British Isles

Some of the finest destinations in the world are on our doorstep here in Britain. From the Isles of Scilly in the far south to Britain's most northerly everything in Shetland, the British Isles offer some of the finest birdwatching and natural history in the world.

Arctic & North Atlantic - Expedition Cruising

Summer in the high Arctic is a time of vibrant urgency as plants, animals and birds cram their season into the few months of 24-hour daylight. Expedition cruising is the best way to get close to Polar Bears, Walrus, Ivory Gulls and much more. View all our Arctic & North Atlantic expedition destinations

Europe

Our policy to offer continental destinations as well as islands has seen us expand the range of tours on offer in Europe to include, for instance, Picos de Europa in Spain, Latvia, France and Estonia. Whale Watching in the Azores is some of the best in the world, whilst the Eastern Mediterranean islands are brilliant for spring flowers and bird migration. View all our European holidays

South Atlantic & Antarctica

Our range of holidays in the South Atlantic islands continues to increase with the possibility of visiting Tristan da Cunha during the "Atlantic Odyssey", while "the great white continent" of Antarctica must be one of the ultimate travel experiences.

North & Central America

You can't get much more different than Alaska and Costa Rica, the two extremities of North and Central America. The contrast in climates and habitats is reflected in the birds and wildlife to be expected in each destination. From Brown Bears, Sea Otters and Red-legged Kittiwakes in the north to Resplendent Quetzels and Three-toed Sloths in the South, each holiday is designed to incorporate all the highlights of its own unique environment.

South America

While you're there, why not take the opportunity to explore Ecuador's Amazon Jungle, Mindo Cloud Forest or Cotapaxi National Park? We are now also offering new tours to Argentina, Peru and a mould-breaking two-country holiday in Argentina and the Falkland Islands View all our South American holidays

Caribbean

Forget the all-inclusive resorts and come with us to discover the natural delights of some of the loveliest Caribbean islands. Birding, whalewatching, hot pools, salsa music and sunshine all add to the mix which makes up the unique Caribbean experience. View all our Caribbean holiday destinations

Africa

"Much more than just islands" - Island Holidays Plus now offers wildlife and birding holidays to some of the world's most exciting destinations in southern Africa as well as to Madagascar - "the eighth continent". View all our African holidays

Australasia

New Zealand has long been a favourite destination for Island Holidays Plus travellers. Our guided tour takes in the delights of both North and South Island as well as Stewart Island right in the "deep south". View all our Australasian holiday destinations

Asia

There's something exotic about the Far East, not only in terms of the area's varied culture but also in its wildlife. From the hornbills of the North Malay Peninsula to the dancing cranes in Japan (known delightfully as "Birds of Happiness"), the area really is a birder's paradise. Coming soon: Taiwan and Japan's Southern Islands. View all our Far East holidays
