Best Places To Travel In April

April 2022 is looking like a pretty sexy month to go travelling, we've got not one but TWO bank hols here in the UK and the world is opening up (FINALLY). Our Philippines tours are back up and running after 2 long years and we're BUZZIN' about it. We wanna catch flights ASAP to allll the destinations but if you wanna know our top picks for April, then look no further! We got you! Keep on reading so you can get planning the most epic adventure of your life. Here are the best places for your travels in April!

1. Cambodia

The best time to visit Cambodia is between November and April, so we'd definitely take advantage and book a trip to Cambodia for April if we were you!! April in Cambodia is dry, hot and has gorgeous blue skies so its the perfect time to visit all of Cambodia's hotspots like Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and our favourite - Koh Rong Samloem! Yep, March is pretty dreamy on Cambodia's Southern coast, so what're you waiting for?! From beautiful white sand beaches, to bustling and lively market town of Kampot, to the historically fascinating (albeit sad) Phnom Pehn and the stunning cultural hub of Siem Reap (you MUST have seen the unbelievable pics of sunrise at Angkor Wat!!), Cambodia has it all. In just 10 days, you'll soak in the sun on idyllic beaches, learn about Cambodia's extremely sad history at the Khmer Killing Fields & S21 in Phnom Penh, drunkingly party all night at world-famous Pub Street in Siem Reap, then the next day stare in awe at the sun as it rises over the temples of Angkor Wat and unlease your inner child at the Arcadia Waterpark in Kampot. We told you Cambodia was THE place to go in 2022... if you're not on skyscanner looking at the first flight to Siem Reap then what are you doing?!

2. Philippines

Picture this... you're swimming in clear, turquoise water, jumping off the side of your paraw (that's the traditional Filipino boat btw) and then go to an idyllic white-sand beach to sunbathe. Paradise right? The Philippines is a DREAM and just like Cambodia, The Philippines dry season is between November and April, so April is the ideal time to visit this lil' slice of heaven. Being the dry season, it means that all of this country's stunning islands are fully accessible and so there's no need to cross any wavey seas! AND with The Philippines opening up and our tours running out there again from April, there's no better time to visit the stunning island of Palawan, where you'll explore the stunning blue lagoons of El Nido, snorkel your way through shipwrecks in Coron and island hop around Port Barton. Well look no further, we do all this amazing stuff on our Philippines West tour. If beach clubs and canyoneering your way through stunning pastel blue waterfalls is more your thing then not to worry, our Philippines East tour hits The Philippines best spots in the East. Hit up all the best beach clubs, sunbathe on stunning white-sand beaches and island hop your way around Boracay, experience a natural phenomenon - the Sardine Run - and snorkel with turtles in Moalboal (hello David Attenborough) and canyon down stunning tiers of the insta famous Erawan waterfalls. If you wanna experience ALL of the amazing things that this beautiful country has to offer then we combine both the East and the West on our Philippines Island Hopper tour... go big or go home right?!

3. Sri Lanka

The beaches to Sri Lanka's southwest and the cultural triangle are getting plenty of sunshine and it is HOT HOT so the sea and the shadows of the temples will be hella refreshing. Minimal rainfall, blue skies and glorious sunshine means that Sri Lanka is an absolute must for April. Whattta country... travellers can discover impressive temples, hike to amazing viewpoints such as Sigiriya rock and Little Adam's peak, explore tea plantations and master Sri Lankan cuisine with a traditional cooking class. Last but CERTAINLY not least, one of our FAVOURITE things to do in Sri Lanka is obv the SAFARI! Sri Lanka is full of natural beauty and with that comes an abundance of wildlife! Head into the Sri Lankan jungle in Unawatuna and catch a glimpse of elephants, monkeys, buffalos, and so much more!! So get yourselves to Sri Lanka in April 2022 for Tru-ly life-changing, bucket list trip!
