Holidays

Family Holidays

The desire to create special memories is one thing that every family has in common. Holidays are the perfect way to achieve this, but not every family holiday has to be the same. The ideal family holiday needs a little extra thought, love and planning, and that is why we are here.

We have it all: family adventures in Costa Rica exploring the rainforest canopies; activity-filled resorts in Greece;  exploring culture in Italy, whilst trying every flavour of ice cream; visiting elephant sanctuaries in Thailand where your children can learn about habitats and the wild; fun-filled days exploring the many parks of Disney Orlando and much more! Family holidays come in all shapes and sizes and we are here to make every family member matter.

Roaring Safaris 

The official definition of safari is: “an expedition to observe animals in their natural habitats”. So start packing those bags whilst we plan your ultimate voyage to explore the extraordinary animals of this world. From India to South Africa, Tanzania to Borneo, our world offers a breath-taking variety of safaris.

In Swahili, safari means ‘long journey’ or ‘voyage’. Where will your voyage take you?

Perhaps you want to visit Borneo, to see the Sumatran orangutans as they swing from tree to tree. If you’re looking for the great migration, as the wildebeest move en-masse through the Mara River, Tanzania is the place to be. For those who want to see “The Big 5”, but then enjoy the winelands of Franschhoek, South Africa will spark your interest.

Your voyage may take you to India, to explore the many national parks and search for the elusive tigers, of which only 3000 remain in the wild. Or maybe you want to get up close with the endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda, whilst you hike through the bamboo-filled forests to encounter them in their natural habitat.

Whatever your decision, we will help find the perfect voyage for you.  

Honeymoons

Say ‘I do’ to your first holiday as a married couple: a holiday that you will remember for the rest of your lives. The run up to your wedding will been stressful enough, so let us take the pressure off and help you tick off your ever-growing bucket list and begin your lives together by exploring the world. 

What does your dream honeymoon look like? 

Let us whisk you away to an overwater villa in the Maldives, to dive straight from your deck into the dreamy blue sea. Or for a taste of culture, Udaipur is a feast for your senses, where you can stay in majestic hotels that used to be a Maharajas’ palaces. Perhaps you want to travel along the Garden Route, watching dolphins dance in the distance, to a backdrop of the setting sun - the epitome of romance. 

Will you head over to Japan, where your adventure will be full of unique customs and timeless traditions? Whatever you choose, our expertise and wide-reaching connections will ensure you have the  tailored  honeymoon of your dreams. 

Snow and Ski

Enter the magical world of cross-country skiing, mountain skiing, snowboarding and husky riding; or snuggle up and while-away your afternoons sitting by a cosy fireplace, drinking hot chocolate topped with gooey marshmallows. Although the ski season can be quite short, it is certainly a lot of fun. You could learn to ski on the slopes of Whistler, practise your snowboarding in the shadow of Mont Blanc in the Alps or enjoy the après-ski scene after cruising down the Matterhorn in Zermatt. 

However, if skiing and extreme sports aren’t your thing, there's plenty more you can do in the snow. Why not go to Iceland for the winter solstice? Pack those thermals and road-trip through the Golden Circle, where you must stop at the Blue Lagoon and spend some time spotting the incredible Northern Lights. For something totally out of the ordinary, you could watch the Ice-cricket or Snow Polo on the frozen lake in St. Moritz. 

Sweden and Finland provide the perfect opportunity for Ice Hotels,  the infamous Lapland, with Santa’s grotto, or visiting Reindeer farms whilst staying in igloos where you can star gaze from the comfort of your bed. At these destinations, snowmobiles and husky sledding are just some of the exhilarating activities on offer. To plan your ultimate winter adventure, speak with us! 

City Breaks

If you fancy just a short break, spending a few days stepping away from everyday life, trying new foods and going sightseeing, perhaps a city break is for you. It may be a few days in Rome, eating pizza with views of the Colosseum, or a visit to the city that never sleeps - New York - to explore iconic sights like the Statue of Liberty or Central Park. 

If it’s a romantic weekend you are after, Paris is an excellent choice, especially as the Eurostar gets you there in only a few hours. September is the perfect time to head to Santorini, where you can lose yourself in the higgle-de-piggle cobbled streets, and watch stunning sunsets over the iconic blue and white roofs whilst sipping on the local Assyrtiko wine. We can help you to capture those perfect moments and ensure that even though your trip may be short, your time will be filled with the best restaurants, hottest places to go and unforgettable experiences. 

