From lush rainforests to erupting volcanoes, exploring the marvel of Hawai‘i’s natural world not only brings visitors closer to nature, but allows them to immerse themselves in Hawai‘i’s rich history. Below, visitors will find an array of recommendations for one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experiences, including volunteer opportunities, that aim to foster a new appreciation for Hawai‘i’s diverse ecosystem and form a deeper connection to the islands and its unique culture and traditions.

Kaua‘i
Waimea Canyon is a geological wonder 14 miles long, a mile wide and more than 3,600 feet deep. Waimea Canyon State Park offers sights everyone will find fascinating, from a scenic main road snaking alongside the canyon featuring several overlooks, to hikes for both beginning and advanced hikers. Just beyond Waimea Canyon State Park, 4,345-acre Kōkeʻe State Park rises to more than 4,200 feet above sea level, providing mesmerizing views of emerald Kalalau Valley and the Pacific from atop the Nāpali Coast. Both parks offer more than 45 miles of hiking trails and showcase a diversity of vegetation, native plants, forest birds and more. Kōke‘e State Park is also home to Kōkeʻe Natural History Museum, an ideal place for your clients to learn more about the park, its trails and volunteer opportunities. On Kaua‘i’s south shore, National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Allerton Garden is an 80-acre paradise of landscape design combining a multitude of tropical plants and works of garden art. Allerton Garden was named one of “50 Places of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler and its grounds have been featured in several blockbuster movies, including “Jurassic Park” and “Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides.”

Sofia – the exciting capital of Bulgaria
Sofia is one of the oldest capitals in Europe. Here you will find modern shopping centers, fine parks, elegant boulevards, Byzantine churches and monuments from the communist era. Located at the foot of the Vitosha mountain massif

​Bulgaria's beautiful capital, Sofia, is located at the foot of the Vitosha mountain range. The mountain has also given its name to the main street with rows of stylish shops and a leafy park at one end. In Vitosja you go skiing in the winter and walk in the forest in the summer. You can go up by funicular or chair lift.

The city is distinguished by its architectural mix of modern and historic buildings. Older landmarks are Bojana Church, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the early Byzantine St. Sophia Church. More modern architecture can be seen at the Bulgarian National Opera, the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, the Rakovski Street Theater District, and the Natsionalen dvorets na kulturata (NDK), Southeast Europe's largest cultural convention center.

​The city is small, in the center stands the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its large domes. In the crypt there is a large collection of icons spanning over a thousand years. Next to the cathedral is the church of Santa Sofia, which gave the city its name. Also, don't miss the Banya Bashi Mosque from 1576. The National Museum of History has over 650,000 objects and the National Art Gallery has art from the 19th and 20th centuries.

​Shopping can be done in Bulgaria Mall, The Mall, Mall of Sofia, the other department stores or at the so-called Women's Market, Zhenski Pazar, a bustling bazaar that stretches over several blocks where clothes, food, carpets, shawls and much more are sold .There are many other small markets in the suburbs as well.

Vodenitzata cooks good Bulgarian food and the staff serve in national costume. There are also vegetarian options, not always a matter of course in Bulgaria. Still, they have the best vegetables in Europe. Don't forget to try the good Bulgarian wine!

The best time to go here is during the summer months, but there are fewer tourists in spring and autumn if you prefer. Or - if you want to go skiing, winter is of course the best.

You can stay well at affordable prices. In addition, the travel agency often has agreements with most hotels, so you get away even cheaper.

You can easily travel with local transport, which has a good network of subways, trams, cable buses and regular buses. If you choose to take a taxi, it is also incredibly cheap.

Take out your calendar and plan your next weekend trip.

What does ‘Protected transfers’, ‘Non-protected transfers’ or ‘Self-transfer flight’ mean?

We want to help you have the best travel experience possible. And we know that saving money on flights is one way to make a happy traveller.

For that reason, when you search for flights, we’ll show you lots of different options to help you get the most value possible. 
​
BUT. And it’s a big BUT – which is why we made it big. 
Some of these cheaper options come with risks. That’s why they cost less.

So before you book, we want to help you understand what you’re signing up to.  
Some of this may seem a little complicated, but we’re going to do our best to explain.

Here are some of those tricky things:

Let’s look at Stockholm to Gran Canaria, via London, again.

As we said, if the Stockholm flight is delayed, you will have less time to catch the flight from London. 
So the more time you have between the flight from Stockholm landing, and the flight to Gran Canaria taking off, the better.
When you landed in London, you will have to pick up your checked luggage at the baggage carousel, and then check in again for the flight to Gran Canaria.

This could mean waiting a long time for your baggage, followed by a big line at check-in, and then who-knows-how-long going through security screening.

Normally, you have to pass the passport control for the country you arrived in before to catch the carousel. 
So you must know if you need visa to enter the country or if there is any special requirements like PCR test to enter the  country.

Not only that, but the flight to Gran Canaria might be from a different terminal. Depending on the airport, this could mean having to wait for a shuttle to that other terminal.
In rare cases, the next flight could even be from a completely different London airport. London’s airports are very far apart; you might be looking at more than two hours to get from one to another.

In some countries, even though you won’t be leaving the airport, you will need a visa or a transit visa. 
That might mean you need to organize a visa well in advance, before you board any of the planes. 
Or it might mean joining yet another line once at that country’s airport, in order to get a transit stamp.

Also: airlines have different baggage rules. You’ll need to make sure your hand luggage and your checked luggage comply with both airlines.

Now, here is the REALLY IMPORTANT part.

