Island holidays

There is something irresistible about an island – always being surrounded by water, that castaway feeling as you gaze out to sea and of course, an excellent range of fresh seafood. Our planet is blessed with so many different kinds of islands – the lush jungles of Saint Lucia, windswept beaches of Vancouver Island, pretty atolls in the far-flung Pacific and the exotic wildlife of the Galapagos.

Whether you want to spend your holiday relaxing on a peaceful beach, hiking through rich forests with views over the ocean or visiting some of the most remote islands in the world – we’ve got you covered.

We're experts in planning island holidays, whether it's a relaxing break in Mauritius or a trip of a lifetime to French Polynesia - just give us a ring on 1273 320 580 or request a quote.

Pacific island holidays

If you’re looking for wild beaches, perfect snorkeling, and far-flung coves, then you should definitely plan a trip to the Pacific. There are endless islands to choose from, whether you wander along peaceful beaches, learn about traditional culture from the friendly locals or swim with manta rays in clear waters. Stay in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, watch dancers in the Marquesas Islands and sink your toes into the pink sands of Tikehau. Go island hopping in Fiji, swim in the turquoise lagoons of New Caledonia and cycle around the quiet roads of Rarotonga. No matter what kind of holiday you’re looking for, the Pacific will deliver.

Island hopping holidays

The only thing better than an island holiday is an island-hopping holiday! Jumping between different islands, exploring cultures and meeting friendly locals - it's such a good way to explore. Why not head off to Thailand, where you can watch fire shows on the beaches of Koh Lipe, snorkel off Koh Kood and feast on seafood in Koh Lanta. The Seychelles also has plenty of islands to discover, from the fragrant breezes of Praslin to the car-free paradise of La Digue. For Pacific island hopping, look no further than French Polynesia, where hundreds of islands are waiting to be explored. Swim with manta rays in the Huahine, admire the famous Mount Otemanu in Bora Bora and cycle past pink bougainvillea in Fakarava.


Remote island holidays

There's nothing we love more than helping people discover the furthest corners of the planet, tiny islands hidden away from the world. Exploring these incredible spots is our speciality, whether you want to learn about traditional dancing in the Marquesas Islands, stroll along the beach in Fernando de Noronha or watch the sun set behind Easter Island famous Moai statues. There are beautiful beaches to discover, from the pink sands of Tikehau in French Polynesia to the rugged shores of Christmas Island - just give us a call on 1273 320 580 or request a quote.


Wildlife island holidays

Some of the most fascinating wildlife in the world can be found on islands. The most famous of all is the Galapagos Islands, a haven of unique and bountiful birds and animals. Visiting these rugged islands offers the opportunity to swim with penguins, hike past black iguanas sunbathing on rocks and watch waved albatrosses soar above the cliffs. There are so many other places to discover - watching elephants in Sri Lanka, searching for black bears along the rugged coast of Vancouver Island and meeting reindeer in Iceland

Island honeymoons

There's nothing more romantic than an island honeymoon. We specialise in multi-centre honeymoons, whether that's looking for elephants and tasting spicy curries in Sri Lanka before a few days relaxing in the Maldives or driving the Pacific Coast Highway in the USA before some downtime in the Cook Islands. If you're looking for an entirely beach-based honeymoon, we can help there too. French Polynesia, Fiji and the Maldives are all beautiful spots for a relaxed, beachside romantic break.

North Atlantic island holidays

The wild Atlantic Ocean is full of rugged, rocky islands that are waiting to be discovered. With a British history stretching back for centuries, Bermuda is a volcanic island is home to white-washed lighthouses, pristine beaches, and a wonderful climate, with sunny days and cool, ocean breezes. Closer to Europe you'll find the lush mountains of the Azores, where dolphins and whales can be spotted in the choppy waters. On the American side, the pretty islands of Cape Cod are a great way to end a New England road trip, with sandy beaches, delicious seafood and peaceful sunsets. 


Indian Ocean island holidays

The Indian Ocean is full of paradise islands, from the lush peaks of Mauritius to the wide atolls of the Maldives. We love this part of the world - strolling along boulder-strewn beaches in the Seychelles, diving with whale sharks in Madagascar, indulging in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives and getting truly off-grid on Christmas Island. An Indian Ocean island break pairs perfectly with an African safari or some exploration in Asia, combining to make a wonderful multi-centre holiday. 


Asia island holidays

Asia is the perfect place to plan an island holiday - think golden sands, sumptuous seafood and spectacular snorkelling. Combine sugary beaches in Sri Lanka with elephant spotting in Yala National Park, swim with whale sharks off the islands of Indonesia and sink your toes into the white-sands of the Philippines. Walk hand in hand along the deserted beaches of Koh Ngai, sip cocktails in the Gili Islands and watch the sunrise from your overwater bungalow in the Maldives. Your money will go far in Asia, so if you're looking for luxury then look no further.
