Top 10 travel experiences

Will we ever be able to claim that we’ve ‘seen it all’? Nothing is less certain. Nevertheless, here are a few suggestions for corners of the world to explore in 2025. From wildlife to stunning natural scenery and communities as remote as they are friendly. Happy travels!

See king penguins in the Falkland Islands

The Falkland Islands lie off the coast of Tierra del Fuego in the southern Atlantic. At the ‘end of the world’, the blue of the water meets the green of the moorland peat bog, a peaceful landscape of meadows dotted with coves and bays. On the Volunteer Point peninsula or on Saunders Island, you won’t be able to miss the emblematic and gigantic colonies of king penguins. With their long, erect silhouettes, dressed entirely in black and white, their throats and beaks adorned in bright orange, they waddle along the beach, their beaks pointed skywards as if to grow taller. Truly majestic!

Glide down the Saint Lawrence river in an ice canoe

Exploring the Saint Lawrence river in winter is an experience as rare as it is spectacular! Make it truly unique by giving ice canoeing a try. Once you’ve put on your equipment and learnt the basic techniques on dry land, set off on the Saint Lawrence: first using large oars, on the watery sections of the river, then, equipped with your spiked boots, in the ‘scooter’ position on the icy stretches. It’s a thrilling introduction to the sport and an incredible winter experience, in the heart of a magnificent natural setting.

Be dazzled by the Cirque Rouge in Majunga

Watching the sunlight dance at the Cirque rouge in Majunga is a most bewitching spectacle. Visit the mystical lands of Madagascar on the shores of the Mozambique Channel to take in this incredible natural landscape. A geological masterpiece carved by wind and water, the result of a complex combination of erosion and sedimentation over millions of years. At sunrise and sunset, the sun’s rays illuminate the layers of sandstone in multiple shades of red, ochre and pink. A breathtaking panorama and a photographer’s paradise.

Meet the sea lions of the Namib Desert

Stretching along the Atlantic Ocean, the Namib Desert in Namibiais the oldest desert in the world. A place where the cold, tumultuous waters of the ocean meet the scorching, majestic sand dunes. It is in the heart of this theatrical landscape that one of the largest colonies of sea lions in southern Africa has found refuge. Carried by the cold Benguela ocean current, some 100,000 animals come each year to bask and breed at Cape Cross, along the Skeleton Coast. A rare spectacle in a breathtaking setting!

Learn about the mola art of the Kunas women

Welcome to the San Blas Islands, a Panamanian archipelago in the Caribbean Sea. You are surrounded by white sand, transparent waters and coral islets. It was here, amid palm trees and dugout canoes, that the Kuna Amerindian people settled. The women preserve the tradition of molas, a centuries-old art of fabric appliqué inspired by the primitive body paintings that adorned their bodies before the arrival of the Spanish. Instead of these ancestral tattoos, you can now see them proudly wearing their colourful tunics, expressions of their identity.

Climb to the Meteora monasteries

The Meteora monasteries stand in Greece, in the valley of the River Penea, in the fertile plain of Thessaly. Imposing, abrupt blocks of sandstone, rocky peaks that became the natural geological setting for 24 Orthodox Christian monasteries in the 14th and 15th centuries. Six of them still open their sacred doors to you today. Imagine these extraordinary monasteries at one with the rock and reaching for the sky! According to legend, heavenly rocks were sent by Providence to allow ascetics to withdraw and pray. History, splendour and mystery: a breathtaking site!

Disconnect off the coast of Sumatra

Nature, peace and pleasure: if this programme appeals to you, head for the Indonesian island of Bangka. Discover this wild and unspoilt jewel off the east coast of Sumatra. One example is the beach at Parai, in the north-east of the island. This is a chance to get away from the crowds, in a tropical Eden of white sand planted with palm trees, and rocked by the swell of its turquoise waters. The beach is lined with huge, uniquely shaped granite boulders from which you can simply admire the beauty of the China Sea. A moment out of time.

Share the polar warmth of the Inuit

Meet the last guardians of the Pole, discover their ancestral traditions and share their rites, myths and customs. For a few days, experience an intense and unique human adventure, fully immersed in the Inuit community of Kullorsuaq, an isolated village on the west coast of Greenland, at the entrance to Melville Bay. And while the polar cold grips the body and the ice freezes the landscapes outside, let yourself be carried away indoors by the warmth of the Inuit spirit.

Dive into the origins of life at Shark Bay

On Australia’s west coast, Shark Bay is one of the most unspoilt regions on the planet. A veritable natural paradise awaits you, with its exceptional zoological and botanical treasures. You might even feel a sense of awe as you approach Hamelin Pool. In front of you, you’ll see strange colonies of algae built into mounds. These are stromatolites, concretions similar to those that existed more than 3.5 billion years ago, fossils of one of the oldest forms of life on Earth.

Meet the Bijagos queens

Head for the secret lands of the Bijagos archipelago, a haven of peace off the coast of Guinea-Bissau. Get ready to meet this “perfect people”, as the Bijagos like to call themselves, living in harmony with nature and in which women are said to be queens and priestesses. They play a major role, guaranteeing social, economic and spiritual balance. Here, women still choose their husbands by offering them a shell or singing them a song.
