Honeyguide holiday calendar
There is no Honeyguide brochure for 2021 on account of the coronavirus pandemic, which both limits overseas travel and adds uncertainties that make planning difficult: a brochure is likely to be out of date very quickly. The same may be true for 2022.
Holidays and UK breaks will instead be promoted through this website. Keep an eye out for updates; the rest of this page gives a guide to plans for coming months.
Weekly Honeyguide walks are running in Norfolk, with information emailed to Honeyguiders and a few others in this area. Highlights of walks to date are on the Honeyguide blog. Please ask if you'd like to be added to the circulation list.
There will be a small programme of walks in north Essex and south Suffolk in July and August led by Honeyguide's Chris Gibson. Please contact us if you'd like details or to be added to the circulation list.
Below you can see our holiday calendar in one place, check availability and click through to our holiday pages. For prices, look under the 'holiday details' for each holiday. For general booking information, click here. Last updated June 2021.
UK breaks and holidays
Three UK breaks were initially set up for autumn 2020, now providing frameworks for breaks in May/June 2021. More breaks like these can be organised if we know there is interest. A Norfolk break in the second half of June, anyone?
Norfolk break with Chris Durdin 17-21 May 2021 (successfully completed)
North Norfolk with Rob Lucking 17-21 May 2021 (successfully completed)
Wild Essex with Chris Gibson 24–28 May 2021 (successfully completed)
Norfolk break with Chris Durdin 31 May - 3 June 2021 (successfully completed)
The Lizard, Cornwall, with David Collins 27 September – 4 October 2021 (three places available).
We plan more of the above this autumn, 2021: if you'd like to come sooner, please say.
2021
The return of international travel remains uncertain, and may be to a limited range of countries. Many overseas holidays previously planned are now carried forward to 2022.
Expressions of interest in holidays are very welcome, including for those listed for autumn 2021, though we are not yet taking formal bookings for any of these until we are certain travel overseas is possible.
Links in this section may be to holiday pages yet to be updated.

Below are links to friends and partners overseas, namely Geoff Crane in South Africa and Pau Lucio in Spain. We have run many holidays with both Geoff and Pau and they also run their own holidays. These links were on the Honeyguide 'home page' but they are here for now while the Foreign Office is discouraging non-essential travel to South Africa and Spain.

Brochures
The Honeyguide brochure for 2020 was sent out in September 2019. If you'd like another copy or are not on the mailing list and would like a brochure, please contact us. In the column on the right you can also view a PDF of the brochure for 2020.
To download a PDF of the Honeyguide Wildlife Holidays brochure for 2020, click on the picture of the cover below.
The brochure for 2019 and previous years are here.
Group holidays / archive
Additional group holidays or UK breaks (subject to the indoor 'rule of six') can be arranged.
Destinations from previous years we keep on the website in the archive section.
They may be available for group bookings and others may return in a future programme – especially if we receive requests for them.

Gullivers Natural History Holidays
For two years, 2009 and 2010, we sent Honeyguide brochures to those on the former Gullivers mailing list. We continue to do so to those who have been in touch and are now on the main Honeyguide mailing list.
If you were with Gullivers, aren't getting the Honeyguide brochure but would like to, please contact us.
