🇯🇵 Japan is a 'hot' destination at the moment! 🇯🇵

I plan lots of exciting adventures to Japan for my clients, and if this is somewhere on your bucket list I thought I'd share a couple of our blogs on a couple of areas of Japan definitely worth visiting on a longer itinerary seeing more than just the main sights.

https://www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/inspiration/blog/explore-the-distinctive-charm-of-mie-japan/?selecteduser=catherine.mackey

Japan trips must be booked a good way in advance to ensure availability of accommodation, excursions and guides, so please get in touch if this destination is on your bucket list for a first time visit or going back to explore more remote parts of this beautiful country Xx

❄️🎅🏼 LAPLAND UPDATE 🎅🏼❄️

With less than 8 weeks to go until Christmas Day I’m gearing up with getting everything ready to go for my clients off to Lapland this winter.

My festive elves & I are busy preparing travel packs, festive goodies, and answering lots of questions ahead of everyone’s snowy adventures to make magical memories with their families in Lapland.

A few updates if you’ve not yet booked:

🎅🏼 November/December 24 🎅🏼

It is possible to find some pockets of availability still for this Christmas, which I can help seek out for you, but you will need to be super flexible with your dates of travel, and be prepared to make a decision on booking quickly as there are lots of people looking for last minute places. Some suppliers are offering free child places to fill the few remaining seats on the aircraft (very limited availability).

❄️ Jan-March 25 ❄️

If you are wanting to visit Lapland out of December without the Santa bits there are adventure trips available with all activities included. There are fewer flight options after December, so again flexibility on dates will be needed, and many organised trips are fully booked now, but I can help to find pockets of availability.

☀️ Spring/Summer/Autumn ☀️

Lapland is still a beautiful place to visit outside of the winter months, with long summer days, so if you’d like to visit then for a different experience of the destination get in touch!

⛄️ Christmas/Winter 25 and beyond into 2026 ⛄️

Dates for Santa trips for Nov/Dec 25 are filling up fast, and peak when everyone going this winter post all their amazing photos and videos of their experience on social media! Booking early is ESSENTIAL if you can only go on specific dates and want the pick of all the accommodation options etc. A few Santa trips & Adventure trips are on sale now until March 2026. The other benefit of booking early is being able to secure your place with a deposit and a longer amount of time to save up the balance payment.

As a Lapland Specialist I send many of families on Santa trips and adults/older children on adventure trips every single year, so if this is something you want to do please get in touch. I can also design tailor made packages if you prefer to do something more bespoke. You can do anything from a day trip, to 2,3,4 nights away or longer.

I have a dedicated Lapland page❄️ Lapland Holidays UK ❄️ if you’d like to keep up with info, offers & updates please give it a follow & share with your friends & family!

Please do get in touch if you are wanting to experience the magic and beauty of this wonderful destination!
