Your drive to Hanalei Colony will take you past the Princeville Resort community, and this is where the magnificent journey truly begins. The Hanalei Valley lookout reveals a serene panorama: the Hanalei River, National Wildlife Refuge, and Kauai's famed taro fields-a patchwork quilt of green. Next up the road, a stunning view is unveiled of iconic Hanalei Bay encircled by mountains. A glimpse of what's to come.

You descend to the historic Hanalei Bridge-the first of seven one-lane bridges you will cross on your journey. From there you are transported into another world by a two-lane highway, meandering for the next several miles through an area of extraordinary beauty and rich history. You pass the quaint town of Hanalei, with its hippie/surfer vibe and eclectic mix of old-Hawaii charm and modern-day offerings. The Old Hanalei Schoolhouse, a historic building now home to boutique shops and restaurants. The picturesque green Wai'oli Hui'ia church, dwarfed by a backdrop of massive mountains.

The next four miles are a feast for the senses, bordered by emerald mountains laced with waterfalls and aquamarine seas framed by white sand beaches. Life slows down. Greens become greener; scents become earthier. Shafts of sunlight warm the trees, their colors altered by passing clouds. Then, in a tranquil place called Ha'ena, you will come upon Hanalei Colony.

There is nothing tame or polished about this area. It is raw, just as Mother Nature created it-a masterpiece conceived on a canvas of land, sea, and sky. The sunrise shimmering on the ocean; the hypnotic power of surging ocean waves; gentle sea mists; wind rustling the coconut fronds. Often, guests say they are illuminated, recharged, and transformed by their experience at Hanalei Colony. Strolling the beach with no destination in mind, sipping morning coffee to the sound of the surf, watching the moon and stars emerge over Hanalei Bay...these are powerful moments. For some people, life-changing. For most, magical.

THIS is the Hanalei Colony experience.

Osaka spring tour

Today, you'll be brought to see the city of Osaka in its full spring glory. Our first stop is the ancient Osaka castle, which if we are lucky, will be surrounded by beautiful pink cherry blossom. We'll walk through the charming castle grounds up to the castle itself which was constructed in 1583 on the former site of the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and was the largest castle at that time. Destroyed by fire several times, it has been rebuilt in its original form.

We then move on to the Dotombori area for lunch. Dotombori is celebrated for its billboards and advertising displays such as Glico's famous neon runner and a stroll through this area is a great way to experience the unique atmosphere of Osaka.

Cherry tree tour of Kyoto

This morning you'll meet your English-speaking guide in private chartered vehicle at approximately 9 a.m. for an exploration of Kyoto, focusing on ancient architecture in UNESCO World Heritage sites and the best places for cherry blossom. Start your tour with a peaceful and meditative two-kilometre stroll along a canal commonly known as the Philosopher's Path after the well-known Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida who used this route for daily meditation.

On the way, visit Ginkakuji, the Silver Pavilion which has an area of around 25,000 square meters and is known for its luxuriant growth of moss. The pavilion's garden is composed of two terraces, the upper of which is arranged in the style of a dry garden using stones, sand and plants with no water.

At the end of the Philosopher's walk, we will stop by at Nanzenji temple which is the head temple of the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism and one of the most important temples in all of Japan. Sitting on a large tranquil hillside, the temple's gardens are truly impressive with serene ponds and a sublime dry stone garden in one of the sub-temples.

We then continue towards the Heian Jingu shrine, one of Kyoto's most famous Shinto shrines which is beautifully depicted in Yasunari Kawabata's novel The Old Capital. Because of its fame as one of the most scenic spots to view cherry blossom in Kyoto, it can also unfortunately get quite crowded.
Enjoy lunch at your own account before you're transferred to Nijo Castle which was built by Tokugawa Leyasu the founder of the Edo shogunate. The Momoyama architecture is particularly interesting with its decorated sliding doors and wooden floors that squeak when walking on them - an ancient security measure against intruders. There are 430 cherry trees in the grounds of this magnificent historical setting and the castle and its surroundings are equally stunning by day or night.

Finally, take some time to visit unique antique shops specially chosen by our guide for the exceptional quality of their pieces on offer. If time allows, we'll also stop by Nishiki, a narrow shopping arcade that's only 400 meters in length with just over 100 vendors where you can discover Kyoto's distinctive culinary delicacies and surprising ingredients.

At the end of the tour you'll be brought back to your hotel where you can enjoy the evening at your leisure.

