Tour Themes

WILDLIFE TOURS

Zipline through the jungle, then spot turtles on a Costa Rican beach. Hear the roar of a wild lion, then see the magic of the Great Migration. Watch a busy beaver build his dam, then go bear spotting in Canada. Mother nature is truly incredible and our team has curated the best nature tours to tick off your bucket list. From the icy tips of the Canadian Rockies to the dry, desert plains of Africa, choose to explore the best of the animal kingdom with wildlife travel or reconnect with our nature tours.

BOATS & CRUISING TOURS

Just because we prefer the open road doesn’t mean we won’t swap four-wheels for the seven seas now and again. Some of our most popular trips hop between islands, explore breathtaking fjords, marvel at marine life and take in the sunset from the water. There’s nothing quite like feeling the wind in your hair and salt on your skin, so when boats beat buses we’ll happily take you out on the water to experience the best of a destination. From cruising holidays to river tours to boat trips, explore our favorite trips that travel by water.

STREET & URBAN EXPLORER TOURS

You want to feel the rhythm of the streets. Brush shoulders with locals in bars. Find the city’s best pastry shops and parks. Bounce between art galleries and street galleries. Seek out history and culture at every turn. Hello to you, you urban explorer! From urban tours through lesser-known neighborhoods to finding old Picassos and a new favorite cafe, these city escapes will get you in touch with the soul of the places you visit.

CREATIVE TOURS & ART TRAVEL

The Mona Lisa...The Starry Night…The Scream...The Birth of Venus...There’s something magical about standing in front of the world’s most famous artworks for the first time. And art travel allows you to take in the color and textures of these masterpieces up close. Maybe you studied art history, maybe you’re an artisan, or maybe you just love creative tours that give you time to explore bucket list galleries, join art tours through trendy neighborhoods and learn traditional crafts from living artisans.

LOCAL TRAVEL TOURS

There's limitless fun at your fingertips in the US on our local travel tours. Say yes deeper home connections. Yes to local history. Yes to no baggage allowance! Packed full of charismatic cities, world-famous entertainment, historic towns, and jaw-dropping national parks, America has it all. From Seattle to San Francisco, LA to Las Vegas, and Maine to Massachusetts, explore iconic sights and hidden gems in your backyard (or 2,700 miles away!) on a US local tour. Live the American dream, but always your way.

MUSIC TOURS

Ready to rock ’n’ roll somewhere new? These music holidays should hit the beat. Shake, rattle and roll your way through America’s great southern cities, join music tours in Mozart’s Vienna, join a djembe drumming session in Cape Town and explore traditional folk tunes across the world. Start planning a music trip that will get you tapping your toes with excitement.

Make Travel Matter

MORE THAN 10 YEARS OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

We've always been crazy for travel. It's in our blood. That's why in 2008, we asked ourselves: how do we make travel a force for good? How do we make a positive impact on the wildlife, people and planet we explore? We knew we had to set an example for responsible travel. So, we're tackling our impact in two ways; through our 5-year How We Tread Right sustainability strategy and through the work of our not-for-profit organisation, the TreadRight Foundation, created in 2008.

OUR COMMITMENT

  • Planet: Sustainability and conservation: We ensure that we’re protecting our invaluable landscapes and natural resources.
  • People: Cultural preservation: We ensure that the true economic benefit of travel is felt by local communities.
  • Wildlife: Protection of our world’s wildlife: We advocate for the highest standard of ethical wildlife experiences.

HOW WE TREAD RIGHT

Our 5-year How We Tread Right sustainability strategy is based on 11 measurable goals anchored to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which address the issues of climate change, sustainable food production, waste reduction, travel experiences, diversity and inclusion and wildlife.

MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®️ EXPERIENCES

Our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are all about encouraging sustainable travel and tourism. They teach you about the world and support the people and places you visit, helping you become a responsible tourist.

OUR ROAD TO NET ZERO

We're excited to see people and businesses around the world working to act on climate change. To play our part, we've committed to net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. Yeah, we're serious.

You can see how we'll do this in our Climate Action Plan, which comes with short-term and long-term targets validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). Alongside our sister brands, we became the first global tour operators to have SBTi-validated near-term, long-term, and net zero targets.
