Top Trips for Epic Road Trippin'

Some people simply cruise around the Amalfi Coast and call it a day – but you’re someone who likes to kick it into high gear. Extend your Italian adventure with this 10-day tankful of fun from Naples to Lecce. You’ll venture all the way to Puglia, pulling over to taste olive oil, visit the Castellana Caves and take an e-bike through the Itria Valley. There will be plenty of fuel stops, although you won’t be eating jerky and soda; the street food in Naples, limoncello in Positano and seafood in Polignano a Mare will keep you moving forward.

We hope you’ll forgive us: this exciting 12-day tour of Turkey has a flexible definition of the phrase “road trip”. Don’t get us wrong: this overland journey across Turkey’s historical sites will take you from Istanbul in Europe to Antalya in Asia. You’ll head off-road as well, but not in the way you think. Between hiking through the Kaymaki Underground City and taking a hot-air balloon ride above Cappadocia’s surreal rock formations, you’ll never view road trips the same again.

You won’t be finding the world’s biggest ball of yarn or tallest ear of corn on this road trip through Iceland; you’ll have to settle for dips in the dreamy Blue Lagoon, gazing at the wonder that is the Northern Lights and eating quite possibly the best bread you’ve ever tasted at the Geothermal Bakery Fontana. The Golden Circle is yours to explore on a private tour, but don’t plan on being just a passenger, as you’ll also get the chance to go behind the handles of a snowmobile and ride across a glacier at your own pace.

The variety of landscapes you can encounter along the Western Cape of South Africa is simply extraordinary. They’ll be on show across this 11-day extravaganza across the scenic Garden Route, starting in Cape Town with cultural experiences and an ascent up Table Mountain. You’ll kayak with penguins in Simons Town and visit the Cape of Good Hope – Africa’s southwesternmost point – before heading to the luscious wine region of Stellenbosch. After a day visiting multiple vineyards we’ll continue to the ostrich capital of the world, Oudtshoorn, and the gorgeous coastal gem of Knysna. You’ll explore the diverse flora and epic bridges of Tsitsikamma National Park before our road trip reaches its coolest destination, a luxurious safari lodge in Gondwana Game Reserve, where you’ll be spending two nights. You’ll get to go off-road up to four times during your stay, as we embark on multiple game drives in search of the Big Five.
