The Remotest Island Vacations In The World

Leave the city lights behind and discover the remotest destinations in the world on these specially curated Culture Trip adventures.

We all love a city break, but there comes a time when you really need to get away from it all. Cue a trip to one of the remotest places in the world. Often hundreds of miles from the mainland, these isolated island vacation spots offer unspoilt natural beauty and incredible biodiversity. Whether you’re snorkelling with sea turtles in Indonesia or hanging out with giant tortoises in the Galápagos Islands, Culture Trip’s small-group remote vacations will fully immerse you in blissfully peaceful, unspoilt nature.

Atlantic Azores

Bottle-green crater lakes, sprawling fields of blue hydrangeas and steaming volcanic hot springs: you’ve made it to the Azores. Far out in the Atlantic Ocean, this string of Portuguese islands might lack the gorgeous sandy beaches of other isolated vacation spots, but they more than make up for it with their abundance of thrill-seeking activities. Get your adrenaline pumping on this six-day trip, where you’ll rappel down rushing waterfalls, kayak across shimmering lakes and hike through subtropical forests. Plus, you’ll learn how to make cozido – a traditional Azorean stew cooked underground, using only geothermal energy.

Tropical sea with turquoise water and trees. Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

Blissful Bali

A holiday in Bali is the ultimate tropical escape as it is, but this 12-day itinerary takes it to the next level as we spend three nights on the tiny island of Gili Trawangan, part of the Gili Islands between Bali and Lombok. We’ll hop on a speedboat to get there and spend our time fully immersing in the serene joys of tropical island life. Snorkel with sea turtles, discover the eery life-sized underwater statues near Gili Meno and spend sunset barbecuing and sipping cocktails on the beach. You’ll have loads of free time during your time here, so you can enjoy the luxury of our island resort with yoga sessions and massage treatment, chill by the pool or hit the beach. Gili Trawangan is so small that you can actually walk around the entire coastline in just a few hours. – that’s the best way to discover the island’s most amazing hidden beaches.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
