When to go where in July

School’s out for summer – which means it’s holiday time for anyone with children, or indeed for the teachers!

Why choose July...?

In July, Europe’s holiday season is in full swing; beach clubs are rocking, seaside restaurants buzzing, and the weather is marvellously hot. Further afield, July is a great month in some of the world’s most exciting, exotic locations from the Indian Ocean to the South Pacific.

1. Iceland

Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik is the world’s most northerly capital. The heart, locally known as ‘Old Reykjavik’ is the focal point for many visitors, and we can arrange a walking tour of the city. From the Old Harbour we can take you on a whale watching trip, or a puffin viewing trip. These trips are unmissable, particularly the whale watching, so keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins and Minke whales. Reykjavik also boasts cosy cafes, a lively nightlife and a cool Nordic culture for you to enjoy.

3. Seychelles

The diversity of the Seychelles landscape rushes up to greet you the moment your aircraft begins its descent and we can promise a long list of exciting things to do during your stay.

Seychelles is famous for having some of the best beaches in the world: pristine and uncrowded. Some are framed by age-old granite boulders and others offer powder-soft sands, but what remains the same is the warm, turquoise, clear waters which create sublime opportunities for swimming, snorkeling and pure relaxation.

4. Kenya

From elephant parades, wildebeest migrations and flamingo-filled lakes to lush rainforests, rolling grasslands and sun-baked plains, Kenya packs in plenty to thrill both first-timers and repeat safari lovers. While most come here for the game drives, there is more to this land than close encounters with ‘The Big Five’; from lazing on stunning palm-fringed beaches to floating above the savannah in a hot-air balloon, we can create a handpicked experience just for you.

5. Fiji

The beaches are the main draw to Fiji. You can expect coconut trees, white sand, clear turquoise waters, hammocks, cocktails and exceptional hospitality. Simply put, it’s paradise. One of the joys of a holiday to Fiji is island hopping on the Yasawa flyer. One island isn’t enough, and we can take you to some of our favourite islands including Mantaray Island, where you can snorkel, dive and swim with some gentle giants - manta rays!

The snorkeling and diving in Fiji is among the best in the world. Colourful fish will come up to greet you, not to mention the opportunity to dive heart stoppingly close to bull sharks and hammerhead sharks!
