Vegan Travel
Who are we?
Hiking Biking Vegan is a small (but mighty!) world vegan travel company dedicated to providing one-of-a-kind experiences for vegan travelers (and the veg-curious). We take you to destinations far and wide - If we think it’s worth exploring, we’ll have a vegan tour to take you there, world-renowned like Ireland, and little-known like Camino Português . We’re adding new vegan vacations to new places every year - in Europe, Asia, and beyond. We’re also pushing the boundaries of what a vegan tour can offer. Kayaking, surfing, paragliding, rock climbing, canyoning, whitewater rafting—you name it, we’re determined to offer it for the adventurous folks in our groups. But at the end of the day, we believe exploring on foot or by bicycle is the best way to travel, eating at the best vegan restaurants along the way.
Imagine this: Walking through a remote village or cycling along a scenic coastline lets us slow down and be spontaneous—befriend strangers and see the wonder in everyday things. We become active participants in the drama of life unfolding all around us, instead of just passive observers. At Hiking Biking Vegan, that’s what travel is all about. Vegan values. Unique adventures. Life-long memories.
Vegan Travel For All Ages, Backgrounds, Experience Levels!
Our mission is to bring vegan travelers together, to create a community centered around our shared values and our love for the outdoors. Our vegan tours are designed first and foremost to let you go at your own pace. Every traveler has different needs and priorities. For some of us, long days on the trail or in the saddle is the main attraction. For others, hiking or biking is a novel way to get to what we really want: the vegan food, the views, and the vegan hotel spa. Every day of your vegan vacation offers you the opportunity to rest and relax—or to push your limits. Whether you’re a serious athlete or a casual traveler, our vegan group tours have something for everyone.
Meet Your Guide
Fielding Russell has been a world-traveler since he was six-months old. Born in Japan to American educators, his first visit to a “foreign” country was to the U.S. He spent his childhood criss-crossing the Pacific Ocean, living in both countries. At 17, he hiked the Inca Trail in Peru as a sighted-guide for blind students. His first job after university was as a backpacking guide in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC. In 2017, he moved to Taiwan to teach, and discovered the joys of long-distance cycling. It was in Taiwan that he met the people who would inspire him to become vegetarian, and later, vegan.
Fielding grew increasingly frustrated with how difficult it was to find vegan options while bike touring. He founded Hiking Biking Vegan in 2023, and led his first vegan bike tour to County Donegal, Ireland in 2024. The rest, as they say, is history.

Hiking, Biking & So Much More
Every Hiking Biking Vegan tour is led by expert guides with in-depth knowledge of the local area. Your guides offer bike tours and guided hikes each day of the tour. Every vegan tour we lead also includes opportunities to experience the great outdoors in other ways. Sea kayaking and paddle boarding are perennial favorites on our vegan vacations, as are rock climbing, paragliding, and “coasteering”— a water sport invented in Wales in the 1970s that has since spread to rocky coasts all over the world. We’re constantly seeking out new and exciting experiences to share with Hiking Biking Vegan travelers, all while enjoying the region’s best vegan food.
Explore National Parks & Historical Sites
Hiking Biking Vegan began with a two-person bike tour of Ireland, and has since grown to offer vegan group travel all over the world. We offer vegan tours to national parks, as well as to cities and regions known for their cultural heritage. Our vegan tours immerse you in the history and culture of the communities we’re in, with visits to castles, temples, night markets and festivals - all of which you’ll find on our Japan tour. Every Hiking Biking Vegan tour provides the chance to both visit famous locales and to take the road less traveled.
What People Are Saying About Us
“Hiking Biking Vegan is an incredible company with Fielding at the helm. We just returned from THE BEST bike tour of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way and it was one of our favorite trips ever.
Every single day was fabulous and we came home so happy and so fulfilled. I would HIGHLY recommend Fielding and Hiking Biking Vegan and we definitely plan to go with him again!”
— Lisa, Ireland 2024
What Will We Eat?
Hiking Biking Vegan tour destinations typically include national parks and other rural and remote places where vegan restaurants are scarce. We go above and beyond to ensure that every meal we offer is not only vegan, but also tasty. A vegan spin on the local cuisine is often a highlight of our trips - something other vegan travel companies don’t all offer.
Most HBV tours feature vegan meals at restaurants we have vetted and built relationships with. On other tours, when there are no restaurants with vegan options, our vegan chef prepares our meals. We don’t plan vegan travel tours to destinations where we are not 100% certain that we can provide vegan options.
Where Will We Stay?
Hiking Biking Vegan tours are big on adventure, but comfort and affordability are also top priorities. All of our vegan tours feature 3–4 star hotels, as well one or two nights in a traditional inn or bed & breakfast. We work with local partners to ensure that vegan toiletries and bedding are provided.
Whether it’s a Japanese hot spring ryokan or a family-run Irish bed & breakfast, traditional lodgings are often a highlight of the tour. Their charm and character give vegan travelers a unique insight to the local communities where we stay.
Which Vegan Tour Is Right For Me?
Traveling solo, or traveling abroad for the first time? Don’t let our vegan adventure tours intimidate you. Hiking Biking Vegan tours are open to travelers of all fitness and experience levels. Some, like our vegan tours of the Camino de Santiago, are relatively flat. Others, like our vegan tours of Ireland and Scotland, feature challenging hills. E-bikes are offered on every tour, making even the steepest climbs accessible to new riders.
