Heritage-listed: Mount Fuji is Japan’s highest peak (3776 metres) and an iconic, symmetrical active stratovolcano about 100 km southwest of Tokyo.

Take off on a nine-day Japan express tour from Osaka to Tokyo. Bullet trains, ancient temples, neon-lit cities that never sleep, and street food that’ll blow every other meal out of the water. Oh, and let’s not forget Mount Fuji, an active volcano about 100 kilometres southwest of Tokyo.

Commonly called “Fuji-san”, it’s the country’s highest peak at 3776 metres, a pilgrimage spot for centuries. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s considered one of Japan’s third sacred mountains, and summit hikes remain a popular activity.

Exploration will take you from the Buddhist monks of Kōyasan to the high rollers of Tokyo. See the many faces of Japan on this condensed tour beginning in Osaka. Savour the region’s culinary delicacies and the beautiful views at Mount Fuji. Stay in a mountain temple and soak up local culture in onsen hot springs. A great combination of the traditional and the contemporary, this adventure provides a taste of Japan’s rich culture.

When it comes to Morocco, preferences can vary. I’ve found it to be a lively blend of medieval walled cities, vast desert landscapes and sparkling seaside appeal. A rich mosaic of historic medinas, sweeping desert dunes and tranquil coastal shores.

I had no idea Costa Rica was so big on ecotourism. It’s a nature-based tourism paradise defined by its lush rainforests, active volcanoes and rich biodiversity.

Costa Rica’s top attractions are world-renowned for their ecological diversity and escapades. Key highlights include Manuel Antonio National Park for pristine beaches and spotting sloths, exploring the iconic Arenal Volcano for thermal springs, the Monteverde Cloud Forest (zip-lining through it), the neon-blue waters of Rio Celeste and Tortuguero National Park for turtle nesting.

Referred to as “the adventure capital of the Americas”, Costa Rica is for thrillseekers: trekking, zip-lining, biking, horseback riding and kayaking. On an exciting 13-day Costa Rica active adventure from San José to San José, spot wildlife in vibrant jungles, cable-slide through lush rainforests and unwind on sun-soaked beaches along the Pacific coast.

After landing in San José, embark on four days of exploration around Monteverde and Arenal Volcano. Raft down the mighty Pacuare River before crossing over to the remote rainforest lodge, surrounded on all sides by the thick, enveloping jungle. End the journey by heading down to the beach at Puerto Viejo.
