Tornados are one of the most destructive and awe-inspiring weather phenomena on Earth.

The sheer power of these swirling funnels can be felt for miles around, and while we should all have some healthy fear and fascination, we have access to a few brave individuals who routinely place themselves in the 'eye of the storm', all in the name of science.

Come with us as we introduce you to some of the finest meteorologists in their field. Head out with them onto the front line to track some of the fiercest storms that occur annually along the infamous 'Tornado Alley' of America's Midwest. You will chase the storm (as close as is safely possible) and then work alongside the meteorologists to take samples and analyze weather patterns – your work will contribute to ongoing research into climate change.

This is your chance to get involved and have a tangible impact on a globally significant project, whilst also being at the epicentre of one of the world’s greatest weather spectacles.

Few natural phenomena can match the power and spectacle of a volcanic eruption.

The sheer force of nature as molten lava spews from the Earth's crust is mesmerising – it’s the planet at its most raw.

Hawaii and Iceland are great options for seeing glowing lava flows and the orange epicentre of the volcano.

Our experts will guide you to the best viewing spots, whether that’s by a dramatic helicopter flight over the scene or a hike over epic blackened lava fields. Learn about the rocks beneath your feet with our geologists and explore the surrounding areas to see the stunning lunar landscapes.

As travellers and explorers we often go in search of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. The highest mountains, the whitest sands, the lushest forests. But sometimes the most beautiful experiences can’t be pinpointed to an exact place on a map. They’re changeable, and we humans need to track them down - like the Northern Lights, or the eye of a storm, or blood falls and fire rainbows.

Witnessing first-hand some of the world’s greatest weather spectacles can give you an experience like no other, and photographs that few will believe. With our years of experience and our indispensable contact book of experts, we can help you to track them down.

Mount Iwate is a large snow-capped volcano at the back of Morioka City. Here it is pictured behind a perfectly positioned Japanese Cherry Blossom tree - the perfect epitome of springtime in Northern Japan.

Opening in just a couple of months, Mount Iwate can be climbed during the summer season. There are several hiking trails available - great for intermediate hikers looking for a new challenge.

Although not quite as famous as the Japanese cherry blossoms, plum blossoms (ume) are one of the earliest blooming flowers in Japan. They start blooming from mid-February until mid-March and unlike cherry blossoms, they have a sweet fragrance that is said to be a symbol of spring in Japan.

Plum blossom is often associated with the Samurai culture in Japan and is used as a motif in traditional Japanese art, such as Ukiyo-e prints. It is also often used to make plum wine (umeshu) and pickled plums (umeboshi). It is said to have various health benefits, such as improving digestion and boosting the immune system.

Some landscapes are so incredible that they just don’t seem real, and the Banaue Rice Terraces definitely fall into that category. Stretching thousands of feet high and carved into the earth by hand, the rice terraces in the mountainous regions of Ifugao and northern Luzon Island date back more than 2,000 years.

One of the best ways to explore is on foot. Hike the rugged terrain with our guide, take in the scents and sounds of the rice fields, and stop off at the local waterfalls and swimming spots to cool off. Or take a more leisurely tour by road, meet the locals who still farm the land according to their ancestors’ ancient techniques, and sample the fruits of their labour.

The verdant landscape is stunning and can take your breath away, but it’s the history, the community, and the traditions of the area that elevate this place to the world stage.

Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu rises 4,095m above sea level. It’s vast, and the climb can be long and hard, but it takes you through some of the planet’s most biodiverse landscapes and the view at the summit is hard to beat – even on a cloudy day. Much of the wildlife is found early on in the trek in the lush, thick jungle – the kind from storybooks. Our expert guide can point out the birds and the butterflies to spot (there are thousands of different varieties here) as well as find the best rest stops beside stunning temples or gushing waterfalls.

After a while, the landscape slowly changes into vast open paddy fields and small villages where the locals can offer some refreshments. And then it’s into the moonscape as you near the top, where spikey granite peaks soar above the clouds.

Each part of this trek is stunning in its own right but experiencing them all on one walk – that’s what makes it world-class.

We may all know the iconic temple at the heart of Angkor Wat, with its intricate towers and symmetrical lines, but for a true sense of the scale, spirituality, and sheer feat of human endeavour that this vast temple complex offers, you have to see it in person.

We can arrange a personal tour for you by a worldwide Angkor authority and take you to areas normally closed off to the general public, where our guide will shed light on the ongoing conservation work. Dot around the complex on a local tuk-tuk and then enjoy the aromatic flavours of Cambodia over lunch (amok, the local fish curry, is delicious). Then watch the sun go down in the evening and enjoy the view as those famous silhouettes emerge on the skyline.

There are a few stories about how the Million Dollar Highway, Colorado, got its name – perhaps it’s the million-dollar views? Or the cost per mile of building it? Or there’s the tale about the gravel containing gold and silver tailings. Whatever the reason, the name fits perfectly for this dramatic, fun, and sometimes thrilling stretch of undulating mountain road.

12/02/2023

Colorado is a hiker's paradise, with a diverse range of scenic trails that offer something for every level of experience.

The Four Pass Loop, located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, offers a challenging hike over four mountain passes with stunning views of the Maroon Bells and other peaks in the Elk Mountains.

And then there is Fes. Exotic, crazy, bohemian, bold – there are so many adjectives to describe Fes, but really you just have to see it, wander the narrow, looping streets, and get lost. Fes is often referred to as Morocco’s cultural capital, largely because of its rich history as the home of scholars, philosophers, and artisans – all of whom left their mark.

The Medieval architecture looks magical – old palaces, huge domed rooftops, elaborate mosques, and arches everywhere, framing views as if they are living postcards. And it looks even more amazing at night, when the coloured tiles and the curving shapes catch the candlelight and form beautiful shadows.

In the heart of Marrakech, a magical circus begins. Live music, acrobats, traditional dancers – they each have their spot and their moment to entertain. Soak it all up over a mint tea at a lantern-lit bar, or let our local guide take you through the city’s Medina, or old town, talking you through the history, taking you for the most delicious treats, and the best spice and souvenir stalls in town.

24/01/2023

Hippocrates referred to olive oil as “the great healer” and Homer named it “liquid gold” for its positive effects on health. But, did you know that there is actually an olive oil made with particles of 23-carat edible gold?

Hidden in Spongano, a small town in Puglia, Patrick Guerrand-Hermès, great-grandson of Thierry, the founder of the French luxury house, and his wife Martine own five acres of ancient groves where they grow and produce olive oil with selected olives harvested directly from the tree and cold pressed.

In addition, by reservation only and in limited quantities is their Extra Virgin Olive Oil Histoire d'O ® Gold (with edible gold 23 Kt) presented in a fine engraved bottle, enclosed in a solid ash case, and signed by Madame Martine Guerrand-Hermès herself.

During your spring break in Puglia, we want you to embrace your inner film star.

With its Tyrolean charm, onion-domed church, and picture-perfect luxury chalets, St Anton could fool you into thinking it is a sleepy little ski resort. However, the truth is far from it.

One of the greatest ways to appreciate the whole area is to take on the Run of Fame – a 65km route that starts in St Anton and ends on the far side of the Arlberg in the resort of Warth-Schröcken.
