Aventuras Únicas Expedições de Iate Explore Comunicações Sobre Nós EN PT NL Início - Sobre Nós - Viajar Connosco Viajar Connosco We are here to take you to the ends of the world and guide you through the most bespoke paradises out there. For us, travel is more than a passion, it is an educational tool to learn more about ourselves, our planet and its biodiversity, truly enhancing every single experience. Born from the passion of two founders who travel across the world, they are set out to transform luxury travel, and in Vanessa’s own words “there are so many more possibilities than people realise at first”. During our journeys, we have visited breathtaking places and interact with cultures that help us to understand different perspectives, providing us life-changing moments. What surprised us off-guard is the impact our presence had on the local community and environment. Through our travels in Sumatra (Indonesia) we have visited the UNESCO World Heritage Leuser ecosystem – the last place on earth where tigers, elephants, orangutans, and rhinos live together in the wild. The FKL rangers that guided us through the dense jungle showed us the magical bond between wildlife and their ecosystem and the importance of protecting it. Unfortunately, we could also witness the destruction of their ecosystem, illegal poaching and impacts of heavy industries; it’s an image not possible to forget. Moments like these makes us aware of how impactful it is to explore with purpose, and Voyages & Journeys reflects our own values and experiences. Moments created by your inspiration What do you like? What do you dislike? What is your passion? What are you curious about? These are some of the questions that come into the equation when planning a perfect trip. We really want to know it all. We always start with an introduction meeting under the joy of a lunch, a drink or through a video call to explain who we are and then we start with a blank sheet of paper, where we start to create your journey based entirely around your inspiration. We pride ourselves to create every journey or spectacular adventure from scratch, we do not work with static itineraries and the plan is interactive and flexible. Your inspiration lays down the direction we create the incomparable route that challenges the most knowledgeable traveller. Our expertise makes it possible Whether it is sailing to Antarctica to witness the Solar Eclipse, going on a diving expedition around the Cocos Islands, guiding you to the far edges of Lapland, or through the wilderness of British Columbia; we understand more than ever that it takes a team of world experts to please the truly curious minds. Archaeologists, astronomers, anthropologists, marine biologists, professional photographers, naturalists and amazing conservation projects, the list goes on. Together with our unique network of specialists and industry partners, we outmanoeuvre the most challenging obstacles and turn them into exciting opportunities. Every day we set out to find the new and exciting Charles Darwin's theory of evolution states that evolution happens by natural selection. Individuals in a species show variation in physical characteristics. (…) As a consequence those individuals most suited to their environment survive and, given enough time, the species will gradually evolve. This is a good analogy for the love for travelling. There is always something new and exciting to discover and to experience. In Jasper’s own words “It’s a hunger that never stills”. Every day we communicate with specialists and local communities, and go in search of the extraordinary, to see how we can access the world’s most remarkable locations and create unforgettable experiences. During our journeys we always try to understand how we could assist the local community and conservation projects, to make sure that the environment and community can benefit from our travels. Founded in 2017 and continuously raising the bar Day in day out, year after year, we are continuously developing our knowledge, opening more and more doors (closed for most), developing adventures that are not for the faint-hearted and journeys that connect the 7 continents with our oceans. We provide our clients with experiences that turn into memories and stories that last a lifetime and voyages unlike anything they have experienced before.

