  • Ijsland | Voyages & Journeys

    Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Unieke Avonturen - Ijsland Ijsland Although I deeply love oceans, deserts, and other wild landscapes, it is only mountains that beckon me with that sort of painful magnetic pull to walk deeper and deeper into their beauty. - Victoria Erikson - Ontdek het land van vuur en ijs op een buitengewoon avontuur, een land dat zich door een van de meest verbluffende vulkanische landschappen ter wereld baant. De unieke geologische geschiedenis heeft een omgeving gecreëerd die echt een van de meest indrukwekkende is die we hebben gezien. Oprijzende bergen die de fjorden op het Troll-schiereiland bereiken, IJsland is gevuld met geothermische openingen onder de aardkorst die talloze warmwaterbronnen in het hele land vormen. Omdat je in het noorden van IJsland bent, ben je in de buurt van de poolcirkel, waardoor je de Aurora Borealis in de periode van oktober tot april spectaculair kunt zien. In de zomermaanden zijn de dagen oneindig, waardoor er meer tijd is om op avontuur te gaan en deze ruige terreinen te verkennen, wandelen door het prachtige natuurreservaat Svarfaðardalur, kajakken op zee op zoek naar walvissen, vissen op Atlantische zalm en arctische zalmforel of de ochtend doorbrengen met heli skiën en surfen in de middag. Verken een vulkaan die 4000 jaar geleden voor de laatste keer uitbarstte en daal af naar zijn magmakamer 200 meter diep, het is nog steeds een mysterie hoe het magma is verdwenen. Als je erover nadenkt, hadden de Celtic Monks gelijk, IJsland blijft echt een van de meest visueel verbluffende landen ter wereld. Een van de beste plekken op aarde om het noorderlicht te zien, uitgestrekt met lavavelden en gladde heuvels uitgehouwen door rivieren en oude walvisdorpen zoals Husavik, het is gebouwd voor de echte avonturiers. Het afgelegen Troll-schiereiland (Tröllaskagi) is een van de meest buitengewone bergscenario's in het noorden van IJsland, een waar paradijs voor de liefhebbers van het buitenleven. Het is gelegen tussen de fjord van Skagafjörður en de fjord van Eyjafjorður. Het schiereiland is bergachtig met verschillende toppen die meer dan 1200 meter boven zeeniveau reiken, sommige meer dan 1400 meter, de hoogste is Kerling (1538 meter). Het is het deel van IJsland met het hoogste punt buiten de centrale hooglanden. We moedigen je echt aan om de omgeving zo veel mogelijk te verkennen met een enorme variëteit aan onvergetelijke begeleide avonturen.

  • Southern Lights in Tasmania | Voyages & Journeys

    Home - Unique Adventures - Southern Lights Southern Lights in Tasmania The soul becomes dyed with the colour of its thoughts. - Marcus Aurelius - This phenomenon is the more reserved version of the famed Northern Lights seen across Arctic Regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Tasmania is unarguably the best place in the world to witness the southern version of this elusive and ethereal light show. Given that the earth’s magnetic field is closest to its surface and the North and South Poles. The atoms bring various colours out, green, and red representing oxygen, and nitrogen reflected in green and blue. Southern Lights are the lesser-known counterpart to its famous alternative, the Northern Lights. Tasmania is an astonishing blend of heritage and authenticity with the purest air. We created an epic 10-day itinerary around the southern tip of Tasmania. Kick of your expedition in Australia’s second oldest city - Hobart. This is a destination that has an abundance of World heritage sites complete with expansive scenery, colonial history, and varied natural attractions. Summit the regions landmark, Mount Wellington for stunning views over Hobart. After a day of exploration head back to the yacht, where the crew prepared a marvellous dinner at the teppanyaki grill, complete with some of Tasmania’s delicious local seafood. The next day, wake up anchored on the coast of Bruny island. This island natural rough habitat is made up of rugged cliffs and has an abundancy of wildlife. After a lovely breakfast on the beach and short briefing it’s time to explore these beautiful natural landscapes after an intensive bushwalk make your way back to the lush coastline where the table is set for you for a local culinary experience. Bruny island is famous for its local cheeses and cool climate wines. Enjoy tasting some of the island’s best cheeses paired with some of their most prestige’s wines. Bruny island is undoubtedly the best place in Tasmania to witness the beautiful Aurora Australis. We created this itinerary as versatile as possible, from Hartz Mountains National Park, this park overlooks the south-west wilderness of Tasmania and offers beautiful walks and mountain bike trails with panoramic views, stepping into a seaplane for a breathtaking flight over the most abundant natural landscapes of Port Davey to surfing Tasmania’s best waves at Clifton Beach, dive below the surface at eagle hawk neck, this is a world class diving spot that includes the famous Cathedral Cave as well as the historic wreck of SS Nord.

