in the world such as Lighthouse Atoll and the famous Blue Hole! Click here to check out my video that's had 38,000 views! . Our hotel has a dive shop with nice boats on-site making your dives really convenient.
There’s also a variety of tours available and fun little shops and restaurants to enjoy, plus great nightlife! One of the best tours takes us island hopping with a couple of snorkel stops and lunch on a small island called Goff's Caye where we may be the only people there! And one of the best snorkel destinations you'll ever visit is called Hol Chan, just a short boat trip from our hotel that we'll have in our itinerary. You can also rent a golf cart and take your own tour of the island which is a lot of fun. It's also fun to take a bike ride or golf cart tour to explore the island and check out some of the other resorts on the island with beautiful pools, drinks and lunch.
Our resort there, called Sunbreeze, is located on a beautiful stretch of beach, has a nice pool, their own dive shop, bar and restaurant and is located a short walk from town. We’ll snorkel, scuba dive and party on this great trip. Think it might be too hot in the summer? It’s actually not bad at all. This is the time of year we've always gone to Belize and it's always been great.