Home - V&J in Press - De Telegraaf Newspaper De Telegraaf Newspaper Oktober-2022 We waren verlamd van ontzag en pracht. Die ene magische reis. - Sigrid Stamkot - Mooiste herinnering Mijn vrouw en ik zijn gecertificeerde redding duikers en organiseren ook duikexcursies. Tijdens een duik bij El Nido, vlak bij de prachtige Miniloc eilanden, werden we ineens vergezeld door een school van zes walvishaaien, soms op maar een meter afstand, een half uur lang. Eenmaal uit het water waren er emotioneel van. Vergeten In het vliegtuig naar Singapore heb ik een mijn paspoort in het vliegtuig laten liggen. Ik kwam er pas bij de paspoortcontrole achter. Het vliegtuig was schoongemaakt en nieuwe passagiers waren al aan het boarden. Gelukkig kwam de piloot ‘m na een half uur zelf brengen! Mooi vliegveld Op Singapore Changi Airport zijn de efficiency, de verbluffende architectuur en de winkel- en eetgelegenheden van wereldkwaliteit. Spa’s, een wilde kurkentrekker waterval, bioscopen, tentoonstellingen, een vlindertuin: echt alles is daar. Gadget Mijn Ocean Bottle, een thermofles gemaakt van 11.9 kilo gerecycled plastic uit oceanen en rivier systemen. Onvergetelijk Met rangers en onderzoekers van het Sumatra Orang-oetan Conservatie programma zochten we verkoeling in een meer van het Mount Leuser national Park. Een groep wilde olifanten dacht er hetzelfde over. Op dat moment waren we verlamd van ontzag en pracht, we konden niet beseffen wat er gebeurde. Altijd mee Mijn fotografie en video appratuur. Ik vind het belangrijk om onze reizen en momenten vast te leggen. Ooit terug naar… Als kind reisde ik met mijn moeder en zusje een paar keer naar Canada om familie te bezoeken. Het is één van de mooiste bestemmingen. De pure wildernis van Britsh Columbia, Newfoundland, Manitoba en de Noordwestelijke territoria zijn uniek en zo goed behouden. Favoriet Australië, Nieuw-Zeeland en de zuidelijke Stille Oceaan. Zo verschillend met elk eigen cultuur, tradities en pracht, met een ongekende reeks aan avontuur, sport, watersport en natuur en een unieke dierenwereld. Maar ook geweldige accommodaties op adembenemede locaties. Mijn favoriet is het Pretty Beach House in Bouddi National Park in Australië. < Previous Article Next Article >

Home - Unique Adventures - Portugal Portugal One day you will wake up and there won’t be any more time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. Do it now! - Paulo Coelho - Being awarded several times with Leading Destination, Portugal is still mostly undiscovered for many. This is a destination that is very special to us, because we call it our home, this is where Vanessa and Jasper started their adventure with V&J. As our home we can say with certainty that nobody truly knows Portugal as we do! Experience the charms and lively atmosphere of Lisbon, venture through the narrow-cobbled alleys and uncover hidden gems around every corner to end up in one of the beautiful miradouros looking over the city of the seven hills, discover the culinary highlights on exceptional locations - each with their own story about the heritage of their region - and at the end of the day settle at one of Lisbon’s pleasant bars where everybody comes together to enjoy a wonderful sunset with a sundowner. After a lovely stay in Lisbon, board the 26-meter Stardust of Mary, a sleek sports yacht docked in Cascais. With her spacious exterior, it makes her the perfect place to unwind and relax. Set sail on an unforgettable voyage along the coastlines to the Algarve. Be the first to discover the western coastlines and the Atlantic Ocean. Immerse yourself in the richness of colourful culture and outstanding adventures that awaits outside the capital. Head to the Alentejo, Jasper Sigon’s favourite region, one of the best-preserved landscapes and one of the least populated regions of southern Europe. Its vast open country is home, both to tradition and contemporary culture, renewing itself as a region that it is global but not globalised. A welcoming and hospitable land recognised for its excellent food and wines, respect for environmental sustainability and the preservation of ancient traditions and customs. The sense of beauty is everywhere. Venture north and explore the chaotic landscapes, peaks and the breathtaking views of Serra de Estrela with marked hiking trails, or the Paiva walkways to find the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. A little bit further north, the bespoke Douro Valley, marked by small valleys of exceptional terraced vineyards, bordered by olive trees, and supported by many kilometres of schist walls, houses a typical Mediterranean fauna and flora, and one of the world’s most fascinating architectural works, where the human force and the grandeur of nature are uniquely combined with the Douro River as a core identity factor. Experience the Portuguese culture, grandeur and heritage on a unique adventure. Best Time to Go: May to June & September to October Let's start your Adventure

