May Departures

Late getaways departing in May

Some say that the shoulder months of May and September are some of the best months to travel. Why? Because of the mild pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds and meadows in full bloom in Europe and selected destinations further afield. So why not enjoy the last couple of weeks of spring with a last-minute holiday before the crowds start trickling in on the lead-up to the height of summer? 

Situated on the coast of Liguria, south of the Alps, Cinque Terre is generally sheltered from harsh weather conditions and in May, you’ll enjoy mild, sunny days with the odd light showers on our Walks of Cinque Terre and Portofino. May is also a great time to see the streets lined with bougainvillea and budding grapevines, while the hiking trails are scattered with vibrant wildflowers. 

If you’re looking to travel further afield, May is a great time to try out our Discover South Korea. With the cherry blossom crowds long gone and the summer holidays yet to arrive, this slice of time in May offers a great opportunity to explore Seoraksan National Park and the Gukje Market in Busan without many people around. May is also a surprisingly great month to see orangutans in the wild, on our Borneo Wildlife Discoverer. This is because the rains start to ease off in April, and hungry apes can be easily spotted scouring the canopy for ripe fruit. This month boasts sunny days and minimal rainfall, offering the perfect conditions for trekking through Mount Kinabalu National Park and the Danum Valley. 

Or why not challenge yourself with our action-packed Cycle the Balkans trip, which takes you through lakeside towns and National Parks across Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia in just 15 days. You’ll find May is one of the most pleasant months for cycling as there’s little rainfall and temperatures are lovely and mild. 

If this has inspired you to book a last-minute getaway this May, take a look at our selection of adventures below.
