What an amazing Holliday we have had. Fresh back from a 6 day hiking holiday in Gran Canaria and absolutely buzzing from the experience.
Our group was mixed ability and Rosie and Ben were excellent at attending to the different needs of the group. Everything was so well planned, taking all of the hassle out and leaving us to thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking views and absorb the Canarian culture.
Rosie and Ben were fabulous guides and even more fabulous companions, giving us loads of laughs, lots of culture, a wealth of geological and botanical knowledge, and above all, a blossoming friendship.
It is honestly the best holiday I have ever had and I’m now planning another bespoke trip for my family with this tour operator. Can’t wait.
Join this history rich 8-days cruise from Kemer. Sail to Kekova surrounded by ancient ruins. The ruined Lycian cities of Simena and the Sunken City are the main historical attraction in the region however the more adventurous traveller can find many more rock-cut tombs and sarcophagi hidden in the surrounding hills. Many blue cruises and private yachts visit the region of Kekova for the transparent waters, brilliant sun, unspoiled nature and excellent swimming, snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities. The region is home to many small islands, extensive caves, an abundance of sea life and secluded coves backed by sheer cliffs and rugged hills, many of which can only be accessed by sea, offering a peaceful retreat. During this cruise you will visit Olympos, Adrasan, Phaselis, Demre, Kekova, Sunken City, Simena and Gokkaya Bay.
This was an excellent trip. Delivered everything it says in trip name. Visited fabulous locations, learnt interesting facts about each place, tried local food and wine. Magnificent.
Great trip with good mixture of activities and wildlife. The weather was perfect for an August trip - warm during day, cooler at night, and fortunately only 10 minutes of rain in 2 weeks. Well looked after by our guide Bianca. Food was very good value. Expect some flexibility in the itinerary - we couldn’t sea kayak due to choppy sea but alternative hike was great. Highlights were climbing Table Mountain (2-3h strenuous hike), surfing lesson, optional Whale Watching boat trip, Addo Elephant National Park and optional Schotia Private Game Reserve drive on the morning of departure.

We really enjoyed this comprehensive tour of Vietnam. Including time in more rural areas as well as the well known cities and sites, it gave us a great insight into local culture and there was plenty of opportunity to meet the locals who were incredibly friendly. The trip ran seemlesly in the extremely capable hands of our tour leader Diem, one of the best we've had (this was our 6th family holiday with Explore). Highlights would include all of the bike rides, exploring Tam Coc caves by boat, Saigon by cyclo, the amazing food, so fresh and plentiful, and the kids loved haggling for bargains in the markets and shops (especially Hoi An). Accommodation and transport were both of a great standard. Well done Explore!
