Those incredible journeys whose impact can be summed up by by a single encounter, or one remarkable view. Our tailor-made Great Escape holidays can take you from the end of the world to the edge of the Indian Ocean, from Easter Island to New Zealand. There are trips where you just have to do the last bit by foot, in a 4x4, or even in a canoe. Voyages where you’ll travel in the wake of Christopher Columbus or Jacques Cousteau. There are routes forged, since ancient times, by merchants, warriors, or pilgrims. Some itineraries get under your skin, and just won’t let you go.
