OUR MOST POPULAR TRIPS
COSTA RICA LUXURY RAINFOREST AND ARCHITECTURAL MASTERPIECE TREEHOUSE-PURA VIDA
Spend part of your stay at either Nayara Tented Luxury at Arenal or Hacienda Alta Gracia further south, before transferring to an Olsen Kundig architectural masterpiece treehouse in Santa Teresa. Your days are spent living Pura Vida, searching for sloths, watching toucans, surfing, hiking, exploring the cloud forests and tranquil beaches.
BELIZE: RIDGE AND REEF
Belize is best enjoyed by splitting it up between a jungle lodge and time at the beach in Placencia or out on a caye. We choose Copal Tree lodge and Thatch Caye or Ray Caye for the very best in classic jungle and sea adventure. Enjoy kayaking, birding, chocolate making, snorkeling with the chef or just relaxing by the pool. Belize is one of our favorite countries on earth and this is the exact way to do it.
THE ULTIMATE TANZANIA/
KENYA OR MOZAMBIQUE
SAFARI
There is so much to wade through when planning a safari. No fear. We have done all the leg work. We use Legendary Expeditions, Chem Chem lodge in Tanzania and Singita and Bush and Beyond in Kenya and & Beyond in Mozambique. Easy Peazy. These safaris are bespoke, away from the crowds with the very finest quality guides, lodges and itinerary. Bar none.
CROATIA AND MONTENEGRO ISLANDS
There are many islands to choose from. We love Hvar, Vis and Korcula with some time spent in either Split or Dubrovnik and then a couple of hours to the south to enjoy the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. Day Sailing, vineyards, hiking, lavender field tours, farm dinners. Swimming in the Adriatic is just different. Beautiful and glorius
ST. BARTH BY VILLA
Many people mistakenly think St. Barth is too expensive. It doesn't have to be at all. In fact some of the villa choices are some of the best values I see anywhere. It really is a huge bang for the buck and a delightful and gorgeous island. Daysailing, surfing, tennis, hiking, beach clubs, laying by the villa or hotel pool. We also love Anguilla, St. John, Bequia, Turks and a few others. We have been to 20 Caribbean islands so we can dial in anything.
CHAMONIX SUMMER OR WINTER
Chamonix has it all. You can throw a snowball to Switzerland or Italy. The snow is fantastic with all of the fondue and gluwine you can handle in the winter, and in the summer the hiking and other alpine pursuits are best in class. The villa inventory and hotel choices are fantastic as well.
SPAIN: BARCELONA/ COSTA BRAVA AND THE BALEARIC ISLANDS
Start in Barcelona sampling tapas in off the track vermouth bars, see the sites before heading up the coast to the turquoise water and white-washed buildings of Cadaques and the Costa Brava. finish your time in Spain with Majorca or Menorca done slowly and authentically. We know where the best trails are, the tiny coves and the small, independent hotels are that will blow you away.
ACTIVE IRELAND
We have two routes: the southern swing from Dublin, through Wicklow National Park to Killarny, where you will enjoy hiking the National park, Irish dancing, authentic wool sweater stores, high tea at the Lake Hotel. Continue on to Dingle, the Cliffs of Moher, before setting in Galway to explore more of the Wild Atlantic Way. Access the worlds fines golf and fly fishing if you care to. The other route is northerly through Belfast, Portrush and over to Donegal before driving through Conamara and setting for a few nights in Galway. We include a premier league game, walks, unreal seafood experiences while overlooking the turquoise sea, and so much more.
ONE NIGNT IN BANGKOK... THEN SEVERAL ON AN ISLAND AND IN THE MOUNTAINS
Start your journey at the legendary Peninsula Bangkok on the river. we will set you up the things you must do in this enchanting city before whisking you to one of our favorite southern islands. Days are spent getting massages on the beach, taking private boat tours, doing cooking classes. Then, board a short flight to Chiang Mai to bookend your experience with trekking, yoga, tours of temples and strolling about night markets and old town. This is the classic and best way to see Thailand.
GREEK: SMALL CYCLADES
Please don't ask us to do Santorini and party party Mykonos. We get our people into Athens and out to experience the slower, calmer and authentic Small Cyclades islands. Paros, Anti Paros, Sifnos etc. Days spent day sailing, hiking ancient routes, wine tasting, taking long lunches and reading by crystal clear waters.
REAL ALASKA
I worked in Denali National Park for five summers and I saw people come in from cruise ships looking so haggard. I don't think it is the way to do Alaska. We prefer to really see Alaska and not the ocean around it. 3 nights in Denali doing ranger led hikes, naturalist talks, Bus tours deep into the park. Then south to explore Talkeetna's Climbing traditions, a glacier landing with K2 aviation before heading south to Seward for sea kayaking, glacier tours and Halibut fishing. Along the way you will see and feel what makes Alaska so special.
THE WESTERN U.S SAFARI
There is, perhaps, no greater beauty on earth than the American west and no more interesting and tragic history. We start in Arizona, heading north through Sedona, the Grand Canyon and all of the red rock splendor near by, before moving north into the big sky of Montana. Get a pair of cowboy boots, learn to ride a horse and fly fish. We will interpret the story of the west and provide opportunities to see the real places that the big box tour companies pass by.
VINTAGE CARIBBEAN
There are Caribbean islands that are still resplendent, verdant, authentic and filled with wonderful people: Nevis, Anguilla, Dominica, Bequia. If you are looking for casinos and hair braiding, these are not your places. If you are looking for a genuine experiences filled with history, culture, insane beauty and fantastic cuisine- these are our places.