Home - Unique Adventures - East Timor East Timor Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. - Albert Einstein - Within South-East Asia lies this natural wonder, East Timor. It comprises the eastern half of Timor Island, the separate enclave of Oecusse (situated in West Timor) and the small offshore islands of Atauro and Jaco. Formed by continental uplift along a major fault line (and in the case of Atauro, submarine volcanic activity), Timor-Leste is rugged with a mountainous backbone rising to over 2000 meters. Almost half of Timor-Leste’s land area has a slope of 40 degrees or more making the scenery magical. Explore the wonderful city exuding Portuguese flavours, Baucau, through its picturesque colonial buildings, limestone outcrops and swaying banyan trees. Soak up the magnificent coastline stretching both east and west and observe remarkable mountain ranges which dominate the skyline. Head inland with your specialist to an abandoned 18th-century Dutch fort whose walls still stand, overgrown with trees and shrubs. Climb the stone steps to find an iron cannon embossed with Dutch colonial marks. Travel by helicopter deep into the mountainous depths of East Timor. Enveloped in eucalyptus forests, commence your hike to the Mount Ramelau summit where a striking statue of the Virgin Mary looms. Take a moment to savour the surreal experience of viewing the entire nation from this single vantage point. The coral reefs in Timor are pristine and have an extraordinary diversity. They lie within the Coral Triangle, which is recognized as the global epicentre of marine biodiversity as it has the highest coral diversity in the world, with 76% of the world’s 805 coral species found there. Tauro, a small island lying to the north of Dili (the capital), has recently been found to have the most bio-diverse waters in the world in terms of reef fish. With excellent visibility, expect a myriad of mesmerising fish species amongst the impressive coral it’s truly mesmerizing. Timor is also regarded as a global hotspot for whales and dolphins due to their abundance, diversity and sheer density of numbers, they can be spotted year-round. Due to Timor’s deep waters, it became a major route between the Pacific and Indian Oceans for many different species. Join our specialist, assist the local marine conservation and learn about the ongoing efforts to save and protect these majestic coral reefs.

Mensen de uitzonderlijke planeet te laten ontdekken en eeuwige herinneringen creëren. - Mical Joseph - Wekelijks wordt een unieke MASTERS Member uitgelicht. Een MASTERS Member is lid van MASTERS League. Jasper Sigon is de Co-founder van Voyages & Journey . Hij bedenkt op maat gemaakte reisconcepten voor het hogere segment en voert deze van A tot Z uit. Zijn doel? Mensen de uitzonderlijke planeet te laten ontdekken en eeuwige herinneringen creëren. Voyages & Journeys Eind 2018 lanceerde Jasper en zijn compagnon het exclusieve reisbureau Voyages & Journeys . Gericht op het hogere segment creëert hij de mooiste en meest exclusieve op maat gemaakte reizen. Hij laat mensen op een duurzame en verantwoordelijke manier de wereld ontdekken. Alles wordt van A tot Z geregeld: van een bijzondere safari in Zuid-Afrika tot aan heliskiën in Groenland, niks is hen te gek. “Als een klant ons benaderd, dan bouw ik eerst een vertrouwensband op. Op basis van alle ideeën en wensen die de klant van te voren heeft aangegeven maak ik drie concepten. Die concepten leg ik bij de klant neer en daar komt dan één concept uit. Dan komt onze kracht naar boven: mijn compagnon en ik kunnen ook met de klant(en) meereizen”, aldus Jasper. In tegenstelling tot de reguliere reisbureaus houdt het na het bedenken en plannen van de reis bij Voyages & Journeys niet direct op, want Jasper en zijn compagnon gaan door tot