As we pass the midpoint of the year, we are looking forward to the start of our “European” season.  In the next few weeks we have tours heading off to Ireland, the European Alps, Cornwall and Sicily so that’s all very exciting.

Since my last monthly newsletter, we have released more 2025 tours onto our website. You will find old favourites like Walking the Nakasendo Way in Japan and the Marquesas by passenger freighter and plenty of options for Australia already. We are repeating our Pandaw rivership exclusive charter on the Mekong, Laos next year as our 2024 tour sold out quickly.

I’m personally excited to be the tour manager for our February trip to Sri Lanka, you can read more about this new tour below.

We have a number of tours that we are still working on for 2025 so stay posted and keep checking our website, we release new tours online as soon as they are ready to book.

A lucky group just returned from Namibia and Botswana and you can read all about their search for the ‘Big 5’ in our trip report below.