Travelling Close to Home 

This beautiful island that we call home can be the perfect choice for those looking for a night or two away. With holidays in the UK, you can switch off immediately and enjoy your surroundings, with minimal travel. Despite being close to home, ‘staycations’ can be blissfully relaxing. 

From Hampshire to Edinburgh, the Lake District to Devon, the UK is full of beautiful family and spa hotels - perhaps you’ll go away with your family, or to escape your family! Hop on a short flight to the breath-taking Irish coast, where the castles set the scene for Game of Thrones, and you could become part of the scenery. 

For the best advice to maximise your staycation, give one of our experts a call.  

Iconic Routes 

The 7 Wonders of the World are just a few of the many iconic sights that our world has to offer. The Taj Mahal is a must-do for any itinerary around the Golden Triangle of India. In the charming Peru, your journey will take you to see the incredible Machu Picchu. In Egypt, the Pyramids of Giza will have you gasping in awe, and in China you can walk along a piece of ancient history when you visit the Great Wall of China. 

By following iconic routes around the world, you will visit all the must-see places. Both the East and West Coasts of the USA have incredible journeys for you to explore. Route 1 travels down the West Coast, winding down the cliffs of the Big Sur, and the East Coast will have you falling head over heels for the stunning scenery, especially during the autumn, when the leaves turn, treating you to an explosion of colour. 

The Garden Route of South Africa will have you exploring forests, rocky shores, sandy beaches and quaint towns, all within 300 kilometres. Horse riding whilst the sun rises over Angkor Wat in Cambodia is well-worth a morning wake up call, or if horses aren’t your thing, perhaps a road trip through the Rockies of Canada where you can enjoy lakes in every imaginable shade of green and blue. 

Iconic route holidays are unforgettable, once in a lifetime and tailored to you.   

Trains & Boats

Holidays don’t just have to be on land. Cruising can unveil a whole new part of the world: oceans, seas and rivers. The glaciers of Alaska are only accessible by boat, so why not journey on a cruise where you’ll spot humpback whales and seals as they navigate through the cold, cold waters. For a little more warmth, sail down the Mekong River in the heart of Vietnam and Cambodia, where you can leisurely people-watch as you sail by locals going about their daily lives around these beautiful waters. 

If you want to explore by Train, hop on the famous Rocky Mountaineer as it winds through the mountains of British Columbia and explore Lake Louise and Banff from your glass-top carriage with exceptional food and wine. Or perhaps a weekend on the Simplon-Orient Express journeying from Rome to Paris. 

Enjoying the scenery from your cabin or carriage gives you a whole new way to explore our wonderful world. If you need some help booking, we can be of assistance!   

Blissful Beaches

Close your eyes and imagine: white sandy beaches, glistening turquoise waters, warm sun on your skin and a cocktail in your hand. We can get you there in the blink of an eye!Langkawi and Punta Mita may be on opposite sides of the world, but the one thing that they have in common is the feeling of pure bliss as you sit on your sunbed and relax with a good book. 

The Maldives, which is built up of 26 atolls, has many incredible hotels and resorts, where the days can be spent lounging in your overwater villa in the most romantic of settings. Dubai and Greece are perfect for family holidays on the beach, where children (and you!) can have a blast doing water activities in the sea, building sandcastles and enjoying long, lazy lunches in beach cafes. For something a bit further afield, Caribbean can be the perfect place to explore the crystal clear waters when they crash onto the sand. 

Off the beaten track

If you’re looking for an adventure to rival all others, and the idea of going somewhere where few others have been is thrilling and inspiring, then you may want to explore a holiday which is ‘off the beaten track’. Afterwards, enjoy coming home and shouting from the rooftops about the unusual, unexplored place that you’ve discovered. 

Go and discover the salt flats and sand dunes of Sossusvlei in Namibia, or fly in a hot air balloon over the ancient city of Bagan. Cruising the fjords of Patagonia or meet giant tortoises in the Galapagos. If you want to take the route less-travelled, we are here to make it happen. It is essential to us that your trip is full of unique experiences and unforgettable memories. Whether you want to go by car, bike, helicopter or plane, we can help plan your journey for you.