Four days in Kyoto
The cherry blossom in Kyoto usually blooms in last week of March through to the middle of April. Unfortunately, it's very hard to predict just when the cherry blossom will appear and how long it will last, so it's important to remember that we cannot guarantee that you see it during your stay. Luckily, there are plenty of beautiful sights to see in Kyoto. Spend your time in Kyoto looking out for the signature pink sakura blooms and admiring the impressive imperial beauty of the city, evident in the abundance of prewar buildings such as grand palaces, traditional "machiya" townhouses and ornate shrines. See kimono-clad geisha on their way to engagements and stroll in the celebrated Ryoan-ji rock garden. Make sure you visit the magnificent wooden Kiyomizu-dera and the Golden and Silver Pavilion Temples. Your travel designer can help you to experience the city at its best with private guided tours and excursions.

Full day tour of Kyoto and Arashiyama
Early this morning at about 9 a.m., you'll meet your English speaking guide at your hotel who will first bring you to visit Kinkaku-ji Golden Pavilion temple. The temple was built in 1397 to serve as a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu whose grandson used it as the inspiration for the Ginkaku-ji Silver Pavilion temple.
You'll then be brought to explore the serene Ryoan-ji temple which is celebrated for its rock garden of clay walls, raked sand and 15 mysterious and carefully placed rocks.
After lunch, we move on to Arashiyama, a beautifully verdant district for a welcome break from the city's hustle. We start at the unique and quiet Otagi-Nenbutsuji Temple which is famous for its 1200 Rakan figures which were carved by worshipers to pray for the prosperity of the temple.
We then continue on towards Okochi Sanso, a splendid mountain retreat, previously occupied by the silent screen actor Okochi Denjiro. The grounds have something beautiful to offer each season and if we're lucky we'll catch the cherry blossom in bloom. Take a leisurely walk through the villa's beautiful gardens and savour the fine views of the city below.
From here, we take a relaxing stroll around the beautiful bamboo forests, listening to the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind. We then arrive at Tenryu-ji Temple, the head temple of the Tenryu-ji branch of Rinzai Zen sect and a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage monuments. It has an excellent garden with a pond stroll that was laid out by a garden designer of genius. We end our visit with a stop at the Togetsukyo Bridge, also known as "Moon Crossing Bridge", and one of Arashiyama's most important landmarks. While it's never guaranteed to see cherry blossom, we hope to take in some impressive sights of sakura along the way.

Day of leisure in Kyoto or optional visit to Nara
Today is yours to spend at your leisure. Relax at your hotel or venture out to explore Kyoto further. Your travel designer can help you to experience the city at its best with private guided tours and excursions. Should you prefer, you'll also have the option of a taking a full-day tour of Nara, the ancient 8th century Japanese capital. If you choose this option, your English speaking guide and private driver will meet you at your hotel at 9 a.m. You'll start your visit with a trip to Nara Park. Commonly known as "Deer Park," Nara Park is a large pleasant park in the centre of the city which is home to hundreds of freely roaming deers which are regarded in Shinto religion as messengers of the gods and symbol of the city. A large number of historical sites in Nara are located in and around this park.
Visit Kasugataisha Shrine, originally established in 768 AD as the shrine of the powerful Fujiwara Family, and see the magnificent interior which is famous for its numerous bronze hanging lanterns as well as the many stone lanterns that lead up to the shrine. We'll then move on to the gigantic Todaiji temple which is reputedly one of the largest wooden buildings in the world and one of Japan's most historically significant temples. Inside the temple, you'll see the giant statue of Buddha Virocana.
We finish our tour in Naramachi, the former merchant district of Nara. Naramachi was fortunate enough not to have been affected by the bombings of the Second World War and the district features several traditional warehouses and residential buildings such as the the Naramachi Koshi-no-ie as well as many small boutiques, shops, cafes and restaurants. After your tour, you'll be transferred back to your hotel to enjoy the evening at leisure.

When we reach the reach the pier we'll board a cruise boat and sail down the Sumida River to Asakusa, discovering Tokyo's skyline and bridges from a different perspective. Asakusa is one of Tokyo oldest and best-preserved districts and on arrival we'll walk along the Nakamise Dori merchant street to reach the Sensoji Temple, marked by its huge lantern.

A journey to the stark-white-salted surface of Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni stands out as one of the most unique travel experiences in the world.

Formed by prehistoric lakes tens of thousands of years ago, Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni spans a massive 4,086 square miles across the altiplano at a breathless 11,995 feet above sea level. Practically devoid of any sign of life, only a few hearty souls call this harsh landscape home. A thick layer of abrasive salt crust forms the iconic hexagonal pattern stamped across the terrain, serving as an extraction site for salt and the world's largest reserves of lithium. The remarkably flat surface draws visitors from across the world to experience the surreal landscape in person. Among the most extreme landscapes in South America, a trip to the Salar de Uyuni makes for an otherworldly travel experience.

There are scant few places where you can experience every stage of the water cycle at once. But there's magic in the Mendenhall Ice Caves, where water runs over rocks and under frozen bright-blue ceilings inside a partially hollow glacier.

