From feeling the heat at fire festivals to free-falling from a plane at 15,000 feet, we bring you our Chasing the Elements issue featuring 41 of the best travel experiences involving air, earth, fire and water. We also visit India’s sacred city of Varanasi to witness cremations on the holy Ganges and experience the beauty of a South African safari. Also don’t miss our US special exploring how music city Nashville is singing a new song, and a female perspective from Washington, Salem and beyond.

From astrotourism to coolcationing, we bring you 31 essential travel trends to try this year. Whether you fancy watching the world go by on a new around-the-world luxury train trip or using your own steam to pedal the soon-to-open Trans Dinarica biking route linking all eight countries of the Balkans, there is something for every travel taste. We also take you to the untamed beauty of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, road-tripping in India with Andrew Daddo, volcano chasing in Vanuatu, and so much more.

From trekking some of the world’s highest peaks, rafting rough rivers or simply kayaking tranquil fjords, we have it covered in this, our Adventure Issue. In a nod to our 40th anniversary year, we are bringing you 40 Best Adventures that are sure to bring a bit of adrenaline to your wanderlust. We also have 23 pages of cruising, from the tropics to icy glaciers. And we take you to Turkey, uncover the many delights of Memphis, go road-tripping on the Great Ocean Road, and much more.

In this bumper 40th Anniversary issue, we present a trio of ‘40 Best’ features: 40 Best Experiences, 40 Best Stays and 40 Best Destinations, along with feature stories on Bosnia, Mauritius, French Polynesia, Fiji, Indonesia, and Antarctica. We are also proud to welcome Bruce Poon Tip to the Vacations team with his first column. They say life begins at 40, and as the longest-running travel magazine in Australia, we hope the pages of Vacations & Travel magazine will continue to inspire you.

Take off on an unhurried adventure with Vacations & Travel. In this issue, we inspire you with some of the world’s most incredible slow-travel experiences. From rafting in Canada and cycling in Tasmania to riding the railways of Switzerland, our storytellers will entice you to take your own immersive journeys at a pace that allows you to take it all in. We explore Japan, Bhutan, the Kimberley and Palm Springs, encounter gorillas in Rwanda, and share some of the best river cruises in Europe.

Get set for adventure with the Wild Issue of Vacations & Travel. This edition, we take you to extraordinary locations to get out of your comfort zone, perhaps boarding down volcanoes, swimming with manta rays, walking with wolves and giant crabs, flying over prehistoric landscapes, hiking to the ends of the Earth… and checking in to some seriously ‘out there’ accommodation.

This issue celebrates the return of travel, where you can explore the great outdoors, watch wildlife and take time to breathe. We visit destinations dedicated to boosting happy hormones, whether you’re on land, in the air, or on water. We journey high in the Indian Himalayas; cruise remote Bissagos islands and soar over Tasmania’s wild terrain in a helicopter.

It’s time to reignite your travel wanderlust with our first edition of Vacations & Travel for 2022, The Inspiration Issue. Discover
22 fresh experiences to try across Australia, journey through three American states, hunt for kitsch in Georgia and explore the marine world of Rowley Shoals. Plus, we uncover some of our favourite Aussie isles: Lord Howe, Norfolk and Cocos (Keeling).

This issue of Vacations & Travel is dedicated to new horizons, whether that’s the remote gorges of Karijini National Park on a hike through Western Australia, or a wildlife-spotting expedition across the African isle of Madagascar. We sail around the world with an Olympian, ski America’s top resorts, and eat our way through Griffith and Bendigo.
