While it might be the iconic sights of the world that first entice you to pack your bags for adventure, it’s often something quite different that beckons you to return—the towns with no traffic, the coasts with no crowds, the nooks with no noise. Globus designs the perfect balance of the hero sights you mustn’t miss and the hidden gems you otherwise would, offering a deeper glimpse into the world’s most intriguing destinations. 

Explore beyond the guidebooks with Globus to these destinations. 

AFRICA 

If you’ve ever contemplated kicking caffeine, the natural wonders of East and Southern Africa present the greatest environment for success. Between the game-filled grasslands, diverse cultures, and stunning landscapes, no additional stimulants are necessary on Globus African vacations. Dreams run wild here on this incomprehensible continent, while the zebra, cheetah, and buffalo do the same—right alongside breezy 4-wheel drive vehicles custom made for small group experiences and larger-than-life moments. Where else can you get stuck in a zebra traffic jam, make tracks for a photo finish with lions, ride neck and neck with a giraffe, get left in the dust by a cheetah, and yield the right of way to a herd of elephants—all in a day’s commute? In the land that invented reality entertainment, you'll go beyond the lion’s lair to the thunderous roar of Victoria Falls, beyond the serene sounds of nature to the rhythmic rumble of traditional Maasai dance, and beyond the renowned national parks to the captivating sights of Cape Town. Globus will take you on the trip of a lifetime in a place like no other. A place to hunt adventure and gather excitement. A place to “glamp” under the stars. And a place to wake to another day of bewilderment. That is if you ever close your eyes.

ASIA

If no one has ever thrown you a surprise party, don’t worry. Unexpected joy is waiting for you behind every pagoda, down every hutong, and inside every bowl brimming with Japanese noodles on an exhilarating Asia vacation. Whether you hop on a rickshaw, cyclo, or tuktuk, you’re in for the ride of your life. Ancient traditions and modern marvels will delight, charm and thrill you, as will the exciting ways to embrace them. Join the festivities as you practice the art of calligraphy in Japan or gracefully cast a net into the fish-filled waters of Vietnam. Going beyond the neon-lit streets of Tokyo, the electrifying experiences keep coming as we take you farther into the Far East – leading you inside the sacred temples, up to the mystic mountaintops, and down to the floating villages below. A daily celebration of customs, culture and cuisine awaits in surprising Asia. And you’re on the guest list.

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND

Head Down Under and experience the magic of Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, with their breathtaking scenery and vibrant cities. Explore the spectacular Great Barrier Reef, tour around the base of Uluru, take the Ghan train through the heart of Australia, cruise on stunning Milford Sound in New Zealand, learn about the Maori and Aboriginal cultures, and wander through fascinating cities. Globus South Pacific vacations and Australia trips also introduce you to hidden gems and behind-the-scenes activities, including an Outback barbeque featuring fascinating tales of the Outback and Aboriginal folklore, a tour of the Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club in Sydney, and a unique visit to a kangaroo sanctuary. Let Globus handle the details, so you can sit back, relax, and experience the wonders of the South Pacific.

EUROPE

Don’t believe the naysayers. Time travel is real. Especially when you journey back centuries to the Old World with Globus European tours. Down cobblestone lanes and well-worn paths, find yourself venturing way past the landmarks to immerse you in Europe’s enchanting landscapes and legends of lore. Yet in the land of fairytale settings, go beyond storytelling to satisfy your hunger for history. Globus makes you a central character with well-rounded experiences. Get ready to drive a golf ball at Scotland’s legendary St. Andrews, hurl a snowball in the majestic Swiss Alps, strike a billiards ball in a cozy Irish pub, or sip wine on the grounds of a Tuscan castle. Hands on and feet first is how you roll through the storied hills, quaint villages and vibrant cities of Europe. As you skip the lines at ancient castles and cathedrals to whisk you back in time, you'll also bypass the main thoroughfares to catapult you toward the emerging chefs, artists and artisans who will define the Europe of tomorrow. Beyond the predictable. Beyond the expected. Beyond the guidebooks. It’s the only way to travel through time.

NORTH AMERICA

Who said exploration had to stop with Columbus, Magellan, Cabot and Champlain? Grab your compass, point it in any direction, and set out to discover the abundance of treasures hidden right outside your door. North, south, east or west, eureka moments await. Whether you shout it from the top of the Canadian Rockies or hear it echo in the deep canyons of the American Southwest, awe and wonder reverberate from sea to shining sea. Across 50 states and 10 provinces, there are countless wonders to explore right here through vacations in the US and trips to Canada. “X” marks the spot for airy national parks, diverse international cities, charming historic towns and world-class resorts. From peak to peak and coast to coast, Globus takes you beyond the main thoroughfares down the legendary lanes that lead to the redwoods, bluegrass, and the signature sights and sounds that define each colorful region. Whatever time your zone you’re in, the moment is now to make a date with Mother Nature, Founding Fathers, and the many other intriguing neighbors awaiting your call.

SOUTH AMERICA

Lush green jungles. Sparkling turquoise waters. Flamboyant scarlet macaws and dancing blue-footed boobies. A kaleidoscope of adventure awaits when you travel in South America. Even the bubblegum-colored walls of South America’s most storied cities will brighten your outlook. Everything comes alive when you venture below the equator. Exotic flavors awaken the tastebuds, tropical scents tickle the brain, and rhythmic beats persuade even the clumsiest of feet to glide across pulsing dance floors. From Costa Rica, Colombia, and Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands down to Brazil, Peru, Chile and Argentina, every sense will work overtime as you reign atop mysterious mountains, stand before thundering waterfalls, sip cool, fresh caipirinhas and zip over even cooler cloud forests. On every South American vacation, you'll go beyond the expected for the ultimate jolt of rejuvenation and a totally different version of R&R. This means rum and rumba, rivers and rainforests, ranches and ruins, and Rio and pure revelry. All in living color.