The diving and hiking opportunities reveal scenic landscapes no matter where you are. Winter is prime time to witness nature's disco ball, with the long southern night’s drawing out the potential for a light show. That said, the Aurora Australis can be seen year-round from Tasmania, the November 2020 dazzler appeared less than four weeks before summer. Weather and atmospheric conditions are important factors. Cloudy nights obscure any aurora activity, while the light of the moon can also dim the aurora experience. The moon phase is incredibly important, make sure that there are no clouds and when the moon is getting to the darker phases, 25% or less that will be the perfect moment. This voyage is explicitly designed to carry out by yacht, such as the Beast . Best Time to Go: May to September Let's start your Adventure

  • Experience the Aurora Borealis | Voyages & Journeys

    Home - The Numinous - Aurora Borealis Experience the Aurora Borealis July-2022 Witnessing this magnificent light show with various colours dancing and twirling before your eyes, is nothing short of amazing, each display is totally unique and definitely a life-changing event. Let us first start to explain what causes the Aurora Borealis - When charged particles from the sun strike atoms in Earth's atmosphere, they cause electrons in the atoms to move to a higher-energy state. When the electrons drop back to a lower energy state, they release a photon: light. This process creates the beautiful aurora, also known as the Northern Lights. Truly a dazzling natural phenomenon that can be displayed in a variety of locations across the globe. The name Aurora Borealis comes from the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and Boreas is the Greek name for the north wind. Norway has no shortage of prime vantage points. First and foremost is Svalbard, a string of Arcticislands midway between continental Norway and the North Pole. Because the archipelago experiences polar night, or perpetual darkness, between mid-November and February, it offers double the opportunity to see the lights and is the only inhabited place in the world where you can experience the phenomenon during the day. Finland has around 50 nights per year of perpetual darkness and a vast array of extraordinary ways to watch this natural display, one of them being one of the most isolated lodges in Finland where the sky and your surroundings become a 360º theatre. With minimal light pollution and near-perfect visibility in some places, Greenlandprovides exceptional odds for viewing milky-green lights. A three or four night stay during the aurora season (September to the beginning of April) offers the best odds of spotting the lights. Or if you are in for more adventure, let us take you to Kangerlussuaq- this former U.S. military base near the airport counts northern lights sightings 300 nights per year, and it hosts aurora excursions that include a tour to witness the phenomenon and an overnight stay on the Greenland Ice Sheet (an experience typically reserved solely for research and expedition purposes). Combine the Northern lights with a unique adventure through the land of fire and ice, Iceland. From November through mid-March, where it will be short on sunlight, but days are still packed with adventures, like whale watching in the fjords, astro-touring the celestial events and fat biking groomed trails through breath-taking valleys. Around this period, it provides front row seats to the view the ghostly Northern Lights. Polar bears and the beluga whales have planted the Manitoba town of Churchill on the map – it is the easiest place to access that guarantees sightings. Also, an exceptional spot as it experiences aurora activity more than 300 nights per year. Observing the Northern Lights is truly the cherry on top to an otherwise amazing adventure. Voyages & Journeys provide specialised Aurora Borealis adventures among the most exciting destinations, but we should all bear in mind that it is are a natural phenomenon and thus elusive and unpredictable. < Previous Article Next Article >

