The Isles of Scilly

Expect a packed itinerary of daily excursions, with guided walks and talks led by local experts, a private boat trip to see wildlife, and plenty of island-hopping.

West Coast of Ireland: Galway Bay to the Cliffs of Moher

1-7 September 2024

Discover the natural and man-made wonders that layer the fascinating Burren and Cliffs of Moher with intrigue, and you stay in a Michelin-starred inn.

• Get under the skin of Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark, from its highest point to the network of curious caves that dwells beneath.
• Uncover the human stories of Ireland’s West Coast as you sail to an Iron Age fort on the striking Aran Islands and recognise scenery that has stolen the limelight in many Hollywood movies and TV series such as Father Ted.
• Enjoy Irish hospitality with traditional pub visits and music sessions.

Alberta’s Rockies and Badlands: Landscapes and Dinosaurs

16-22 June 2025

Delve into the wildly contrasting landscapes of southern Alberta, from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Badlands in the east. Our June 2024 tour group spotted the bears in this photo, taken by tour leader Jon Noad – this could be you next year!

• Walk along three beautiful glacial lakes: Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Grassi Lake
• Visit two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the rugged peaks and glacial features of the Banff portion of Canadian Rocky Mountain Park and the bone-riddled badlands of Dinosaur Provincial Park.
• Examine world-class dinosaur fossils and take a backroom tour at the Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology in Drumheller, then see dinosaur excavation sites normally off-limits to the public at Dinosaur Provincial Park.
