Perfect, relaxing holiday! From sleeping under the stars to waking up and being able to jump straight into the water, my Turkish Sail far exceeded my expectations.

Awesome. Saw so many beautiful places I would’ve never visited on my own (K‘Gari, Noosa Everglades), and found a new hobby (surfing). Organisation of the trip was perfect, loved everything.
I absolutely loved the sail trip. It was a nice mix of seeing each island, learning the history of the country, swimming, and party.
Your search for ""
clear searchLove sunsets and iconic views? You'll love Greece. Into medieval towns and hidden coves? Croatia’s your spot. History and turquoise waters? Sail Turkey. For tropical beaches, street food and epic snorkelling, hit up Thailand or the Philippines. And if you're after surf vibes and jungle feels? Bali’s the one. Feeling something wild and off-grid? Ecuador’s islands are for you. (And yep, we go to them all!).
On the East Coast, we recommend Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Koh Chang, and Koh Pha Ngan, which all offer plenty of chances for kayaking, snorkelling, diving or simply soaking up the sun. On the West Coast, the most popular islands are Krabi, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Phayam. Phuket is one of the most popular destinations in Thailand – and is also an awesome basecamp for visiting surrounding areas like the James Bond island or the Surin Islands.
For the perfect Thailand island hopping experience, we recommend a minimum of 9 days. This should give you plenty of time to explore, try out the different water sports, enjoy the iconic nightlife and relax on some of the most heavenly beaches on earth.
The best islands for Greek island hopping are Naxos, Paros, Mykonos, Ios, Rhodes, Santorini, Milos, and Crete.
Greece is beautiful all year round, but the ideal time to go on our ‘Greek Island Hopping’ trip is between April - May or September - October. Those months see fewer tourists, prices are more affordable and the heat is less intense.
With over 1,000 islands under their belt, there certainly are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to Croatia. The most popular ones are Hvar, Korcula, Vis, Brac, Mljet, Ran, Duhi Ook, Pag, and Krk.
Think sun, sea and something new every day. In Croatia and Turkey, you’ll wander ancient cities like Dubrovnik & Myra, and soak up the history. In Southeast Asia (Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia), it’s all about surreal food, wildlife encounters and snorkelling in dreamy waters. It's the perfect mix of culture, nature and relaxation.
Depends on the trip. Some itineraries have you in comfy twin-share hotels, others have you living your best life on the water (yep, literally sleeping on the boat!). Just click on a trip to find out more about your trip accomodation.
Sunbathing, swim stops, show-stopping views, and zero stress. You’ll cruise from one stunning spot to the next with a crew of new mates, a full belly. Culture, fun, and freedom? All on board these island tours.
