Were you watching Travel Guides tonight where they are in Finland? We are going there in February 2026 and I have a couple of cabins left if you want to come along. They rated it 5 stars out of 5...so do I - I love this tour - so many wonderful experiences - we don't get in the cold water though - unless of course you want to...

Here's some pics from my adventures there with groups.

New itinerary out now - direct flights from Sydney. Let me know if you want to come and play...

I have limited rooms available for the Te Maeva Nui festival 60th Anniversary celebration tour for July next year.

Te Maeva Nui is the Cook Islands celebration of their constitution and is one of the biggest events on their calendar with a trader ship going to all of the outer islands and bringing back choirs and dancers who will represent their island in the concerts each night.

This is a true cultural celebration and being the 60th anniversary will be bigger and better than any before. We were there for the 50th anniversary and it was outstanding.

If you are interested in coming with us on this tour, please get back to me as soon as possible as the whole island will be booked out for this fabulous celebration.

When it comes to travel, you get what you pay for—and that’s why we pride ourselves on offering true value for money.

We’ve experienced first hand what happens when budget tours cut corners:

Long, exhausting coach days with little time to explore.

Arriving at destinations after dark, and having to walk to accommodations.

Seasonal activities promised but unavailable, due to closures.

Minimal inclusions beyond transport, basic accommodation, and the occasional meal.

That’s not how we believe travel should be.

At Trade Travel, we ensure every tour is carefully planned, so you’re not just getting from A to B—you’re creating meaningful experiences.

With us, you’ll enjoy:

✅ Well-paced days with plenty of time to explore and relax.
✅ Thoughtfully curated itineraries that consider seasonal timings.
✅ Comfortable group sizes and quality accommodation.
✅ Delicious meals and immersive activities that showcase the best of each destination.

Don’t gamble on your precious travel time.
Choose a company that puts your experience first. 💼✨
