Hear that shellphone ringing? It’s your cue to hit pause on the hustle and bustle and get some much-needed time near the water. Everyone could use a little sun, sand and surf to get you through the year. Roll out a long towel, slather on the sunscreen and shimmy into your swimsuit. Life’s a beach – or, at least, it could be if you’ve got a backpack and a passport. These Culture Trip tours deliver the beach therapy you need.
1 . Seductive Southern Italy

You’ll need more than an appetite for this ten-day tour of Southern Italy. ‘Eat, beach, repeat’ will be your mantra as you get more than your fill of sand, sauce, sun, and seafood. Street food in Naples, sunbathing in Positano. Bread baking in Altamura, swimming in Polignano a Mare. By the time you make it from the Amalfi Coast to Puglia, you’ll be so crisp, salty and warm that you’d think you were turning into a Neapolitan pizza.

2 . The Real Costa Rica

The best way to see Costa Rica is with your head in the cloud forest and your toes in the sand. Make your way from San Jose to the shores of Tamarindo, taking the jungle route, of course. Wildlife safaris and white-water rafting will get your muscles warmed up for a few days of wave riding. Surf the Pacific or sit back with a drink and watch from the sand. It’s all pura vida either way.

3 . Sublime Southern Thailand

See the sunnier side of life with holidays on the water in Southern Thailand. A water sports adventure safari will find you kayaking gently through mangrove forests and exploring caves with ancient drawings. You’ll feel like a kid again when your crew reaches Coco Beach and sees the miniature inflatable waterpark just begging for a bounce. More kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming soak this itinerary from front to back – perfect for anyone who can’t get enough beach and sea R&R.

4 . Blissful Bali

The Island of the Gods is your water sports adventure HQ for nearly two weeks on this ultimate tour of Bali. Go as deep as you want into this island paradise: swim in the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, take surf lessons in Canggu, and snorkel amongst dozens of life-size underwater stone statues. You’ll even say goodbye to Bali for a while with a speedboat ride to the pristine beaches of Gili Trawangan.

5 . Dazzling Brazil

There’s no pair of beaches on Earth quite like Rio’s two famous stretches of golden sand. Lined with street footballers, volleyball masters and caipirinha sippers, there’s nowhere better to soak in the sunshine and bask in the samba spirit. We’ll be spending four nights in a hotel within walking distance of both Ipanema and Copacabana beach, so you’ll have plenty of time to spend on the sand, in the ocean and diving across the volleyball court, not to mention the incredible sunset spots we’ll find to watch the sun go down over Rio.

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: Epic Trips, Mini Trips and Sailing Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travellers and friends who want to explore the world together.

Epic Trips are deeply immersive 8 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and enough down time to really relax and soak it all in. Our Mini Trips are small and mighty - they squeeze all the excitement and authenticity of our longer Epic Trips into a manageable 3-5 day window. Our Sailing Trips invite you to spend a week experiencing the best of the sea and land in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.

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.
