National Parks Holidays

Startling natural landscapes
Water-cracked cliffs and volcanic hot-spots, gorgeous grasslands and stunning wildlife, majestic peaks and rugged wilderness – some of the world’s most startling natural landscapes just have to be seen to be believed.

From the craggy cliffs and sheer immensity of the Grand Canyon to the fairy-tale palaces and wonderful wildlife of Portugal Sintra Cascais Natural Park, national parks are truly places of wonder. Many may be familiar from television programmes and photographs, but seeing them up close is an incomparable, incredible and enthralling experience. With our national parks holidays, you can marvel at these spectacular wonders yourself.

Whether you’re a nature lover, a history lover or simply love the great outdoors, our national parks holidays have something for you.

Nature lovers can look for tigers in India's iconic Ranthambhore National Park and the Big Five in South Africa's Kruger, or perhaps step into the teeming jungle landscapes and tropical forests of Costa Rica’s national parks. Lovers of the really wild outdoors can enjoy the rugged Patagonian splendour and wildlife of Chile's Torres del Paine National Park or keep an eye out for bears in Canada’s Jasper National Park.

For history buffs, Scotland’s Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is steeped in centuries of history. Within this untamed landscape of tranquil lochs, gorgeous glens and towering munros, you'll find islands crowned with the remains of Iron Age castles, Scotland's earliest example of town-planning (in charming Callander) and the fascinating ruins of Inchmahome Priory. Across the Atlantic, in the heart of the USA, you could come face to face with Mount Rushmore’s iconic carvings of American Presidents, and discover the history and rich heritage of the West in Deadwood.

Finally, for those who love to explore the wide-open spaces, our national parks holidays to North America showcase some the world’s most enormous wonders of nature. Stand at the edge of the Grand Canyon, take in Yellowstone National Park’s rugged beauty and bubbling mud pots, or perhaps explore Bryce Canyon's intricate maze of towering hoodoos. Wherever you go, there is plenty to see on our USA National Parks tours.

If you're keen to explore the most remarkable landscapes on Earth, take a look through the selection of current national parks holidays and tours below.
