Beachy Belize – 7 October – $402 OFF
Join us in October 2023 for five-days of glorious coastal fun in this tropical paradise. Belize might be part of mainland Central America but the vibe is very much Caribbean, with its palm trees, white-sand beaches and cayes.

The entirety of our tour is based from the splendid peninsula of Placencia, where you’ll get to stay at a luxurious resort with its own private beach. We’ll take you snorkelling in the Belize Barrier Reef, cruising down Monkey River and on a rainforest hike in search of jaguars. There’ll be plenty of time to chill on the beach, too, and we’ll round off the trip with a gorgeous sunset cruise. Book today and save a whopping $402!

Epic Morocco – 7 October and 4 November – $702 OFF
Shoulder season is the ideal time to visit Morocco. The summer heat can be a little too intense, particularly if you want to explore the country fully. October and November is still hot but in a far more pleasant way, making it the perfect time to join our comprehensive 11-day tour. You’ll take in a diverse range of cities, from coastal Casablanca to ancient Fes and the blue streets of Chefchaouen. Then we’ll showcase this country’s awesome geographical diversity, starting with a venture deep into the Sahara, where you’ll spend a night star gazing and wine tasting at a luxury desert camp. Wake up early for a sunrise camel ride and swap sand dunes for rocky gorges in the incredible Atlas Mountains. The trip ends in Marrakech, Morocco’s most vibrant city, where you’ll be treated to a street food tour and cooking class. Book onto either our October or November trip to save $702.

Ultimate Egypt – 5 October and 12 October – $688 OFF
Similarly to Morocco, the best time to visit Egypt is in shoulder season, when the desert heat isn’t quite so intense. You can still expect a lot of sunshine – the highs will be high and the lows will never be low – but you shouldn’t have to worry about burning out mid-adventure. We’ve only got another two versions of our 10-day itinerary running for the rest of 2023, and both are on offer, with savings of $688 on the cards. The trip includes a deep-dive in the bustling streets of Cairo, a visit to the Pyramids and the Sphinx, as well as a luxurious river cruise down the Nile, which allows us to explore the temples, tombs and river islets further south.

Tropical Northern Thailand – 12 November – $445 OFF
November might just be the perfect time to visit the northern jungles of Thailand. Temperatures are comfortably warm – do pack a jumper for chillier evenings – and, crucially, it’s dry season.

After fuelling up on street food in Chiang Mai we’ll head out to the jungle, where craggy canyons, natural hot springs and countless waterfalls await. The highlight is without doubt our final day, when you’ll embark on a sunrise hike to the peak of Doi Inthanon – Thailand’s tallest peak – followed by an enlightening visit to an ethical elephant sanctuary, where you’ll have the chance to feed, walk and bathe the country’s gentlest giants. Book our November trip today to save $445.

A Taste of Taiwan by Train – 30 December – $548 OFF
This nine-day Rail Trip, which loops around the gorgeous Asian island of Taiwan, is looking like one of our most popular itineraries for 2024, so get ahead of the curve and book yourself a spot on this trip, which takes in the New Year in the Far East. Temperatures can drop here in December, but highs can still reach 25C (77F), so you can still expect some glorious winter sun. This place is about far more than the weather, though, and our trip takes in an eclectic range of cities, including Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung, as well as serene natural landscapes like Sun Moon Lake and Taroko Gorge. We recommend booking this trip for two reasons: first is the incredible array of foodie experiences, ranging from bustling night markets to a professional cooking class; and the second is the magical train journey along the country’s East Coast National Scenic Area. Book today, save $548, see out 2023 in style and start 2024 as you mean to go on.