  • Tempus Online | Voyages & Journeys

    Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - V&J na Imprensa - Tempus Magazine Tempus Magazine January-2023 The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. - Gemma Harris - A journey into Portugal's Alentejo All in the details; a chic stay at the rural Malhadinha Nova with unique travel curators, Voyages & Journeys. The passion of travel curators Vanessa and Jasper from Voyages & Journeys surpasses the norm. Even before meeting them face to face, I could tell they were in it because they genuinely wanted to improve travel experiences. The faultless and compassionate service from the outset reflected their personalities. They accompanied me on my transfer to our destination. The two-hour travel time from Lisbon allowed us to chat about their aim with Voyages and Journeys. The different paths they are taking from others and the values they hold close to help them find their edge in unique and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences for clients. And for this journey? They were taking me to experience one of their favourites and Portugal's best-kept secret, Alentejo. Driving through Alentejo at sunset made the evocative natural scenery even more so, with pink glistening in between the rolling vineyards and cork farms which seemed to stretch for miles. Sporadically we would encounter a small village where things moved leisurely, and they undoubtedly embraced the slower pace of life. The kind of villages where locals always leave their doors open and unlocked explained Vanessa. A warm welcome Arriving at Herdade da Malhadinha Nova in the evening created even more intrigue that this wild region exuded. The bumpy transfer in one of the estate's characterful jeep defenders did not disappoint. On route through the estate, Jasper explained that it spread over 450 hectares with various houses complete with rooms and suites. Over time the ruins throughout this area have been transformed into luxury accommodations. I was welcomed into one of the estate's 30 rooms within the 'Home of the terracotta.' Artisanal design Waking up to the far-reaching view surrounded by vineyards held promise for the next two days spent on the estate. Finishing up a cappuccino in none other than Vista Alegre crockery and the in-house chef's speciality eggs on the terrace overlooking the pool, I was ready. The tour around the estate highlighted how Malhadinha uses architecture that perfectly complements the area's rurality with modernity. Each house has its own take on the Alentejo culture, filled with various pieces from local artisans. I even had the opportunity to try my hand at a craft while here, taking a bulrush workshop with a local artisan - safe to say my creations won't make it into a room, however insightful and fun all the same. Each interior has its personalised touches, from the handcrafted marble details, and locally crafted furniture to the creative lights made from recycled plastic. Family details Owned by the Soares family, Rita Soares, the CEO, was there pointing out her favourite spots, with even a glimpse into the new under-construction spa area, building yet more for the future on what is already an estate based upon strong family foundations. It is truly all in the details throughout, and you can see this family passion project is authentic, with Rita perfecting every design touch herself, even down to each room's scent. Like all good stories, the Soares family story began with wine, with their project starting with the plantation of the first 20 hectares of vineyards. The tour around Malhadina's wine-making facilities and cellars showed every bottle label drawn by the family's children; the cow by Matilde was my favourite! This charm continued throughout and into the wine-tasting experience. Tasting their complex yet elegant - which today are award-winning - wines confirmed that they had resulted in their dedication to their respectful and sustainable processes. Gastronomic secrets The wines were paired with one of the many farm to table experiences I had here. From the olive groves, orchards, and farms to the vegetable gardens, Malhadinha is rich in quality, organic produce grown using regenerative farming methods. The food truly put the cherry on top, especially the Alentejo black pork on decadent risotto. Or maybe it was the incredible apple tart that almost looked too good to eat. The chefs throughout the estate are true to traditions while putting their gastronomic twists and tweaks on each dish. One of the local Portuguese chefs has been in the family for the past 25 years, adding the best-loved family dishes to the estate's menu. If you fancy getting in the kitchen, you can take lessons at Malhadinha and learn from the best. Anything is possible As well as being introduced to various friendly and welcoming staff members and local artisans in my time here, I also got to meet the other equine family members. They weren't just any horses; these were pure-blood Lusitano horses you can ride throughout the vineyards. Aside from wine tasting and horseback riding, there is plenty to do here. On my stay, I met with Luisa, the guest experience manager and was reassured that pretty much everything and anything was possible at Malhadinha, purely restricted by the guest's imaginations and desires. Some popular experiences are hot air balloon rides over the Alentejo plains, romantic picnics within the vineyards, quad biking around the estate or even your own beekeeper experience. More than luxury In Alentejo, nothing is rushed, slowly but surely providing for future generations. These sustainability-minded values continue to be a focus throughout Malhadinha, staying honest to the region. It is more than a luxury retreat. Malhadinha provides a carefully designed, unique and authentic space where traditions are kept alive and experiences are second to none while balancing the needs and respect for nature. Everything here, like in the hands of Voyages & Journeys, feels right and is a profound step for luxury travel. »»» For the original publication click here ««« < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

