Beach & Adventure Vacations
If truly relaxing is an important part of your vacation, but you want a little adventure too, we can craft a beach vacation that lets you unwind and rejuvenate, but with something excited added in too, such as a safari, a cultural journey or a mountain trek.

- Award-winning travel experts
While some people’s idea of the perfect vacation is an exhilarating adventure from start to finish, others prefer to completely relax and do as little as possible, as a rejuvenating contrast to their busy day-to-day lives. For those who want it all, we can craft a personalized vacation that combines pure beach bliss with an adventurous beginning, middle or end.
You could start your vacation with an amazing African safari, and finish it on the beach in Mozambique, lying in the sun and diving amongst the corals. Or you visit explore ancient Mayan ruins, volcanoes and rainforests in Guatemala before heading to the beaches of Belize.
