Holidaying on a shoestring? These are tricky times for travellers. Going on holiday is not as cheap as it used to be. To snag a great deal on travel, check out these Cheapflights golden rules. But for something a little less shoestring…check out these brilliant – but expensive – bucket list ideas.
Polar Bears
Everyone wants to swim with the dolphins – but who can say they’ve walked with polar bears?
If you plan your trip around October and November, you can see the bear’s line up on the coast where they wait for the freezing of Hudson Bay. This is when they get into the ice and start hunting seal.
With so many opportunities to get some great photos of the wildlife, a trip to see polar bears is well worth having on your list.
Underwater hotels
This unusual choice of accommodation makes this list thanks to the novelty and beauty of actually being able to sleep below the waves.
Perfect for a romantic getaway or as a treat for yourself, putting ‘sleep with the fishies’ into your schedule has never been more appropriate.
African safari
This is a standard entry into travel bucket lists, and it’s not difficult to see why.
Orient Express
The Orient Express offers high class travel to some of the most beautiful corners of the world, whether you’re looking for the best of Botswana, tranquil days in Bali or the vibrant life of Rio de Janeiro.
Cruises
Cruises aren’t just for holiday-makers trying to let off a bit of steam; a cruise can be what you need to tick off locations on your bucket list in one fell swoop.