het beste resultaat. Best of the Best Door de jaren heen heeft Voyages & Journeys de kans gekregen om nauw samen te werken met natuurbeschermers, biologen en natuuronderzoekers. Hierdoor konden de meest onontdekte en ecologische diverse bestemmingen over de hele wereld verkend worden. Op iedere reis wordt er gelet op de kleinste details om een uniek perspectief te bieden op biodiversiteit, dieren in het wild, cultuur en tradities. MASTERS League “Begin 2021 ben ik lid geworden van de MASTERS League. Ik bezoek al sinds 2017 MASTERS EXPO. Een paar weken terug kreeg ik de mogelijkheid om toe te treden tot de League want het gehele concept, de uitstraling en de bereikbaarheid trekken mij heel erg aan. Ik was al een tijdje opzoek om mij bij iets soortgelijks aan te sluiten. Vooral om mijn gedrevenheid met andere mensen en ondernemers te delen vind ik gewoon heel erg interessant.” »»» Voor de originele publicatie klik hier ««« < Vorig Artikel Volgend Artikel > RNAVT 7818 Bedrijf geregistreerd in Portugal Privacybeleid Algemene Voorwaarden > Neem Contact Op info@voyagesjourneys.com +351 917 800 008

Unieke Avonturen Jacht Expedities Ontdek De Numinous Wie Zijn Wij EN PT NL Home - Unieke Avonturen - Botswana Botswana If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa. - John Hemingway - Gedefinieerd door de Kalahari-woestijn en de Okavango-delta en grotendeels ongerepte leefgebieden van dieren tijdens de seizoensgebonden overstromingen. Botswana is de thuisbasis van de mooiste natuurlijke landschappen en buitengewone dieren in het wild in Afrika. Met één van de laagste bevolkingsdichtheid ter wereld, is Botswana één van de meest toonaangevende luxe safaribestemmingen om getuige te zijn van de Big Five, het biedt elk ingrediënt voor de perfecte klassieke Afrikaanse Safari-ervaring. Dit is een bestemming die uitzonderlijke avonturen biedt voor elke generatie en leeftijd, romantische vakanties voor pasgetrouwden of privékoppels, of gewoon pure safari-enthousiastelingen die op zoek zijn naar de mooiste wilde dieren op het Afrikaanse continent. In Botswana zijn bezoekersaantallen strikt gereguleerd om ervoor te zorgen dat uitgestrekte delen van de beschermde wildernis, die samen 20% van de landmassa van het land uitmaken, in onberispelijke staat blijven. Dit biedt de meest authentieke safari-ervaring en een belofte van echt avontuur. Botswana bestaat voornamelijk uit de harde zoutvlaktes en het weelderige binnenland deltasysteem van de Okavango-rivier. Dit deltasysteem creëert unieke individuele ecosystemen, of concessies, die enkele van de beste natuurvakanties in Afrika mogelijk maken. Ervaar de Okavango vanuit een vogelperspectief per helikopter - één van de beste manieren om dit spectaculaire landschap te ervaren en zorgt voor voldoende natuur- of landschapsfotografie vanuit de lucht. Water is leven in Botswana. Terwijl het vloedwater ebt en stroomt, biedt het onvergetelijke mogelijkheden om de wildernis vanuit een geheel nieuw perspectief te ontdekken. Een unieke ervaring voor de Delta is in de ochtend die wordt doorgebracht met glijden over overstroomde kanalen door mokoro, de boomstamkano die generaties lang wordt gebruikt voor transport in een regio waar veel meer rivieren dan wegen zijn. Ervaar Afrika op zijn meest rauwe en meest opmerkelijke manier, klim naar de top van de 'baobab' voor een onvergetelijke nachtrust in de boomhut van je dromen. Reis af naar de Makgadikgadi Pans, die vol is met ongrijpbare soorten en aan de woestijn aangepaste dieren en de perfecte aanvulling op Botswana ‘s traditioneel wildrijke gebieden, zoals het Khwai Private Reserve en de Okavango Delta. In de parken en reservaten van Botswana vind je bijna alle zoogdiersoorten die in zuidelijk Afrika voorkomen. Enorme olifantenkuddes leven in Chobe National Park en daarbuiten, gezonde troep leeuwen, eenzame luipaarden en slanke cheeta's bewonen een overvloed aan privéreservaten, brutale stokstaartjes verspreiden zich speels in de Makgadikgadi-pannen en kuddes gnoes en zebra's grazen in de graslanden. De bruine hyena is een symbool in de Makgadikgadi. Er zijn nog maar 8000 van deze speciale jagers over in de wereld, en er zijn niet veel andere plaatsen waar je er een zult tegenkomen. Botswana is perfect te combineren met andere bestemmingen op het continent, zoals Namibië, Zuid-Afrika of Zimbabwe, of evenzo spraakmakende strandvakanties zoals de Seychellen.

