Dazzling Brazil

No city on Earth knows how to throw a party quite like Rio de Janeiro, so if you’re celebrating your reunion in style then consider Brazil as the meeting point. Our nine-day tour is a celebration of many things, from music and drink to dance, art, architecture and coastal splendour. We’ll start with a guided tour of Sao Paulo before taking a detour to Paraty Bay. This scenic stretch of coastline is the perfect place to reminisce during a beach barbecue, a boat trip in the bay or simply a stroll down charming old cobblestone streets. The party really gets going in Rio, where we’ll spend four days exploring the city’s most famous sights, as well as picking up a few new moves at a local samba school, and spending plenty of time working on our volleyball technique on the Copacabana. Toast your reunion with a refreshing caipirinha cocktail as we watch the sun go down from an outdoor bar on the slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain.

Greek Island Odyssey

If you want a trip that doesn’t require a rigorous itinerary, Greece is your destination. Our eight-day island-hopping epic takes you from the historic streets of Athens to the stunning Cycladic islands of Milos, Naxos and Santorini. While we can arrange cooking classes, guided tours and boat trips, the laid-back nature of Greek island life means that you could also opt to bask in the beauty of golden beaches, crystal clear waters and charming old fishing villages. Our set itinerary includes a guided tour of the Acropolis, a cruise around Milos’ hidden coves and caves, as well as a culinary masterclass in rural Naxos, but on a private trip you can tweak the itinerary to suit your ideal group getaway. Just make sure you’re all together to watch the Santorini sunset on your final night – it’s a moment you’ll cherish forever.

Go Wild in the Galapagos

Some groups of giant tortoises have been hanging out together on the Galapagos Islands since around the time Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Take note of their laid-back approach to life to ensure your reunion group stays just as tight-knit. You’ll certainly have plenty of shared memories to enjoy if you opt for our five-day retreat on this archipelago off the coast of Ecuador. You’ll spend a couple of nights glamping with the tortoises themselves at a remote highland campsite, as well as kayaking, snorkelling and paddleboarding your way around the Itabaca Channel. Spot exotic birds along the lava trails of San Cristóbal, snorkel with sea lions and iguanas off Punta Carola Beach, and don’t forget to wave to the penguins waddling by on the beach.

Volcanic Iceland

Join us in the rugged landscapes of Iceland if you like your reunions to be adrenaline-fuelled and action-packed. Our five-day itinerary is the perfect way to get everyone immersed in nature, from the babbling hot springs of Borgarfjörður to the black-sand beach of Reynisfjara. You’ll get a private tour of the Golden Circle’s most spectacular sights, fuelling up on geothermally baked bread along the way. You’ll hike across the frozen tongue of Sólheimajökull and spend an afternoon snowmobiling across an icy glacier, before recuperating as a team with a good splash around in the milky waters of the Blue Lagoon. Evenings will be spent warming up in cosy pub corners, sipping on local craft beers and sinking the occasional shot of Brennivín, but keep an eye out for the Northern Lights – that’s a group photo you don’t want to miss out on.

View of the campfire at Zebra Plains Camp in the Masai Mara, Kenya

Immersive Kenya

The best setting to shoot the breeze and share old tales from your shared past is when gathered round a gently sparking campfire. That becomes extra special when said campfire is in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, an extension of the Serengeti, which is home to just about every animal you can imagine roaming the savannah. If you ever get bored of your best friend telling the same old story yet again, you could always turn your attention to the herds of zebra trotting by the camp, or simply turn conversation to reflect on more recent memories made – like our day spent with a rural Maasai tribe, or our Big Five-spotting safari adventures across the savannah.
