Plan Now, Adventure Later

Inspired by Intrepid

The best adventures start with a plan and some trips need a little patience and planning. From necessary training for multi-day hikes or timing your travels around seasonal events, a bit of foresight goes a long way. Plus, there’s nothing like having an amazing trip to daydream about. So, grab your calendar, channel that wanderlust and get ready to start planning your next adventure!

Whale Watching in Antarctica 

Set your sights on the ultimate expedition to Antarctica in 2026, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead. February to March is prime whale time, when these gentle giants are out in full force and brimming with curiosity. After a season of feasting, they’re feeling playful and ready to put on a spectacular show just for you with flips and tail-slapping.

India Safari 

Ready for a wild safari? Spot wildlife in India but make sure to book at least four months ahead to snag a park permit for Panna or Bandhavgarh National Park. Plan wisely, as these parks take a rain check during the monsoon season from July to September. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive royal Bengal tiger (also known as the Indian tiger) and as night falls, let the stars guide you in Satpura National Park. From leopards and jungle cats to fruit bats and flying squirrels, be ready to spot the nocturnal wildlife in its habitat.

Hiking to Mount Kilimanjaro 

You don’t want to skip the training for this one - it's recommended that you take at least 2 to 3 months to get physically prepared for this adventure. Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, offers an epic journey through lowland forests and dry mountain deserts. With guides and porters to help along the way, you’ll camp under the stars and soak in the views. At the summit, 5,896 meters above sea level, feel the exhilaration and pride as you take in the incredible views and reflect on what you’ve just accomplished. 

Galapagos Southern Islands

Travelling across the Galápagos Islands can be quite an intimate experience. With not many people on board a cruise to the Southern Islands, you'll be part of an exclusive crew, so it's wise to plan and book sooner rather than later. With fewer people around, you'll get closer to the wildlife, including impressive giant tortoises and the chance to birdwatch for blue-footed boobies along the shore.

Greenland Expedition

Thanks to its remote location, Greenland has limited flight options, so it's worth booking early. Accommodation in Nuuk or Ilulissat is in high demand during the summer months and availability is limited. If you want to experience Iceland in a unique way, some training will be needed to explore on foot. Walk the wild landscape, including glaciers and take in the unique views. Experience the midnight sun, where the sun never truly sets!

Bhutan Rhododendrons

You’ve heard about Japan’s cherry blossoms, but what about Bhutan’s rhododendrons? Visit in spring to see them at their best. Spring brings over 46 species of beautiful wild rhododendrons, native to Bhutan, which are a symbol of pure and divine beauty. You can also enjoy the sight of other blooming flowers like daphne, orchids, magnolia, clematis, primrose, pieris, prunus and enkianthus.