Home - The Numinous - Why Travel with V&J Why work with a travel specialist like V&J August-2023 “My background was far from being in the travel business. Let stand my knowledge around the industry, and, definitely, I didn’t understand the major value of using a travel specialist. Most of the times I was under the impression that I could do it myself, like most of the travellers. However, I soon came to realize that everyone can incredibly benefit from working with a travel specialist, to really take our travels to the next level when planning a vacation that doesn’t fail to impress.” – Jasper Sigon Even when you are a saturated traveller, these are 6 benefits you will experience travelling with Voyages & Journeys: It needs to be valuable Luxury is not about the price, but about value - what you feel that you have gained from the experience. V&J was created from many personal experiences and one of the main purposes is to create extra value to our Guests. We provide a service that goes beyond anything you have experienced in working with travel advisors. Forget about standing in lines, the stress when a flight is cancelled, or when (often) something happens during the vacation. We take care of every tiny detail to fully optimise your time off, before, during and after your travels, and we bring new life into the concept. For example, we do not provide, as we like to call, “blue screen itineraries” that are not thought for individual needs. We design itineraries completely from the ground up that are fully aligned with your requirements and wishes. By doing this, we can build a trustworthy relationship with our Guests and that is one of the most important factors. Like this, you know exactly who we are and how we operate and while we design your itinerary, we can take every tiny personal detail into consideration, such as travel style, likes, dislikes, peeves, hobbies, etc. Every tiny detail will be fully tailormade for your needs. Traveling with V&J also brings you a lot of little extras, such as our V&J travel box, upgrades to higher room categories (depending on availability), a welcome amenity, VIP treatment, early and late checkout (if available) for very early arriving or late departing flight without having to pay an extra night, among others. Explore with Purpose Besides our passion for travelling and exploring the unknown, our love for learning about other cultures, traditions, and their history is the main reason we founded V&J. Then again, the core of our ethos is that, with every itinerary or high octane levelled adventure we create, we really strive to make a difference. When you travel with V&J you are directly supporting the global eco-systems. How? When we finalize your travel itinerary, we combine the exceptional experiences we have created with local conservation projects, providing a unique insider access and experience about the destination you are visiting, such as, walk on patrols with antipoaching units and K9 units, following wildlife rangers, or visiting wildlife orphanages sanctuaries and rescue centres that protect the wildlife and their environment with their own life. With your visit you are directly supporting a conservation project, and in parallel we take a percentage from our earnings and donate it to that same conservation project. We try to select projects that fit with the theme of your journey – for instance, if you journey by sea, we will try to match it with an ocean conservation project. We create remarkable journeys and private events among the most exceptional destinations, bachelor parties, birthdays, honeymoons, family reunions, a break with friends, or any other adventure. Nevertheless, we never neglect the ethics of travelling, the impact on the local community and environment. Leaving a positive impact with your presence is what we can define as responsible travel. Through the last years we build a unique network of wildlife scientists, veterinarians, rangers, wildlife photographers and conservation projects that are experts in handling wildlife, so that you can interact with them on a way that you have never imagined before, and in a safe manner, creating truly life changing experiences. Optimise your time off Planning the journey you have always dreamed about or just a short weekend break, a special celebration or family reunion can take from 20 up to 100 hours of planning or more. You will always spend a lot of time asking advice or nights and weekends scrolling through reviews wondering if the people who reviewed are even like you at all. Then after you decide which accommodation you are staying; you still need to plan all the details around activities and how to get point to point most efficiently. As seasoned travellers (we have been to more than 70 countries across 6 continents) and as travel specialists we can guaranty you that we do this more efficiently. With the local knowledge and industry partners that are pioneers in their own field we can guarantee a worry-free journey with the comfort and luxury you are used