Specialist Holidays

Whatever your interest, we can build it into your holiday, make it the sole focus, or simply one feature of a longer trip – it’s up to you. Our travel experts can help you with ideas and inspiration.

Specialist holidays

Do you have a specialist subject? Perhaps you’re an avid scuba diver, you love golf next to the ocean, or you want to go fishing in Africa. Perhaps you’re looking to arrange a reward trip or team-building holiday for your business, or maybe your real passion is gorgeous spa destinations.

Because every holiday we arrange is tailor-made, we can craft a getaway with a special focus, such as playing tennis, going sailing, mountain-biking in actual mountains, heliskiing or horse-riding. Whatever your interest, we can build it into your holiday, making it the sole focus, or simply one feature of a longer trip. We’ve split some of our specialist subjects into categories below, or you can browse all specialist holidays.