The Mendenhall Glacier is a 12-mile-long glacier in the Mendenhall Valley, only 12 miles from downtown Juneau in southeast Alaska. The glacier originally had two names: Sitaantaagu ("Glacier Behind the Town") and Aak'wtaaksit ("Glacier Behind the Little Lake"). Inside the glacier are the stunning blue ice caves, accessible only to those willing to kayak to the edge of the ice and then climb over the glacier.

Sadly, this Juneau glacier is retreating increasingly fast as climate change warms the ocean. The Mendenhall Glacier has receded almost two miles since 1958, while previously it had receded only 0.5 miles since 1500. The ice caves are in part a function of this glacial melting. Images of the caves circulate the internet with such captions as "otherworldly" and "surreal," but "shrinking" and "fleeting" could be used as well, as this glacier creates incredible ever-changing landscapes while we watch it melt away.

GROUP SIZE
We always try to provide an approximation of the group size you can expect to be with for the duration of each of our holidays. It may be that you are joined by others for parts of your holiday (such as transfers and particular activities) but the above number reflects those you can normally expect to be with from beginning to end. If group size is something which is particularly important to you, please speak to our Travel Experts and they can suggest the best holidays for you.

Tailor-made holiday group sizes will vary for all activities as will the group size for any additional activities you book.
MINIMUM NUMBERS REQUIRED FOR A HOLIDAY TO OPERATE
Some of our holidays require a minimum number of participants to operate (as listed in the 'Group Size' section). If your holiday departure has not yet reached the minimum number, you will be told at the time of booking. In the unlikely event that your chosen date is not guaranteed by nine weeks before your scheduled departure date, we will contact you to discuss the available options as per our booking conditions.

Itinerary amendments

The order of activities is always subject to change and guests will be provided with their final itinerary upon arrival.
SINGLE SUPPLEMENT
Please note that some of our holidays may incur a single supplement. Please speak to one of our Travel Experts who will provide you with a quotation.

Medical History and advice

We want our holidays to be accessible as they can be and will do our best to accommodate any special requests and requirements where possible. We have a wide range of holidays and destinations and so our travel experts will help find the best holiday for you.

In order to give us the best possible chance to do this, we ask that if you or any member of your party has any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday or has any special requirements, that you tell us at the time of enquiry or booking. You must also promptly advise us if any medical condition or disability which may affect your holiday develops after your booking has been confirmed. You may need to provide a doctor's note and proof of insurance in some cases as the health and safety of our clients is absolutely paramount.

In providing this information you are allowing us to work with our expert local partners to ensure that your whole party can enjoy the holiday. By letting us know in advance we can discreetly work with you to adapt any part of the holiday which may potentially be challenging. Being able to prepare for this in advance makes an incredible difference to what we can offer and minimises any impact on your party and the rest of the group.

Unfortunately, if you choose not to share this information with us in advance then it may limit some or all of the itinerary you have booked, and we cannot be held accountable for any additional costs or missed activities resulting from this.
PREGNANCY
If you are pregnant at the time of booking your holiday or you discover you are pregnant prior to your departure, firstly - congratulations! Secondly - please tell us as soon as possible. This situation does arise, and we are able to advise you both from our own first-hand experience and from discussing this at length with our expert local partners who have experience in this area. The more notice you can give us the better, in order to suggest any adaptions to the itinerary you have booked which will reduce the risk to both mother and baby. Please contact our customer service team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
INSURANCE
Insurance is not included in your holiday, but it is a pre-requisite to travelling with us. You will need to ensure that you have cover for all the activities that you will be participating in during your holiday.

It is extremely important that you take out a suitable travel insurance policy at the time of booking. Plans do sometimes change, and you will need this policy should you need to cancel your holiday.

If you are struggling to find a suitable policy then details of our preferred provider, who will cover you for all the activities we offer, can be found on our website by clicking here. Please note that this policy is available to EU residents under the age of 75 only.

Reduced Mobility

Experience and fitness

We offer a vast choice of holidays which range from 'relaxed' to 'active' so there really is something for everyone and our holidays can be filtered by how active they are. Regardless of the chosen holiday, all activities will include tuition from a beginner's level and no prior experience is assumed.

If you are unsure about the physical demands of a particular holiday please contact us and our expert team will be happy to help.

See our booking conditions for further information.

Guides and safety

It is absolutely essential when partaking in any activity that you listen very closely to, and abide by, the instructions provided.

If there is anything that you are unsure of during a safety briefing or that you would like to clarify with the guides please make this clear to them immediately before starting the activity.

Our guides' word on activities is always final and your safety is their principal concern at all times, please respect their decisions. By following their instructions, your safety and enjoyment during each activity will be greatly enhanced.

See our booking conditions for further information.

