There are wonderful opportunities to go on luxury adventure holidays throughout the year. However, if you’re looking to visit a specific region, some times of year are better than others, especially if you’re planning on spending lots of time outdoors. The poles are only accessible by boat at certain times of year due to sea ice and weather conditions.
If you’re planning on visiting remote villages, it’s particularly important to take weather into account as some places can become wholly cut off during, for example, monsoon seasons. Our team of experts can talk you through the very best times to visit different destinations, so you can have an amazing time exploring.
Summer in Antarctica is a great time to see penguins and seals. The long days allow plenty of light for spotting the stunning wildlife which calls Antarctica home. Penguin chicks are also born in the summertime.
Ras Al Khaimah is great to visit in January and February if you want it to be a nice temperature for exploring.
December to February is the dry season across Central America, making it a very popular time of year for visiting the region. Whether you want to explore a temple or trek through the jungle, this is the time to do it.
March is when the festival of Holi takes place in India, an amazing time to visit to see the incredible colours exploding into life.
Chile is fantastic in March as the grapes are harvested and wine making begins. This is a great time to experience small local harvest festivals and try some incredible vintages. April sees turtle eggs hatching in the Galapagos, making this a great time to experience an unforgettable natural wonder. May marks the beginning of Brazil’s dry season, making it a good time to visit.
It’s summertime in the Arctic, when you’ll see polar bears, hungry from winter, hunting seals out on the ice. July and August are the best time for whale watching, with humpbacks and blue whales visiting the Arctic waters.
It’s the warmest time of year in Kazakhstan and thus one of the best times to explore the countryside. Enjoy a dip in a beautiful mountain lake to cool off after hiking through the woods.
Visit the South Pacific to make the most of the beautiful sunny weather and enjoy the range of outdoor pursuits available on the islands.
Springtime is when there’s the most rain in the Australian outback, transforming the dry and inhospitable landscape into one bedecked in beautiful wild flowers. If you’re looking to spend lots of time outside exploring, this is a great time to visit.
October sees Laos and Cambodia begin to dry out, and they’re looking their very best after the rainy season. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are all fantastic in November, making this one of the most popular times of year for exploring these countries.