However, protecting these eco-systems comes at a horrifying cost – did you know that worldwide, more than 120 park rangers lose their lives every year to protect our global biodiversity and wildlife? These brave park rangers across the globe are led by true leaders, heroes and pioneers in conservation, such as Emmanuel de Merode from the Virunga Rangers, Sean Willmore from The Thin Green Line Foundation, Angela Sheldrick from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Leslie Howle from the Toucan Rescue Centre in Costa Rica, the amazing work from Titouan Bernicot with the Coral Gardeners on Mo’orea Island in French Polynesia, or Damien Mander with the International Anti-Poaching Foundation - these are just a few of many that share the passion of protecting our eco-systems.

While enjoying your vacation we also present the opportunity for you to join these organisations in the field, experience their daily activities and learn first-hand about their challenges and importance of their work. Head out side-by-side with anti-poaching and K9 units around the Serengeti or Maasai Mara national park; visit one of the most pioneering wildlife protecting and rehabilitation organisations around Tsavo National Park in Kenya where you may experience encounters with elephants and rhinoceros; or join park rangers and come face-to-face with mountain gorillas in Rwanda.

  • Viajar em Familia

    Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Comunicações - Travel with the Family Experiential Travel with the Family February-2020 Searching the adventures with your kids (young or older) is incredibly rewarding for the entire family. If there is one thing that we have been noticing, is that families are more cautious in their approach towards experiential travel. For the last years is more usual to book a villa vacation or resort somewhere comfortable and close to a beach, enclosed in a relaxed environment. There is an undoubted difference in providing a childcare and stress-free atmosphere in the most remote and adventuress environments around the globe, that translates in mom and dad getting the deserved relax time while enjoying magnificent experiences hand-crafted for them. We take great pleasure in working with young generations, as we can see that it unlocks so much new potential. It is the greatest gift to educate the next generation about the beautiful ecological diversities and wildlife that our planet holds, while at the same time we alert them the terrible effects of climate change and the endangered species list that continue to expand. There is no better satisfaction than to witness a child exploring new habitats and being so excited about it. During the planning phase nothing changes for us, we still perform exhaustive research of every aspect of the journey to ensure that we cover every detail of safety and health. As you might have noticed by now, we really strive for a trustful relationship with each client and during our planning we keep close contact to shape it to client’s wishes. If requested we also look for au-pairs, tutors or babysitters to join the family, once we have understood the family needs and children’s likes and dislikes. We want to make sure that every member of the family gets involved in all activities, so that they can share those moments. We craft voyages that combine activities around the children’s school years, providing valuable education to use during or on upcoming school year. Depending on the time schedule of their school vacations we can take the family to destinations that offer plenty of variety. For example, it is amazing to travel around the Galapagos Islands, but we can turn it into a whole other experience if you are joined by a naturalist specialist in the local environment. Of course, there are certain adventures and environments that just are not suitable for children. If the possibility is there to ensure everyone can be involved in a journey, without compromising safety and health, we will make it possible. Our method to experiential travel assures that we provide an itinerary to meet every requirement of each family member to experience the extraordinary. < Previous Article Next Article > RNAVT 7818 Empresa registada em Portugal Política de Privacidade Termos e Condições > Contacte-nos info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