Booking activities locally

Additional activities can be booked locally in almost all our destinations. However, as per our booking conditions, we cannot be held responsible for any injury or loss incurred through participation in activities which are booked at your destination outside of our holiday itinerary (see our 'Terms and Conditions' for further details).

When arranging any such activity please always ensure that safety is your primary concern. In some of our destinations, you can borrow or hire equipment for use in your free time.

You do so entirely at your own risk. You must ensure that you are properly prepared, have the necessary equipment and knowledge (maps, etc) and ensure that where applicable, you follow marked routes. We recommend discussing your plans with the local teams who will be able to advise on the most suitable options for you.

Always let the reception/guide know where you are planning to go and take a torch and mobile phone (with the hotel/guide's phone number stored). It is also a good idea to leave your contact number and the time you expect to return to the hotel should the hotel need to contact you.

Car Hire

If your trip includes car hire the named driver must have a credit card registered in their name which they can present when they collect their car along with their driving licence, as a deposit will be held on the credit card. Please see your trip dossier for full details.

Our clients' safety is at the centre of everything we do, and our operations team continually assesses and monitors the destinations we feature. We carry out thorough risk assessments and work closely with all of our suppliers to continually follow best practice. For up to date travel advice the UK government offers its Travel Aware website as well as the advice detailed below.
FLIGHT SCHEDULE CHANGES AND CONNECTING TRANSPORTATION
On your documentation, we will confirm your flight schedule. Sometimes the flight number, routing and timings might change prior to your departure. If the change is classed as a significant change then we will contact you to discuss this. Please see our booking conditions for details.

Flight schedule changes can impact on your pre and post-holiday travel arrangements if these have been booked separately to your holiday. We strongly recommend that you do not book transport (such as trains or transfers), car parking or non-connecting flights to the departure point for your holiday until you have received your final confirmed travel times when your final travel documents are issued. We are not responsible for the effect of any schedule change on your pre or post travel arrangements. We strongly recommend that you do not purchase non-flexible or non-refundable tickets to avoid cancellation and penalty charges.
BOOKING YOUR OWN FLIGHTS - CANCELLATION DISCLAIMER
If you have chosen to book your own flights, then you will need to wait until we confirm to you that the holiday departure has met the minimum numbers required to run (if applicable to your chosen holiday). Once the holiday is guaranteed to run, you will be informed and you can then make your arrangements.

If transfers are included in your holiday, please ensure that any potential flights will be met by our standard transfers (speak to one of our Travel Experts for advice) otherwise private transfer supplements may be applicable. Once your flights are booked, please send us a copy of your detailed flight itinerary.

Please be aware that most tickets are non-refundable in the case of cancellation. For this reason, we strongly advise you check the rules of the ticket and check the limitations of your cancellation insurance before booking. We cannot be held liable, in the unlikely eventuality that we should be forced to cancel or amend your trip, for losses incurred relating to any flight booking you have made.
THE FOREIGN AND COMMONWEALTH OFFICE ADVICE
We receive all updates from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) with regards to travel advice and we always ensure that we follow this advice in our operations. The FCO issues travel advisories for countries based on a very wide range of factors. They may provide notification about things as simple as a football match and crowds, or they may go so far as to advise against all travel to a region. We ask all our clients to refer to the relevant Travel Advice by Country for the destinations they are visiting in order to make an informed decision on the safety of the destination based on the details provided. It also provides vital information regarding entry requirements, embassy information, local laws and customs as well as specific safety and health. Guests should take responsibility for keeping themselves up to date with this advice. Please also ensure that, if you are transiting through another country, you have read the advice and meet the entry requirements for that destination too.

The FCO travel advice is applicable to British Passport Holders. Most governments will issue their own travel advice for a region and, if you are not a UK resident then you can find some helpful links below:

Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/

New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade http://www.safetravel.govt.nz/

Canadian Consular Affairs Bureau http://voyage.gc.ca/

The U.S. Bureau of Consular Affairs http://travel.state.gov/content/travel/english.html

If the FCO deems that there is an unacceptable level of risk for UK citizens then, together with the government, they may issue an advisory against all travel to a region or country. If such an advisory is published, then we will act accordingly, and this may require the cancellation, curtailment or amendment of a holiday itinerary. These decisions are made on the basis of ensuring our clients' safety and will affect all clients on the holiday, regardless of their nationality.

If one of our local experts suggests an amendment due to a situation which develops locally then we may also take the decision to amend an itinerary appropriately.

If we have to cancel your holiday prior to departure you will be offered the option of an alternative trip (where any price difference will either be refunded to or covered by you) or a full refund of the monies paid.

If we have to curtail a holiday, then you will be refunded for any costs for the elements we have been unable to deliver, where we have been able to secure a refund from our suppliers. If we must reroute a holiday, then any basis for refund is determined on a case by case basis and dependent on whether the central holiday experience was provided or not.
