CENTRAL/SOUTH AMERICA
Explore Machu Picchu,
the "Lost City of the Incas"
This incredible Incan ruin that sits in the middle of a tropical mountain forest dates all the way back to the 15th century. It’s among the world’s greatest artistic and architectural achievements and stands as a testament to the sophistication of the Incan people. Looking out over the lush green terraces, it’s impossible not to imagine what it was like to live there amongst such phenomenal beauty.

EUROPE
Catch the Northern Lights
in Finland & Iceland
The shimmering Aurora Borealis can be elusive, but for those lucky enough to catch nature’s most spectacular light show, it’s an absolutely magical experience. In Finland, sleep in a glass igloo amid the Lappish wilderness and watch the light dance above your bed. In Iceland, take a night time cruise in search of the dazzling astronomical display. It’s even more incredible as it reflects off the water.

SOUTH PACIFIC
Experience the Great Barrier Reef
See one of the seven wonders of the natural world when you climb aboard a high-speed catamaran and set off for the Great Barrier Reef. It’s the world’s largest living organism, and you’ll find over 2,800 individual coral reef systems that are home to amazingly diverse marine life. Choose to explore the Reef your way. Take a glass bottom boat out to sea to almost feel as if you’re swimming with the fish. Jump in the water to snorkel, stroll along the walking trails, relax on the beaches, or just watch the fish and sea turtles swim past from the pier. No matter how you see it, the Reef never disappoints.

AFRICA
Go on an African Safari to see
“The Big 5”
No trip to Africa would be complete without going out on a wildlife safari in search of the “Big Five:” elephants, rhinos, buffalos, lions and leopards. Safaris allow you to get up close (but not too close!) to these magnificent animals in their natural habitat. Not only will you get to see the animals, but you’ll also be surrounded by incredible scenery. Bring your camera and your binoculars. You won’t want to miss a thing!

The Grand Canyon

It is vast, astounding, awesome and staggeringly beautiful. Incredible views are everywhere with each angle offering something new and equally extraordinary. It’s not uncommon to shed a tear at the overwhelming majesty.

ASIA
Witness the art of traditional
Ama pearl divers
Believed to be a 2,000 year old practice, the Ama (海女 “sea women”) were known to dive for shellfish and seaweed. These fascinating women were honoured for their findings and their tradition has since been included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Today, travellers can visit Ise-Shima, Japan to watch these skilled divers search the sea floor for shellfish and pearls.
