Would you take your children swimming with sharks?

We did. The biggest ones on the planet. 🦈

Nearly 500 dives and Mrs Jo had never seen a whale shark. Our children saw one on one of their first-ever Caribbean snorkel trips in Mexico.

The good news is that Whale sharks are filter feeders. They're there for the plankton, not for you.

They're also listed as Endangered, so who you swim with matters.

Before we booked, we researched deeply into who runs these trips. We wanted an operator that puts the shark first and the photo opp second.

We checked the group size in the water, distance rules and no touching.

Send this to the friend who'd say "absolutely not" 😂

Follow for more family adventures, planned properly.

And contact us to book your chat if you'd like to enjoy this bucketlist experience yourself.

🎄Where will you be on Christmas Day? How about sailing the Arctic fjords, watching for whales? 🐋

HX's Ultimate Norway at Christmas leaves Tromsø on 19 December 2026. It's eight days on MS Spitsbergen, an expedition ship with space for 150 guests, and a Christmas that looks nothing like the usual one.
What's on the itinerary:

A beach bonfire in the Lyngen Alps, with Norwegian food cooked by the ship's chefs

A visit to a local community on Senja to learn about Sámi culture

A Christmas-themed dinner inside the Hurtigruten Museum, opened exclusively for guests

Christmas Eve with Christmas singing, storytelling, hot chocolate and a Norwegian julebord feast

Christmas Day in sheltered fjords, in the areas where you're most likely to see whales

And if the skies play along, the Northern Lights ✨

Meals, drinks, an expedition jacket and escorted landings are all included. The route changes with the weather, and that's part of the adventure.

Send this to the person you'd most like to spend Christmas in the Arctic with.

Contact us for this exclusive sailing, or about your next Arctic or Antarctic voyage.

Some of the best feedback we've ever had came from a night we didn't win.

We didn't take home the trophy. But we did leave with something we weren't expecting.

At the end of the night at The Roundhouse, one of the judges came over to find us. They told us just how tough this year's judging had been, and that being shortlisted from hundreds of travel consultants across the UK is a real achievement in its own right.

We'll take that as a win!

When you run a small business, you rarely stop to look at how far you've come. Hearing that from someone who read every entry meant so much.

Now, back to planning some incredible trips.

Our first family holiday to Mexico and we loved it. Surrounded by wildlife from the moment you woke up, coatis, monkeys, tropical birds. We stayed at a hotel that offered it all; delicious food, live music, free sunrise yoga and the BEST gym classes, a stunning beach with watersports, as many pools as you wish to choose from (we loved the wave pool), waterslides, near Cozumel, cenote and mayan temples.

We took Beth and Bo on their first ever scuba dive (with diving instructors as parents, it was inevitable) and swam in the wild with whale sharks.

We'd recommend our hotel in a heartbeat, and know the best adults-only options too (we visited that one too).

If you'd like your next beach holiday to tick more boxes, get in touch to book your initial travel consultation.

A family with young children wanted more than another Christmas at home. They asked for Malaysia: exciting, varied and safe with little ones in tow. We chose a specialist with 24/7 support and guides who slow the pace when children need it. Bike rides through cultural sites, Christmas Day in the jungle, then a beach to relax on.

When women come together, powerful things happen. I’ve seen it time and time again, from founding a book group, to organising yoga retreats and driving a tuk-tuk 750 miles across India with 33 other female founders.

That is why this all-women polar expedition is so exciting.

Consider it as a safari on ice; bird watching, walks, photography sessions, whale and marine mammal spotting, lectures and even a polar plunge!

Hosted on Aurora Expedition’s Sylvia Earle, led by an all-women Expedition Leadership Team and enriched by an inspiring line-up of lecturers, special guests and speakers, these unique expeditions have so much to offer.

Along the way, you’ll share stories and laughter, and connect deeply with both nature and each other. It happens. Women are great at it!

Fly the Drake – 10 days in Feb 2027 or discover The Spirit of Antarctica over 11 days in March 2028.

Daily shore excursions, guided hikes & outings

These expeditions are crafted for adventurous women who share a passion for exploration and a desire to connect with like-minded travellers.

Sounds like you? Get in touch, I’d love to organise this for you. It's the ultimate girls' trip.

3.50am alarm. Zero regrets.

The best hour of my trip to Morocco was spent in a hot air balloon over the desert, watching the sun come up over the Atlas Mountains.

Getting there was half of it. A bus out of the narrow streets of Marrakech. Coffee and traditional pastries in a Berber tent in the middle of nowhere, hushed voices of half-asleep travellers. Then the short ride to watch the crew fill the balloons, dramatic flames metres high, before an undignified climb into the basket.

Then up.

Desert and farms shrinking below us. I expected to be frightened of the height. Instead, it was still, serene, beautiful. I shed a few tears alongside my travel companion, feeling so utterly blessed to be in that spot at that exact time.

This was an add-on to our trip with , discovering the real cultural and foodie side of Morocco. Beautiful riads in the heart of Marrakech, then the contrast of Casablanca.

Intrepid are offering our clients £400 off per person on most of their Premium small group tours which span the world. Having done one, I know it’s worth it for the elevated dining, experiences and the accommodation. Adventure travel with like-minded people, done in elevated style.
