Discover Jordan
Journey through Jordan’s desert on this eight-day small-group trip and sift through the sands of time. Fuel up with street food in Amman before embarking on an adventure through the Dana canyons and sandstone mountains. After an amazing visit to Petra, you’ll set up camp under the stars at the base of Mount Haron. A Bedouin family will give you an insight into desert living, before you enjoy a much-needed dip in the salty waters of the Dead Sea.
Soulful South Korea
See the best of South Korea inside and out on this all-encompassing 10-day adventure. Though you’ll have ample time to landmark-hop around the capital, this trip goes far beyond karaoke and kimchi in Seoul. Wander into the tunnels of the Demilitarized Zone, strengthen your body and mind with martial arts and meditation outside Gyeongju, and eat your way through Jeonju. Diving deep into local culture, you’ll learn all about South Korea through immersive activities that will stay with you for life.
Tropical Northern Thailand
Wild trips through Thailand can be as picturesque as an Attenborough documentary and as exciting as an Indiana Jones film. Dodging bats while rafting through caverns and ancient caves, climbing a sticky waterfall, and feeding friendly elephants at their welcoming sanctuary are just a few of the scenes your own personal nature film would feature. Leap onto this 10-day adventure and discover northern Thailand’s jungles.
Secrets of Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean for a reason – and our carefully curated trip is your ticket to the many sides of this tropical island. Skip the tourist traps and experience authentic Sri Lanka: from a local’s guide through Colombo to cycling around 1,000-year-old ruins. If you love trying new food, you’ll appreciate the chance to join a hands-on Sri Lankan cooking class in Kandy, enjoying the fruits of your labour for lunch.
