What's Hot - Steppes Travel

It’s time to start planning your next adventure and we couldn’t be more excited to help you make the most of this year.

What’s Hot is your gateway to discovering the destinations and experiences shaping the world of travel. From untamed wilderness and cultural treasures to tailor made once-in-a-lifetime journeys, this is where you’ll find the inspiration to discover extraordinary.

Around the world in 80 ways

Here are some of the top experiences we think you’ll want to try.

Chile

Chile – Paws for thought

Torres del Paine is home to one of the largest puma populations in the world, with the Laguna Amarga region being where sightings are most prolific. Accompanied by an expert guide, hike through Patagonia’s wilderness, learning to read the signs that a puma is nearby. Visit Estancia Cerro Guido, where ongoing research and camera traps help track these elusive predators. Nothing will get the adrenaline pumping through your veins faster than your first spot of a wild puma.

El Salvador

El Salvador – Turtle rodeo

Join ProCosta, an inspiring, female-led organisation in El Salvador, spearheading conservation of the hawksbill turtles in Jiquilisco Bay. Work alongside experts to catch, measure, weigh and tag turtles. Since 2008, the programme has tagged 500 nesting females and 400 juveniles. This hands on experience allows you to play a vital role in conservation efforts, making a real impact whilst connecting unforgettably with the natural world.

Norway

Norway – A stroll in the midnight sun

From late May to mid-July, the sun never dips below the horizon in Lofoten, creating endless daylight. Midnight sun hikes offer an unmatched experience. The Offersoykammen hike is short and accessible, yet rewards you with panoramic views of the archipelago. Elk, fox and stoat often make an appearance on mountain walks, with seals and otters adorning the coast. Look skyward for soaring white-tailed eagles.

St Helena

St Helena – Ramble in the Remote

Explore the volcanic island of St Helena on foot, following rugged coastal paths. Pass landmarks that whisper of Napoleon’s exile and end your journey with sundowners in the harbour, on a secluded beach, or cliff-top vantage point. St Helena’s ‘Post Box Walks’ will satisfy both the casual walker and intrepid hiker. This series of trails showcases the island’s diversity. Could you complete them all?

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan – Journey into Space

Kazakhstan has been a leader in space exploration since the 1950s, with Baikonur Cosmodrome at its centre. Once a secret missile test site, it became the Soviet space programme HQ and remains the world’s first, largest and most successful space launch facility. Visitors require advance permits for guided tours, some of which include witnessing stages of launch preparations. Baikonur hosts nine launch complexes, 34 engineering facilities and a space museum.

French Polynesia

French Polynesia – Submersible Scooting

This isn’t an experience you’d be quick to forget. Explore Bora Bora Lagoon on a two-seater electric submersible scooter. Effortlessly move underwater, spotting brightly coloured tropical fish with an experienced dive guide, breathing normally inside a glass bubble helmet. Each scooter has easy-to-use pedals and a steering wheel, making it simple for anyone to drive.
