Dreamtime Travel

Dreamtime Travel Award-winning Travel Planners based in Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex offering knowledgeable, friendly
(34)

Established in 1998 Dreamtime Travel has grown from a small 'one-man-band' specialist operator for niche longhaul travel into a small team of worldwide experienced travel experts. While we still have a specialist department that can plan your holidays and travel to Australia, New Zealand and Round-the-World our staff are equally qualified to book your summer holiday to Europe, city break or 'stayc

ation' at home in the UK. We can advise on all aspects of ocean or river cruising as well as organising everything from travel insurance to airport/port parking to lounge access at airports the world over. Our association with Kuoni as "Kuoni Select" agents means that the latest brochures, hot off the press, will always be in stock and guarantees us great access to the very best Kuoni Holidays. Our groups department is growing quickly and is now in its third year running escorted groups to Northern Norway to hunt for the elusive Northern Lights as well as making occasional trips to the Emilia Romagna region of Italy to an agri-tourismo destination for culinary/cultural weeks.

A tricky morning here in Western Road! Some of the street (including our office) is currently without power. If you’re attempting to call us this morning and can’t get through, please do keep trying. We will respond to emails once we are back up and running!

EDIT: 1230 - We’re back. Power has been restored and phone lines are active again!

With April quickly passing we wanted to let you know our office hours over the Easter break. We will be closed on Thursday (as per our usual hours) and return to our desks on Tuesday April 19th at 9.30am.

If you've been among the many clients - regular and new - to be visiting or calling us recently to make your future travel bookings we'd really like to thank you for your valued business and for bearing with us through what has been an extremely busy period. The industry as a whole is struggling hard to keep up with amazing demand, which even the most optimistic of us could never have really foreseen, as the world progressively transitions away from travel restrictions. If things have taken a little longer than usual then we thank you for being patient!

We look forward to seeing you in the office again soon!

We look forward to welcoming you back soon…!

While you, like us, may be a little frustrated with the Government's announcement surrounding travel yesterday, we accept that "it is what it is" and we'll await further news and hopefully a nice increase in available destinations as things progress.

In the meantime, if you're itching to get away here's our take on the best "Green List" options!

1. Portugal - something for everybody. The first option to allow us to escape for a traditional 'package' holiday. Head to the beaches of the Algarve and simply flop in the sun, laze around the pool or dust off your golf clubs and enjoy some of the finest courses in Europe. Take a short break in Lisbon or Oporto and enjoy the atmosphere of these fantastic cities. We'd personally recommend the charming town of Cascais, just a short distance from Lisbon (can easily combine a couple of days in each) and a stay at the lovely Pestana Cidadela in the historic Pousada and Art District.

2. Iceland - quite literally one of Dreamtime Travel's favourite destinations and one with which we have plenty of experience/expertise. Presently, in addition to some of the most incredible scenery anywhere we've ever witnessed, there's the added bonus of a visit to see the spectacular volcano that's currently erupting.....! Couple this with some really cool accommodation options, relaxing in a geothermal hot pool, taking a SuperJeep tour to the snowfields and glacier, meeting the super-friendly locals and attempting a shot of Brennivin as a part of your "Black Death" experience (not for the feint-of-heart) and we guarantee you will make some truly unique travel memories in this wonderful island nation.

3. Gibraltar. Always popular, classic elegant hotels with lovely pools and a perfect short break destination for a few days of warm sunshine. Watch out for any monkey business on The Rock though!!

4. Israel. Perhaps join an escorted tour of the Holy Land and visit numerous ancient sites rich in history. Cosmopolitan Tel Aviv serves as a start and end point for your tour, and would more than warrant it's own trip for a city break. With some extra flights added recently there is plenty of availability to a country that you may not have considered in the past.

5. Singapore, Australia, New Zealand. While we've been given the okay for us to go here, sadly our friends in these countries aren't quite ready to have us visit them yet. We know that many of you are keen to get to Australia and/or NZ for that trip of a lifetime or you are among our clients that are regular visitors. We are also very aware that many of you wish to head Down Under to visit your friends and family that you've been kept apart from for so long. Take heart, these countries will open up again in due course and things will return to normal. Our advice? Give some thought to beginning your planning now and book ahead in anticipation of travel resuming. Appointments to see us in the office are available.