to. You consult an accountant when you need help with your money. A lawyer when you need help with legal issues. Consult a travel specialist to plan your vacation and build your experience portfolio. Service that goes beyond what you are used to When we travel ourselves, whether domestic or international, the one thing we are immeasurably annoyed by is bad service, be it during a transfer, at a cafeteria, in the plane, restaurant, or anywhere else. These days it is hard to find good valuable service for the money you pay. This is an experience we try to prevent during your travels! We spend an average of 10 hours per week on research and development for our products. What does this mean? It means that we do not work with every provider, because we really research each facet of our daily operations with “military precision” and diligence. Each partner we work goes through a process, from an accommodation, yacht, tour providers, to aviation or private airplanes. If something goes wrong during your travels, or not exactly accordingly to plan, we can act directly and ensure that everything is taken care so that you do not have to worry and can focus on what is really needed – enjoy! We can provide this only because of our personal relationship with each partner and reputation of our company. For those who care about the details, relationships are the mostimportant factor. Experiences that will change your perspective Another good reason to travel with V&J is that we are on the cutting edge of the latest global travel trends, and most of the times we even know before its launched or announced to the public. One of our daily routines is to research the upcoming travel trends, such as openings of unique lodges and boutique hotels or extreme remote camps or extraordinary experiences that really provide you an inside access like no other. We are in constant contact with journalists, tourism boards, conservation projects, tour providers, accommodations, yacht owners, builders and brokers and other advisors across the globe. We also travel constantly in search for those, off-the-beaten path destinations, and insider experiences that cannot be found online. We check out the latest and newest ourselves as a kind of “mystery guests”, meaning that there is no previous announcement to the accommodations, tour providers, and others, that a representative of Voyages & Journeys is arriving. Like this, we can experience everything ourselves like a customer and create a clear inventory of what to expect and what to prevent before we put it on the portfolio to provide it to you. We live and breathe travel all day long and have access to proprietary sources of knowledge that you simply cannot find online. Through us, you can also be the first to know about new experiences, like exclusive restaurant experiences, popular sporting events or very rare and unique activities. Risk assessment & emergency response There are so many facets that can go wrong during your travels. Such as: lost luggage, cancelled or delayed flight, bad weather, unlucky accidents, evacuations for any reason and let’s not even mention something like Covid-19. We feel as if it is our responsibility and duty as your travel specialist to prevent and keep these obstacles to a minimum or respond to them without any delay or hesitations, and we take it very personal. We check and take care of every tiny detail, passport expiration dates, needed vaccinations, permits and all the fine print that comes with your itinerary. In 2021, we developed one of the most exceptional bicycle routes to date. It started in the Netherlands and ended in the South of Spain, spread over 2.700 km in 35 days, included more than 20 Michelin-Star restaurants, wine tastings, private excursions, and 32 accommodations that belong to the best in Europe. Two weeks before the start, one of the Guests needed an emergency operation. We postponed and rescheduled everything for 6 weeks later without any detail being difference and without adding any extra cost. We always advise to secure every reservation with a cancelation option. But if something strikes your destination a day before you take off, we will be negotiating on your behalf to minimize your cancellation losses or to see how we can reschedule the entire itinerary to another period. Because we are a trusted partner of Global Rescue, we can also advise the best and most inclusive travel insurance in the world, if a war or a virus breaks out, you have a serious accident on the most remote locations while climbing, diving, etc, we can activate immediately evacuations or medical evacuations on military level around the globe. If an insurance of that level is not needed, we ca assist you to specify which travel insurance coverage you should look for. When you travel with Voyages & Journeys, you are protecting your travel investment. If you want to learn more about the benefits of travelling or working with V&J, we can schedule a video or normal call. Reach out at any time! < Previous Article Next Article >
