EUROPEThis remote group of volcanic islands are home to species of wildlife that are actively protected – we humans are the visitors in their ecosystem. Our five-day trip weaves in ways to witness the amazing wildlife, including snorkelling among sea lions, turtles and marine iguanas, plus kayaking along the Itabaca Channel. Keep your camera close as you hike through cactus forests spotting red-chested frigatebirds. Everyone loves the most famous residents: the protected giant tortoises lumbering among the moon-like landscapes.
We’re betting Bali is on your travel bucket list. Our trip devotes 12 days to the idyllic Indonesian island, designed for you to see as much of it as possible. Climbing Mount Batur as the sun rises will be a highlight, as will bronzing on balmy beaches and hiking jungle-clad mountains. An exhilarating speedboat ride to tiny Gili Trawangan island is tempered by a soulful snorkel with sea turtles. Your last day will include a blessing on the beach before a group dinner; recreate the fragrant dishes once home with the knowledge gained from your cookery class in Ubud.
You asked for unique bucket list ideas and this five-day Iceland adventure delivers. Pinch yourself on a private jeep journey through the Golden Circle – a route known for its rich landscapes connecting Thingvellir National Park, the Geysir blow holes and Gullfoss waterfall. You’ll bond with your tripmates while soaking in hot springs as the Northern Lights hopefully play across the night sky above. For another dip, head to the Blue Lagoon – nature’s own spa – and for a bite to eat, enjoy the warm bread made in the ground of a geothermal bakery.
