Take an island hopping day trip
What’s the one thing you NEED to do in a tropical paradise? Go island hopping, of course! So many beaches to relax on. So many spots to snorkel through. And so many ways to soak in the sunshine. And a private boat is the ideal mode of transport.

Experience the Isla Experience Special Stay, Darocotan Island
After a long day of island exploration, there’s only one thing on everyone’s mind – grabbing a delicious shore-side dinner beside a campfire (with a crew of awesome 18-35s). You just added the Philippines to your list of best destinations to visit in February, didn’t you?
![Young Friends Enjoying Food At The Beach]()
Take part in a local boodle fight
When the weather’s this perfect, it’s time to get dirty (in the best way possible). Enjoy a wholesome communal feast (AKA a boodle fight) served on long banana leaves that you enjoy with your hands. It’s the most traditional way to taste all the amazing food in the Philippines.
Things to do in The Philippines
Iceland in February
Good chance to see the Northern Lights (if you’re lucky!)

The weather is strong winds & chilly nights. Average temperature: -3°C (26°F) to 3°C (34°F)
![Northern Lights At A Clear Sky At Night]()
Keep an eye out for the Northern Lights
A real natural wonder in every sense of the word, the Northern Lights are notoriously hard to predict. But when you do see ’em, they'll knock your socks off. Whether you’re chilling in the hot tub (on the roof of your hotel) or you’re out on an early morning drive, your Trip Manager will keep their eyes peeled so you don't have to.
![People Enjoying A Sunset In A Warm Natural Pool]()
Relax in a geothermal pool
The ultimate respite from the cold? One million percent. These naturally warm waters are rich in minerals, making it the ultimate spa spot for you and your pals – under blue Arctic skies. Lots of natural pools are topped off with an on-site sauna, steam cave and massage waterfall too (swoon).
![Group Of Friends Hiking Glaciar]()
Walk alongside Europe's largest glacier
Wrap up warm and take a private tour of Vatnajökull, the biggest glacier in Europe. Set amidst a wild, icy landscape, you’ll have an expert guide to give you great insight into the area’s geography – while keeping you safe and sound too. What better way to get up close and personal with nature’s beautiful harshness?

Embark on a coastal lemon tour
A millennia of volcanic eruptions from Mt. Vesuvius has made the Amalfi coast perfect for farming. The best of all the bounty is the humble Lemon, for which this region is famed. Here you’ll get to visit a local family farm whose ancestors were the first to introduce this crop all those centuries ago.
![Rome Landmark Building Sunny Day]()
Explore Rome with a local guide
Roaming Rome in February? Pat yourself on the back, because Rome is the best city for short breaks in February. There are fewer crowds. That means shorter queues. AKA, this is the best time to tour this charming city on foot – with a local guide, in classic Contiki style.
![Chef Talking To A Young Group Of People In His Restaurant]()
Savour a risotto evening in Tuscany
The breezy February weather will have you craving some Tuscan wine. So, you might as well indulge. And why not pair it with some freshly made Risotto? In true Italian fashion, our warm hosts will load your table with a feast of antipasto, followed by a house specialty & something 'dolce' for dessert.

![Waterfall Tress And Nature Around It]()
Visit Iguassu National Park
Wanna cool off on a warm February day? Maybe the cascades of spraying waterfalls (with the subtropical forest as your backdrop) will help. These mighty waterfalls in Iguassu National Park are just one of the natural wonders that Brazil offers.
![People Dancing And Smiling On The Street]()
Check out the Rio Carnival
What comes to mind when you think of Brazil? Without a doubt, the Carnival! This iconic celebration is held in February every year. Dance, music, fireworks, parades – man, the Brazilians sure do know how to party. No wonder it’s one of the best places to visit in February.
