The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
A private, chauffeur-guided day sweeping through the dramatic peaks of Snowdonia National Park before arriving at Caernarfon's mighty UNESCO-listed castle — Wales at its most epic, entirely on your schedule.
Stand at the very tip of Holy Island as Atlantic puffins, razorbills and choughs wheel around the dramatic 91-metre cliffs of South Stack — one of Britain's most spectacular wildlife spectacles, minutes from the port.
Led by a qualified local mountain guide, this small-group day takes you deep into Snowdonia's ancient landscapes — off the beaten path, into the valleys and ridges that tour coaches never reach.
Discover Portmeirion, the extraordinary private Italianate village built by architect Clough Williams-Ellis between 1925 and 1975 — a pastel-hued fantasy of campaniles, piazzas and subtropical gardens on a private peninsula.
Circle the entire Isle of Anglesey — the 'Mother of Wales' — in a private vehicle with a local expert, taking in prehistoric burial chambers, hidden beaches, the Menai suspension bridge and charming fishing villages on a tailor-made journey.
Descend into the Victorian underworld of Llechwedd Slate Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog — Wales's most dramatic industrial heritage experience, where lantern-lit tunnels and thundering underground lakes tell the story of the men who roofed the world.