6. Falklands, South Georgia, St Helena! Contrary to what you may perceive, it IS actually feasible to visit these interesting destinations! Sure it's a little more off-the-beaten-track and it costs a bit more than your average holiday but there are specialist operators that have itineraries (generally by sea) that will feature these ports of call and at Dreamtime Travel we have experience of booking these for our clients! Do ask if your interest is piqued!!

Our office currently remains open on an ad-hoc basis only and as mentioned above appointments are available to discuss any and all of your travel requirements, and don't forget that includes UK holidays too. Remember we can help with coach tours, hotels, cottages, parks and lodges and boating holidays UK-wide.

Please feel free to message or call us on 07790 902686 to arrange to meet with us in the office, or if you have any travel plans you'd like to discuss.

Hello page followers and friends! We hope you are all well.
It's been a while since we've been able to give you any meaningful updates and it does seem that we still don't quite have anything 'cast-iron' to tell you about the potential re-launching of overseas travel just yet. Until the Government decide to give us some clearer information and firm dates to work with (and hopefully this is not too far away now) we will continue to work from home on an "as and when you need us" basis and on an appointment basis at the office.

Despite the lingering uncertainty it does look as if we *should* be able to get you away on your holidays this summer at some stage. We know that many of you will be keen to book a UK staycation of some sort, demand for which will be very high. Scotland is proving particularly popular and we are putting together some great tailor-made self-drive trips including the North Coast 500 scenic route along with the Highlands and Islands. Holiday parks, cottages and self-contained accommodation UK-wide will very busy and in all the usual hotspots you will need to book as soon as possible. So if you have the Lakes, Peak District, Cornwall or Devon in your sights then do get in touch today!

Many of our cruise line partners are basing ships in the UK this summer and offering a fantastic range of 'Seacation' cruises and mini breaks calling only at ports within UK coastal waters. Why not take advantage of these great offers and see a little more of the British Isles!

Bookings for later this year and well into 2022 are also starting to come in now as people become more confident that other destinations such as Australia and New Zealand will be opening their borders and welcoming the return of tourism and travellers who haven't been able to visit friends and family while restrictions were in place.

As mentioned above, while we work on a tentative program to properly re-open the office we are happy to safely welcome you back from this Monday (12th April) by appointment. If you are keen to come and talk to us about your future travel plans then please do call or message us and we will happily arrange to meet with you at a mutually convenient time 🙂

FEBRUARY UPDATE:

As we rapidly approach March (just where exactly did the time go?!) and we still find ourselves under restrictions that prevent us from meeting you in the office, we thought we'd update you with our current take on your options for travel this Summer and beyond!

We remain contactable over the phone on 07790 902686, by email: [email protected], or you can message us here on our page and we'll reply as soon as we can!

You will see lots of ongoing speculation in the media regarding future travel/proposed re-opening dates for overseas and domestic holidays/vaccine passports and so on and so forth. Obviously until firm announcements are made there is no absolute certainty and we'd not like to second guess the 'powers that be' at this stage.

However, what can be said for sure is that the vaccination rollout is proceeding very nicely and positive data continues to flow in with regard to efficacy and protection. Also, countries that depend on us for their summer package-holiday tourist season (Greece, Spain, Turkey, Cyprus etc etc) are understandably very keen to facilitate the safe passage of holidaymakers from the UK to their beaches, bars and restaurants.

From our side, there's no doubt that interest is starting to increase and demand will likely follow quite quickly. Those "resilient" and regular travellers among our clients who have been poised and waiting for so long to make their bookings once things were safe and prudent to do so are beginning to get in touch, and these bookings will no doubt be followed by others as consumer confidence returns.

If you have a booking you'd like us to make or you've got some travel plans you're looking for some help with then please do get in touch with us and we'll be delighted to assist. Booking early for an overseas trip or staycation in the UK has always been a good idea - be at the front of the queue, get the best choice and get a good price by booking in advance. And of course, book with Dreamtime Travel so that you have someone that is always contactable to look after you through the whole process!

Perhaps you're among those who might just like to chat about the possibility of a holiday but are feeling a little hesitant or confused about rules/regulations/unpredictability? Again, please don't hesitate to call us and we'll happily share our professional advice and answer any questions you have based on our knowledge and experience - that's what we're here for! ✈️
