Unusual holidays guide

In French, they use the word ‘insolite’ to describe an unusual holiday. Which sounds a bit like insolent. Rebelling against the norm.![]()

By their very nature, all holidays are meant to be unusual. They were created out of a relatively modern desire to go in search of ‘the other’. Meaning, the quest for something different from the banality of everyday life. They respond to that desire for a holiday to be a ‘dream come true’. We get that. We also get that staying in a cave in Andalucia might be a dream come true for one person, but hell on earth for another, for whom a week in the Arctic watching polar bears is breaking the humdrum with a bang. Unusual holidays do also go in trends, of course. However, with a collection of holidays and members that can make the impossible possible, this Unusual Holidays guide aims to guide you beyond the trends to a place that truly taps into that ‘other’ you, not the trend setters, have been seeking.

Responsible Travel, who knew?
Search engines do what they say on the tin. They allow you to search for the unknown. They proffer surprises. They reveal the unexpected. And, in the case of holidays, this is certainly no exception. Which is why we have decided to create this Unusual Holidays guide. Quite simply, people go in search of unusual holidays and then land on our site. So, instead of making you go on a treasure hunt around our garden of exotic wonders, we have put them all into one piñata. Break it open and let a whole world of ‘who knew?’ fall out. Who knew you could watch grizzly bears en masse in Alaska, feasting at the annual salmon run? Who knew you could explore Jordan’s Petra and Wadi Rum on a bike? Tour Lapland by rail? Or drive your own tuk-tuk around Thailand? We also know from experience that one person’s unusual might be another person’s norm. Island hopping in the Adriatic by kayak might be banal for some. But for a family with teenagers, who have done all-inclusive resorts for the last ten years, this is living on the edge. The chances are, of course, once you have ventured into the unusual, there is no looking back.
