Top 10 Holiday Experiences
Not many things in life can provide the enriching experiences of travel.
Be it the wonder of nature as you stand surrounded by forest-clad peaks and rushing torrents in the Rocky Mountains, the ingenuity of mankind as you drift between vendors at the floating markets in Bangkok or the the simple kindness of the local people who welcome you to join then in their local restaurant.
Here are the top 10 things to do on holiday, selected by FREEDOM holidaymakers:
- Africa Safaris – nothing quite compares with the thrill seeing Africa’s great wildlife in its natural environment. A lion stalking its prey, the sheer size of a full-grown elephant or the silent elegance of a giraffe gliding through the bush.
- Angkor Wat – Cambodia’s ancient temple complex was built by its Khmer people nearly a thousand years ago. It is the largest religious ruin in the world and was much overgrown by jungle until recent restorations. Four miles north of Siem Reap, the Temples of Angkor can be explored on a guided tour or by bicycle.
- Route 66 – one of the most famous road trips in the world, Route 66 extends from Chicago to Los Angeles, travelling through the rural communities and iconic cities of central USA. Will you travel by convertible, RV or Harley Davidson?
- Great Barrier Reef – the awesome Great Barrier Reef stretches over 1,400 miles along the Queensland coast, with its colourful coral home to 1,500 species of fish. Cairns, Port Douglas, Townsville and Airlie Beach are the main starting points for day tours, cruises and diving trips. Or you could stay at one of Australia’s incredible island resorts, in the heart of the reef.
- Table Mountain – known to maritime explorers for hundreds of years, the distinctive Table Mountain overlooks the beautiful city of Cape Town below. Whether you hike to the top or take the scenic cable car, you will be rewarded with unforgettable views.
- Hot Air Ballooning – after the roar of the burners comes a magical silence as you drift over the magnificent scenery below. Our most popular balloon flights are over Africa’s Masai Mara or Serengeti or Australia’s rainforest or red centre.
- Grand Canyon – the world’s most famous canyon is over 200 miles long and up to one mile deep in places. There are spectacular views from the both the North and South Rims, as well as helicopter flights over the canyon from Las Vegas.
- Indian Pacific Railway – the iconic Indian Pacific crosses the vast red centre of Australia, traveling 2,700 miles from Perth to Sydney and providing an onboard experience on par only with The Ghan or Canada’s famous Rocky Mountaineer. It’s no wonder it’s constantly rated one of the worlds best rail journeys.
- Victoria Falls – over 100 metres high, the immense and inspiring Victoria Falls were first seen by Europeans in 1855. Now one of Africa’s most visited sights, the falls can be combined with wildlife safaris in Botswana and Zimbabwe.
- New York, New York – choosing the world’s greatest city is always going to be contentious. Is it the bright lights of Bangkok, the neon-lit towers of Singapore or the beautiful setting of Cape Town or Sydney? It seems number one on the bucket list is still New York; the eternal draw of Times Square, Broadway and Central Park.
