Over many years Island Holidays has been offering fantastic destinations, some of which have stood out as being really very special. Some are close to home, some far-flung. Keep an eye on our news section to see what's coming up.
Cuba
Famed for Fidel Castro, cigars and salsa, Cuba is a vibrant island with a fascinating heritage and the best birding in the western Caribbean. Our holiday visits various different areas and diverse habitats and we'll hope for a sighting of the world's smallest bird, the Bee Hummingbird as well as many other endemics. We'll also spend some time exploring Old Havana - a delight not included by most birding companies. Read more about Cuba
Isles of Scilly
A destination which has resisted the trimmings of modern tourism and retained its delightful simplicity, The Isles of Scilly have changed little in 25 years. The roughest of seascapes combine with sheltered spots where sub-tropical plants thrive and the islands are a birdwatcher's paradise. Our week-long holiday is run at a relaxed pace and takes in all aspects of life on the islands. Read more about our Isles of Scilly holiday
Shetland and Fair Isle
The Shetland Islands lie far to the north of Scotland and are often described as the crossroads of the North Atlantic located as they are between the UK, Norway and the Faroe Islands. Our holiday, which includes three nights on Fair Isle, focuses on the islands' amazing wildlife - its birds, its flowers and its otters - but doesn't ignore the incredibly archaeological heritage to be found.

South Africa
From the Cape of Good Hope to Kruger National park, this holiday takes in the very best which South Africa has to offer in terms of birds and mammals, from the African Penguin to the mighty Elephant and the magnificent Lion. We'll visit lots of different habitats and enjoy the flowers, the sunshine, the food and the wine as well as the wildlife. Read more about our South Africa holiday
