An island-hopping adventure through the Gulf of Thailand

Thailand has long been a favourite for island escapes, but rather than choosing just one destination, why not experience several?

With reliable ferry connections making travel between the islands straightforward, it's never been easier to combine multiple destinations into one unforgettable holiday. Start with a few days in Bangkok before heading south to Koh Samui, then continue your adventure to Koh Tao and Koh Phangan, creating a trip that balances culture, relaxation, and adventure.

Island-hopping in Japan: discover the country's best-kept tropical secret

10 July 2026

When most people picture Japan, they think of cherry blossom, ancient temples, neon-lit cities, and snow-capped Mount Fuji. But venture a little further south and you'll discover a completely different side of the country. Welcome to Okinawa and the Yaeyama Islands, a chain of subtropical islands where white-sand beaches, coral reefs, lush mangroves, and crystal-clear seas replace bustling city streets. It feels worlds away from Tokyo and Kyoto, yet it's still unmistakably Japan, with the same warm hospitality, exceptional food, and effortless way of travelling. If you're looking to add something unexpected to a Japan itinerary, or simply want to experience a side of the country that many international visitors miss, island-hopping through Okinawa is one of Japan's most rewarding adventures.
