Where will 2027 take you? Wildlife encounters, mountain hikes, ancient sites and cities that demand to be explored are all on the list. We’ve picked 10 adventure holiday destinations worth having on your radar for the year ahead.
1. Vietnam
There’s rarely a dull day in Vietnam. On our adventure holiday in Vietnam, travel through busy cities, rice-growing countryside and coastal scenery as you make your way through the country.
Take a cyclo ride through Hanoi’s Old Quarter, cruise the waters of Bai Tu Long Bay and visit Hoi An, known for its lantern-lit streets and historic architecture. You’ll also visit the Cu Chi Tunnels and spend time around the waterways of the Mekong Delta.
2. Nepal
The Himalayas are reason enough to consider Nepal, but there’s much more waiting beyond the mountains.
On our Nepal tour, spend time among the temples and streets of Kathmandu before pulling on your walking boots for trails through the foothills.
The pace changes again in Chitwan National Park, where canoe trips and walking safaris offer the chance to look out for rhinos, crocodiles and other wildlife.
3. Borneo and Malaysia
A holiday in Malaysia & Borneo moves between city streets, cool highlands and some of Southeast Asia’s most exciting wildlife experiences.
Walk through UNESCO-listed George Town, learn about tea production in the Cameron Highlands and see Kuala Lumpur by bike before visiting the Batu Caves. Over in Borneo, orangutans take centre stage at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, while a cruise on the Kinabatangan River gives you the chance to keep watch for wildlife from the water.
4. South Africa
Few destinations can switch things up quite like South Africa. One day could have you watching for the Big Five on safari in Kruger National Park; another could be spent in Cape Town beneath Table Mountain.
Stellenbosch and Franschhoek add vineyards and wine tasting into the mix, showing just how much variety you can fit into one South Africa holiday.
5. Jordan
Walking boots, snorkel, 4x4 – you’ll put them all to good use in Jordan. Hike in the Mujib and Dana Nature Reserves, snorkel in the Red Sea and cross the desert scenery of Wadi Rum before spending the night at a desert camp. There’s also the unusual experience of floating in the Dead Sea.
And then there’s Petra. Enter through the narrow Siq and emerge in front of the Treasury before continuing through this vast archaeological site.

6. China
China is big in every sense, and our China tour covers some serious ground.
Beijing introduces you to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square and Temple of Heaven, while a walk on the Great Wall gets you out of the city and into the surrounding hills. In Xi’an, come face to face with the Terracotta Army before travelling onwards to Tibet and the Potala Palace in Lhasa.
7. India
India doesn’t do dull. Our India holiday takes in the famous sights of the Golden Triangle, including Humayun’s Tomb, the Taj Mahal and Amber Fort, but there’s time to get involved too.
Settle in for a Bollywood film, start the morning with a yoga session and learn about life outside India’s major cities. It’s a trip of contrasts, with something different around every corner.

8. Romania
Think medieval towns, forested mountains and a castle with a connection to Dracula. Our Transylvania Walling holiday takes you into the Carpathian Mountains and through one of Romania’s most fascinating regions.
Spend time in Sighisoara, Viscri and Brasov, step inside Bran Castle and finish with a change of scene in Bucharest.
If the mountains are calling, take a look at our walking and hiking experiences in Romania.
9. Morocco
Morocco changes character quickly. Marrakech is all busy souks and city energy, while Fes draws you into a maze of historic medina streets. Beyond the cities, the High Atlas Mountains offer the chance to stretch your legs against a completely different backdrop.
Then there’s the Sahara. Take a camel ride across the dunes and experience the scale and silence of the desert for yourself.
10. Peru
Machu Picchu may be the name everyone knows, but a Peru tour has plenty packed in around it.
Spend time in Lima, discover archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley and wander the historic streets of Cusco. At Lake Titicaca, take to the water by boat and visit communities around its islands, with Machu Picchu providing one of the standout moments of the trip.
