The Best Private Trips to Book for Birthdays

Raise your caipirinhas and bring out your best samba moves in celebration of the birthday legend! Brazil is the perfect destination for any party, so gather the gang and book our private nine-day tour, which takes in Sao Paulo, Paraty Bay and Rio de Janeiro. In Sao Paulo you’ll get a guided tour through the city’s coolest neighbourhoods and most remarkable architectural feats, before a transfer out to the luscious coast of Paraty. You’ll explore old towns, golden beaches and a Unesco-listed forest, while our boat trip along the area’s crystalline waters includes the chance to go snorkelling and have a beach barbecue. In Rio the celebrations really kick in, with a visit to a local samba school, sunset cocktails atop Sugarloaf Mountain and plenty of time spent living your best lives on the city’s iconic beaches.

This island paradise is the perfect place to gather your favourite people for some pure escapism. From unique cultural experiences to serene tropical landscapes and world class hospitality, a trip to Bali can mean laid-back retreat and adventurous escape in equal measure. That’s certainly the case on our epic 12-day itinerary. You’ll start by making a traditional Balinese offering and placing it in a sacred temple, before hiking through rice paddies and rural villages, and picnicking amid hidden waterfalls. Our guide will take you to yoga and cooking classes, as well as temples and royal gardens. On day five you’ll have to make sure everyone’s alarms are set early for our sunrise hike to the peak of Mount Batur, but things get more chilled on Gili Trawangan, a tiny island where we’ll spend a few nights at a luxurious beach resort. Lounge by the pool, hit the beach or walk around the entire island – it only takes a few hours – and don’t forget to join our guide as we go snorkelling with sea turtles off the coast of the Gili Islands.
