While Halong Bay may be one of Vietnam’s shining stars, Cat Ba Island is a hidden gem. Here’s why you should add it to your travel itinerary now.

“I love seeing the world through my daughter’s eyes, and I appreciate her curiosity and reserved sense of adventure. Travelling as a solo mum doesn’t come without its challenges, but they’re far outweighed by the benefits.”

“In the time we spent in Costa Rica, I saw my kids grow and discover things about themselves that I’m not sure I would have seen had we stayed at home.”

On family holidays, it can sometimes be tricky finding fun things to do that everyone will enjoy. But not with these awesome adventures!

Most people tend to focus their Cambodia itinerary on Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, perhaps with a jaunt along the coast thrown in. Between the temples of Angkor and the bright lights of the capital, there’s a whole country waiting to be explored.

As travellers and human beings, we are clear that there is a Climate Emergency which requires immediate and radical action by our governments, our industry and our business.

If you want to see the face of overtourism, take a plane to Phnom Penh and catch a bumpy five-hour bus to Sihanoukville – a once-sleepy town on a little peninsula in the Gulf of Thailand. Sihanoukville is the jewel of Cambodia’s tourism industry. Or at least it used to be.

When my partner casually announced over dinner that we were going to take our next holiday cycling through Cambodia I admit I was a bit confused. The same Cambodia that has the worst roads I’d ever seen? Where I had munched on local ‘delicacies’ like tarantulas and grasshoppers? Where one in every three adults owns a motorbike, and isn’t afraid to use it?

We were all quite intimidated going in to the first yoga session, because we thought everyone else would be really advanced. We shouldn’t have worried.

Straddling the divide between Europe and Asia, Istanbul is a humming metropolis up there with the best in the world. There are soaring mosques to see, Ottoman-era markets to explore and…

To us, wellness is feeling at home both in your body and in the world around you. It looks and feels a little different for everyone, so we asked our staff and travellers to share the most memorable wellness experiences from their Intrepid adventures.

Intrepid launched an emergency appeal via our non-profit, The Intrepid Foundation, with all funds going to the Australian Red Cross Bushfire Emergency Appeal.

You don’t have to sit upside down in silence for 14 days to experience wellness travel. Dedicated wellness retreats and detox ‘boot camps’ are really just the tip of the chakra. There’s a whole world of wellness travel out there – literally.

Travel writing is the lovechild of journalism and creative writing. Of course there are as many ways to write as there are travel writers, but the best stories have a spark that makes you just want to keep reading.

One of the biggest misconceptions about travel writing is that you go on holiday and write about it. While that can work in the beginning, to make a living from travel writing you’re going to have to travel a little differently.

Travel writing is one of the most misunderstood, and romanticised, jobs on the planet. That’s where this Masterclass series comes in. To shine a light into its dimly lit corners, correct a few misconceptions about travel writing (and writers) and hopefully inspire you to write about your travels.

They say the best way to truly connect with a culture is through its food, and in the case of Jordan, this couldn’t ring truer.

There are few places in this big ol’ world left under the radar, but Baku is one that should be right at the top of your ‘must visit’ list.