Because the transfer is not protected, it's a good idea to find out all this information yourself. 
The airlines don’t have an alliance this time, so they won’t be able to help. 
We want you to have the best time possible, so it's a good idea to look into the extra information about the flights, transfers or airports before you book.

Try researching the airports, their terminals, and how to get between them. 
We’d also recommend going to the airports’ websites, and researching things like public transportation and taxi costs.
 You’ll also need to think about how long you’ll need to get from one flight to the other. 
The best way is to plan for a worst-case scenario (i.e., build in lots of time for waiting and lines).

Don’t forget to research the baggage rules of all the airlines you’re flying with and do some research on the visa situation.

Hopefully this will help you balance the risks, plan properly to reduce those risks, and point you in the right direction!

HERE’S A QUICK RECAP:

Protected transfers
One booking reference
Friendly airline alliance
Anything goes wrong, the airlines help at no extra cost
 
Non-protected transfers
Each flight has its own booking reference
The airlines do not have a friendly alliance
Anything goes wrong, you’ll have to pay for one or more new tickets
 

Self-transfer flights
Each flight has its own booking reference
The airlines do not have a friendly alliance
A travel agent will assist you if anything goes wrong
HOWEVER, different travel agents offer different levels of assistance on different trips
If anything isn't clear, please give us a shout through the little “Contact Us” button down there, and we'll be happy to explain these points in more detail. Happy travels!

If you're travelling with luggage, there are some things to consider.

With protected transfer, you only pay for the luggage on time and the luggage is checked to your final destination.

With the 2 other transfers you have to buy and pay luggage for each flight and it only checked to the destination in the ticket.

And if you compare the prices, it is not always the best way to buy the cheapest ticket. 
​If the flight is not a direct flight it will take  longer time, and you take a risk.

An airline ticket is a  contract that they should take you from point A to point B.   
So if the flight is cancelled  they offer you a  new  flight, but it can  be  next day ,
and  the airline  provide  you hotel  without extra cost.

So its very important to have a  good  travel insurance if something happens that destroy you  plans.

We can provide  you with  the  best insurances  .

And when  you  book  you  can also  buy different  levels of support help.

Here is a real example that show that it can  be  better  to  always  contact  a  travel consultant or adviser.

This  information  of the  prices is  real  but  the  prices  is  from 14th of January  so  the  prices can  be  different now.

If the customer had called to me, this is what I had offered.

​Belgium is a country worth visiting all year round.
You will find that Belgium is more are mussels, french fries and Manneken Pis.
At the beginning of the year with, for example, Valentine's Day to experience romantic Brussels.
Spring, with its many holidays and long weekends, is a perfect time to visit Europe's many, fascinating cities.
Summer during the holiday season or just to experience the Landeyt.
Do you want to experience experiencing something different in the Belgian region of Flanders.
Then it becomes e.g. Bryge, which is world heritage classified by UNESCO, or the world city of Antwerp, where modern architecture meets the traditional.
In the autumn it can be hot days, so you can experience the country and get a good memory with you.
In December, you have all the Christmas markets around the country you can visit.

Magic and romance in Bruge

A visit to Bruge is like travelling to another world and time. The city is oozed with history and there is a veil of magic over the old medieval city, its cobbled streets, narrow alleys and 700 -year -old buildings. Bruge is incredibly photogenic and charming, the wow moments are many when walking through the city.

​I have worked as a travel advisor for over 45 years and still learn new things every day. But some things have not changed over the years, just the technology how to book.
It has become both easier and more difficult for travellers to book their travels.
Very easier as there are a number of booking channels online.
But harder than, you can't control what you really buy. Maybe I'm a little one-eyed, but the fact is that you always benefit from booking with a travel agency or personal travel advisor.
Here  are  some of the benefits.

​​How can you access secret prices for flights and hotels or other means of transport?

Today, many try to find the cheapest prices on flights, trains, hotels, rental cars and transfers themselves.

It is believed that the lowest prices you have found are the best.

Unfortunately, in most cases, you pay more than necessary.

How come?

Flights.

The airlines have many prices, and you choose to show only the prices you want to sell yourself on their website.

The airlines have agreements with travel agencies that can sell many of these tickets cheaper, are directly with the airlines.

Package prices are only available at the travel agency or tour operator, and you will not know what the price is then the prices  are with restrictions that they must be sold together with hotels, rental car, train or other travel product.

You can book your tickets with Sky-Tours with confidence as they have trained travel advisers that you can talk to if you can't find what you are looking for online

Prices can be 20-30% cheaper than the corresponding ticket on the airline's website

The agreement also states that travel agencies must not advertise with prices lower than the airline themselves.

The large online agencies have these prices in their system that come up automatically if you are looking for flights and hotels at the same time.

There are also tickets that the On-Line agencies cannot handle, e.g. Lufthansa from Luleå. Skellefteå or other airports with connection Arlanda

You can buy those tickets even if you spend the night in Stockholm on the road. For example, the last flight in the evening that connects with a morning plan to your destination.

Then you also get a discount on the overnight at Arlanda

There are volume prices or net prices that many call the price.

Volume prices are usually lower than the prices of the airlines, but at these prices, the travel agencies put on a higher surcharge if the customer only buys an airline ticket.

Volume prices have only travel agencies that have large volumes access to.

Special prices such as seaman's ticket, connection flight, sports ticket, event ticket you can get from the airline if you contact them on the phone or a physical travel agency.

These tickets apply under certain conditions and have other rules.​
