Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.

Active Japan: Hokkaido in Winter, Sea Ice to Onsens

Fri, 24 Jul 26 04:00:08 +0000

Hokkaido in winter doesn't do subtle either — everything's just quieter under snow. Snowshoe deep into the frozen hush of Shiretoko Five Lakes, drift across sea ice off the coast, and spend an afternoon with the Ainu Kotan learning stories older than the season itself. The reward comes at dusk, in a traditional onsen, snow still falling outside.

India & Nepal: Golden Triangle and the Himalayas

Fri, 24 Jul 26 04:00:08 +0000

India sets the scene — community-led Delhi, a sunset Taj Mahal, a lakeside heritage fort in Rajasthan. Then Nepal brings some serious highs — Himalayan foothills, Gurung villages, wellness in Pokhara, and jungle safaris through Chitwan — all before Bhaktapur's ancient squares bring it home. Two countries. Zero reasons to rush home.

Track wildlife on foot beside a Maasai guide, watch the Great Migration unfold across the Mara, then trade the plains for Seychelles' shores, where giant tortoises roam and the Creole cooking does the rest.

Then Bhutan closes it out with mountain passes, prayer flags, and a monastery clinging to a cliff at 3,000 metres — because a trip like this deserves to end on one heck of a high.

Madeira: Pico do Arieiro, Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz

Fri, 24 Jul 26 04:00:08 +0000

Madeira wears two faces, and this trip shows you both. One is wild — volcanic ridges above the clouds, ancient forests thick with mist, ocean pools carved from black rock. The other is warm — long lunches with local families, folklore dinners that spill into dancing, poncha poured a little too generously. Somewhere between the two, the island's soul comes through.

We believe single travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip.
