April

Japan’s cherry blossom season is undoubtedly magical, but half the world agrees, it sometimes seems. For the best of both worlds, by all means immerse yourself in the razzmatazz of Tokyo, but then escape to a rural mountain ryokan retreat for a slower and quieter appreciation of nature’s blushing miracle.

With its warm sunny weather, Oman is at its best in April. Whether trekking in the rugged Al Hajar Mountains, star-gazing from your private desert camp or exploring the rich coral gardens of the Damaniyat Islands, we’ll ensure you get the most from your time in this wonderful country.

While the Galapagos are great virtually year-round, April is a particularly special time to visit as this is when critically endangered waved albatross perform their elaborate courtship dances on Espanola Island. We’ll help you pick the best expedition cruise to witness this incredible spectacle up close.

Argentine Patagonia is very special in April. As well as lower rates and a lull in the scouring winds, there are fall colours the equal of New England, glacier treks and spectacular horseback rides all to enjoy. Our incredible local guides will bring these frontier lands to life for you.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel true awe, then go to Bolivia’s Uyuni saltpan in April when the rains have stopped but the pan is still two inches under water. Here you’ll experience the extraordinary sensation of standing on an immense mirror in which the surface of the pan perfectly reflects the sky above.
