The Next Big Adventure: Itinerary Ideas

Ready to explore somewhere new? Ready for an adventure on the other side of the world?

You probably have many destinations on your dream travel list. Sometimes it takes a little practical information to start making the dream a reality.

Here we have nine exotic destinations to explore, with guides and itineraries we created for our clients. So you can better understand what is possible.

Costa Rica

Nayara Tented Camp in Costa Rica

Beautiful beaches on the Pacific and Caribbean. A lot of highly unique wildlife. Volcanoes, cloud forests, hot springs and river rafting.

Costa Rica is a great adventure because it’s really easy to combine an incredible variety of destinations and new experiences. It’s ideal for families and couples.

We designed the ultimate Costa Rica holiday for a client travelling with his family, with beach time and soft adventure. We think it’s pura vida, a local expression meaning pure life.

Australia and New Zealand

Waewaetorea Passage, Northland, New Zealand

Yes, you can experience New Zealand in only one week. And you don’t need two months and a backpack to discover Australia.

You will never see all of either of these countries. Nobody can.

Whitsunday Islands in Queensland, Australia

With just two weeks you can capture the essence of both Australia and New Zealand, on a carefully curated itinerary.

Here’s a rough plan of a Australia and New Zealand combination holiday to get you started, based upon the region’s most efficient transport connections. From here, the options are endless.

South Africa

Cape Town awaits. What a place to start a holiday!

The South Africa experience is so much more than seeing the big five on a safari. It’s vineyards, beaches, art, vibrant cities and a divine gastronomic scene. And there are more than five big animals!

South Africa is the perfect first-time safari destination, with easy wildlife viewing and some of the best luxury lodges anywhere in the world.

Time to relax? This is the view from one of Londolozi’s Private Granite Suites, in the Sabi Sands, South Africa.

Our travel designer created this 12-day South African adventure, combining an authentic African safari with the best hotels and most unique experiences.

South America in Three Weeks

Iguazu Falls is a good place to cross the border between Argentina and Brazil

Machu Picchu. Iguazu Falls. Rio de Janeiro. Yes, they’re all easily combined in one holiday. And these are just the most famous stops.

Our client wanted to combine South America’s icons and famous experiences on a single trip. We designed this three-week holiday to Peru, Argentina and Brazil.

European winter is the best time to go. From dancing the tango to helicopter flights, a luxury overnight train by Belmond to the rainforest, South America is an easy adventure of a lifetime.

Dominican Republic

Amanera

Yes, Dominican Republic is interesting to the discerning traveller and explorer. We love the country’s mix of European and Caribbean culture, combined with the element of adventure and wild nature.

New retreats hide in remote parts of the island, far from the crowds of Punta Cana. Amanera is the one we love the most.

For an easy combination of winter sun and cultural exploration, the Dominican Republic will really surprise you. We’ll help you experience the island’s true spirit.

Vietnam

We love how tourism is evolving in Vietnam. New luxury design hotels are among the best on the planet. And the combination of beach and cultural adventure is so strong.

Vietnam is actually one of the easier destinations for our travel designers. With so many great properties and a good local partner, we can customise very interesting holidays for our clients.

Here’s the rough outline of a two-week journey exploring the very best Vietnam.

French Polynesia

Four Seasons Bora Bora

Few places are as far away as these islands cast adrift in the South Pacific. Not only geographically, also in terms of culture, landscape and travel experience.

Tahiti, Bora Bora, Motu Taotao. This is the ultimate holiday to French Polynesia, with the best resorts and an expedition by private yacht.

If you want a beach holiday that feels a little different, and is not what your friends or colleagues have tried, French Polynesia could be just the adventure you need.

USA Road Trip

Canyonlands National Park, Utah

The freedom and thrill of the road. Nowhere is it better experienced than the wide open spaces of the USA.

Just imagine the sort of car you could drive, when you base a holiday around these USA road trip ideas.

We’ve also rounded up the best places to stay in the USA, from a ranch experience to the city and the snow.

Ecuador & Galápagos

How about the Galapagos Islands for an alternative summer beach holiday?

Demand for holidays in Galapagos has dramatically increased and the islands were one of our top travel trends of 2022.

Thanks to fantastic conservation and clear limits on visitors, these rare islands remain as pristine and untouched as ever. Here’s your guide to doing the Galapagos in style.

Cuenca, Ecuador

We recommend spending time in mainland Ecuador too, to experience the rainforest, active volcanoes (safely), Andes Mountains, interesting old cities and a lot more (the first ever World Heritage Site is here). Two weeks is a perfect trip, as showcased by this holiday our client took.
