Solo Travel!
See the world through your eyes, your story, your solo travel adventure.
Independent adventures
Travelling on your own, but never alone.
Whether you’re flying solo by choice, ticking off a bucket list while your partner stays home, or simply craving some ‘me time’ with the option of great company along the way, we’ve got you.
Our independent travel options are perfect for those who want to explore the world on their own terms – with the freedom to set your pace, plus the comfort of a group when you want it. You might be keen on a guided small group tour, a women-only journey, a cruise with no single supplement, or a tailored trip with your own space at the end of each magical day. However you want to travel, we’ll match you with the experience that makes it feel easy, safe and unforgettable.
From culinary walking tours through Italy, to sailing in Croatia, to dancing across the temples of Thailand, these trips are made for connection – with places, with people, and most importantly, with yourself.
There are a variety of tours, cruises and experiences that cater for those travelling on your own. Check out some of our favourites solo deals or holidays below!
So go on, plan that big trip. Just for you.

CHOOSE THE WAY YOU TRAVEL
Happy to share
Skip the single supplement by sharing a room with a same-gender traveller on select tours. It’s a great way to save—and maybe meet your travel twin along the way.
Your own space, your own pace
Prefer the comfort of your own room? Choose the single supplement option—join the group by day, unwind in your private retreat by night.
Still deciding what’s right for you?
We’ve been matching travelers with their perfect trip for over 35 years – and we’d love to help you find yours. Let’s chat about your independent adventure!

My first big trip was off to Camp America many years ago. As soon as I stepped foot on the first big international plane, the travel bug bit me and I never wanted to stop! Eventually I had to get a "real job" and what better job than as a travel agent.
Since then I've enjoyed sending many more people on their first big exciting trip overseas, on family holidays, honeymoons, reunions, road trips, girls trips and any other reason you can think of for travel!

Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way
into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality
industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also
founded my love for all different types of foods.
After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few
years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have
been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.
I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to
know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that
perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of
comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the
corner, do we!
I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of
time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in
California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and
Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't
been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out
the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods,
and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we
wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to
hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)
