Get Ready for 2025-26 Adventures: Discover Tahiti, Greenland, & More!

Many of our clients are now planning their 2025 travel, and some are booking into ’26. Cruises are filling up fast, and many foreign attractions are starting to limit visitors, so it certainly pays to plan ahead, perhaps way ahead. But sometimes just deciding where to go is the hardest part. Let’s take a look at some exotic locations you may want to visit in the next year or two.

·         Tahiti. The Society Islands of the South Pacific, best known by the name of their biggest island, top a lot of bucket lists, and for good reason. An eight-hour flight from Los Angeles, Tahiti lies in the same time zone as Hawaii, so jet lag is minimal. A part of French Polynesia, the islands are well-known for their glistening beaches, pristine waters and friendly natives. Each of the islands in the group have something to offer, but my favorites are Bora Bora, for its over-water bungalows, and Moorea, with its natural beauty that invites hiking and exploring. Another is Rangiroa, which has beautiful pink sand beaches. The Brando resort on Tetiaroa is the place to go for understated, Robinson Crusoe-style luxury. In the coming week, I’ll be spending several days among the islands, scouting out new and remodeled properties.

·         Greenland. The world’s largest island, which is politically a part of Denmark, has long been considered too remote to visit, at least easily, but that is changing. Just last week, a new international airport opened in the capital city of Nuuk, and next summer United Airlines will start offering non-stop flights to Nuuk from Newark. Previously, U.S. tourists had to fly through Oslo or Copenhagen. Greenland hosts about 130,000 tourists per year, arriving by air or ship, to hunt and fish, explore its Arctic tundra and see its wildlife, ranging from whales to musk ox to reindeer and polar bears.

·         East Africa. My husband and I spent nearly all of October exploring Kenya and Tanzania. First came our climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro, a bucket-list item if there ever was one. If you’re ready for the challenge—or think you might be—we’ll be happy to set you up with an experienced, reliable outfitter for what will surely be one of your life’s greatest adventures. Or maybe a safari is more your style. Our recent safari took us through five camps, winding up in the marvelous Serengeti, where we got up close and personal with rhinos, giraffes, elephants, even lions. (Not too close with those.)

·         Lovable cities. Maybe exploring new urban landscapes is more your cup of tea. And speaking of tea, London has just been crowned the best city in the world by marketing consultants Resonance and Ipsos, which ranked world cities based on “livability, lovability and prosperity.” The capital of the United Kingdom is renowned for its museums and nightlife. Paris is next, thanks to its shopping and sightseeing; leading the way for the French capital is the newly restored Notre-Dame Cathedral, which opens this weekend after a five-year-long renovation from the devastating 2019 fire. New York is third on the list, with its Broadway shows and top-tier dining. Rounding out the Top 10: Tokyo, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Dubai, Berlin and Singapore.

There’s truly something for everyone waiting for you out there. Ready to explore in ’25? Give us a call!
