Honeyguide holiday calendar
There will not be a 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which both limits overseas travel and adds uncertainties that make planning difficult: a brochure is likely to be out of date very quickly.
Holidays and UK breaks will instead be promoted through this website. Keep an eye out in the autumn for updates; the rest of this page gives a guide to plans for the coming months.

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. Last updated October 2020.

2021
We are taking names of those interested in the early season Portugal in Winter holiday. Bookings can wait until we know that travel to Portugal is possible.
Expressions of interest in other holidays are very welcome, though we are not yet taking formal bookings in case the coronavirus epidemic leads to any changes in plans. Other overseas holidays e.g. for autumn 2021 will be planned later.
If travel overseas remains difficult, we expect to run more holidays/breaks in the UK in 2021.

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 FCO is discouraging non-essential travel to South Africa and Spain.

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.