  • Space Adventures | Voyages & Journeys

    EN PT NL SPACE ADVENTURES SKY IS NOT OUR LIMIT ANYMORE LET'S REIMANIGE THE THRILL OF SPACE EXPLORATION Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. - Neil Armstrong - De wolken zijn niet meer onze limiet. Laten we de sensatie van ruimteverkenning opnieuw uitvinden. Een reis naar de ruimte verandert ons perspectief op onze prachtige blauwe planeet echt en biedt ons ook de mogelijkheid om nieuwe manieren te ontdekken om de uitdagingen waarmee we op aarde worden geconfronteerd, op te lossen. Toen 4 niet-professionele, volledig burgerbemanningen, ook bekend als de INSPIRATION 4 crew gelanceerd werden in de Dragon-capsule van SpaceX, cirkelen ze rond de aarde met een hoogte van 575 kilometer (357 mijl), ongeveer 160 kilometer (100 mijl) hoger dan het ISS. De baan is zelfs iets hoger dan de locatie van de Hubble-ruimtetelescoop, die in 2009 voor het laatst werd bezocht door een bemanningsmissie met de Space Shuttle. Met de Inspiration 4-missie openden ze de deur voor civiele ruimtevaart, en Voyages & Journeys is daar om je door alle stappen te begeleiden om astronaut te worden. Tijdens het trainingsproces zal V&J optreden als uw persoonlijke missiebeheerbedrijf en zorgt voor alle planning, training, communicatie en administratie. We werken nauw samen met onze gasten om de reis eenvoudig te maken en samen met alle lanceringsaanbieders zorgen we voor een soepel missiebeheer. We zien het als onze eigen missie dat mensen en onze planeet zoveel mogelijk profiteren van ruimtereizen en we zien het als onze verantwoordelijkheid om manieren te vinden om deze processen zo eenvoudig en kosteneffectief mogelijk te maken. Met de huidige vooruitgang van de wereldwijde ruimtevaart en onze kennis over de ontwikkelingen in de ruimte-industrie en rideshare-gemeenschappen zijn we in staat om neutraal advies te geven aan individuen, overheidsinstellingen, onderwijsprogramma's en commerciële organisaties die het als hun missie zien om onze manier van leven te verbeteren op aarde met de technologische vooruitgang van de ruimtevaart. Eén van de meest inspirerende projecten waar we met trots deel van uitmaken, is Ruimte Reis bedrijf Space Perspective. Ze lanceerden echt een nieuw tijdperk in luxe en ervaringsreizen. Een ervaring die de sensatie van ruimteverkenning opnieuw verbeeldt met 's werelds meest radicaal zachte reis naar de ruimte. Ruimteverkenners en reisavonturiers die hun bucketlist willen upgraden, kunnen nu genieten van een uniek 360-graden uitzicht op onze prachtige planeet vanaf 30 km hoger. Stap aan boord van het ruimteschip Neptune, voortgestuwd door een ultramoderne ruimteballon ter grootte van een voetbalstadion. U zult genieten van deze sensationele ervaring vanuit het nieuwste comfort en de beste verstelbare stoelen om te genieten van het 450-mijls, 360-graden uitzicht. Een zes uur durende reis van constante verandering van oogverblindende uitzichten, een open oproep tot kleding, champagne en cocktails en episch entertainment aan boord, allemaal georganiseerd door de koning van Miami, David Grutman. En, geloof of niet, er is ook een badkamer aan boord. Word een Space Explorer en maak deel uit van de geschiedenis. Stijg op vanaf het lanceerplatform in het iconische Kennedy Space Center in Florida om boven 99% van de aardse atmosfeer te zweven tijdens een ontzagwekkende reis van twee uur door de biosfeer van onze planeet, vanuit de comfortabele capsule van ruimteschip Neptunus, met zijn enorme kijkvensters. In tegenstelling tot de fysiek slopende en oogverblindend dure ruimteraketten, is er minimale voorbereiding en geen fysieke eisen voor gasten. Ruimteschip Neptune herschrijft het technische speelboek, omdat het geen raketaandrijving gebruikt en ook geen g-krachtversnelling veroorzaakt. Ervaar een heel ander perspectief dat de meest viscerale herinnering is aan hoe onderling verbonden we zijn, niet alleen met elkaar, maar met alle levende organismen - grenzen en verschillen verdwijnen. Het is een krachtig, ontroerend en uitgebreid perspectief dat het menselijk bewustzijn verlicht, dit is de ultieme astronautenervaring. Onze atmosfeer strekt zich uit over honderden kilometers de ruimte in. Het perspectief van naar beneden kijken door atmosferische lagen, omlijst door de dunne blauwe lijn, is - volgens de meeste astronauten die het hebben meegemaakt - ingrijpend en leven veranderend. Deze unieke benadering van ruimtereizen houdt ook rekening met het milieu, inclusief emissievrije ruimtevluchten die tegemoetkomen aan de toegenomen vraag naar duurzamer reizen en ervaringen voor zowel de welgestelden als degenen die willen investeren in een once-in-a-lifetime reis. Totale reis: USD 125.000 per verkenner USD 1.000 borg per stoel Reis waar maar weinigen zijn geweest in een volledig toegankelijk formaat dat een nieuwe lat legt in ruimtereizen en buitenaardse luxe-ervaringen met deze exclusieve ruimt expeditie.
