30’s a big number, and one that we think is worth shouting about. So, in celebration of our 30^th birthday this year, we thought we’d sit down with Jonathan, Discover Adventure’s founder, and discuss the highs and lows (and everything in between!) of the last three decades.

As we enter the new year, we’re looking ahead, and towards the few key travel trends predicted for the travel industry in 2024. It’s clear that the preferences and expectation of travellers is evolving, and there’s set to be a shift in what we are seeking from our journeys.

We’re ready to lead you to destinations that hit the mark!

In our pursuit of extraordinary stories from the DA family, we spoke to Jo, a remarkable 32-year-old with an inspiring story. Jo's courage and determination reflect the spirit of our community, embodying the essence of adventure beyond the ordinary. This story really resonated with us as Jo's tale is more than a travelogue; it's a testament to the power of seizing life.

As another year comes to a close, we wanted to reflect on another dream-making year at DA. From Everest to John O’Groats, we’ve taken people on trips of a lifetime and experiences that will never be forgotten. We’ve rounded up a few of our favourite testimonials to share with you at the end of 2023.

In 2024, we’re gearing up for one of the most spectacular northern light displays in over two decades! Experts say that between January and October next year, due to the sun’s increased activity, the range and intensity of the lights is expected to grow. Recently, there have even been sightings as far south as Stonehenge - just down the road from DA HQ! 

As we slip out of British Summertime, some of you may be thinking ahead to the grey winter months and planning your escape from the chilly monotony of winter in the UK. We might have the perfect answer...

Leave behind the gloomy skies and endless layers of woollens, and prepare to answer the call of adventure. Join us as we unveil a list of thrilling trips that will transport you to distant lands and push your boundaries. Buckle up because the ultimate winter challenge awaits!
