The best locations, with even better experiences.

Ready to go one step beyond sightseeing? (Or shall we say, one flight beyond sightseeing?)Our lakes and mountains holidays are all about getting the most of each destination. Sure, you’ll see the Grand Canyon on foot, but you’ll also see it from above on a unique helicopter ride. You’ll see the seismic slopes of Patagonia, and then sail through its finest fjords on a catamaran. You’ll island hop in Greece, glacier hop in New Zealand and much else besides.

Lakes & Mountains tour reviews


"This was one of the best trips I have ever done. H the local guide was fantastic and took us to some incredible places. The secret swimming spot was one of my favourite places. The food was great and the group was one of the best I’ve had. I would do this trip again if I was in Croatia!"
