RETIRED HAIRDRESSER TO GLOBAL TRAVELLER
Suzanne travelled a lot in her early 20s. But as the story so often she goes, she got married and had children, so the travelling stopped. Fast forward 40 years, Suzanne received an inheritance from her mother and has been spending it on travel ever since.
SOUTH AMERICAN TRAVEL EXPERIENCE
Greg and Jane have travelled the world together.
Now retired, they have always planned and booked their own adventures. Greg books the flights, trains, cars and creates the entire itinerary for their holidays.
RETIRED GRANDPARENTS' CUBAN ADVENTURE
Ron and Chris are retired grandparents, making the most of their retirement by travelling the world. When a couple who they had previously travelled with asked if they were interested in a trip to Cuba, their interest was immediately piqued.

We stick to the places we know well and are very fortunate to have travelled to most of our destinations. This way we can provide expert advice and first-hand knowledge to help plan your trip.
PATAGONIA
Patagonia, quite simply, will take your breath away. Nestled neatly in amongst the Pacific, Atlantic and Southern Oceans, Patagonia straddles the Southern Andes of Chile and Argentina.
ANTARCTICA
Welcome to the magical world of Antarctica – a breathtaking banquet of wilderness and wildlife. Get ready to immerse yourself in the icy walls of place unlike anywhere else on earth.
CANADA
A vast and varied country, Canada is a feast for all travellers, and given its history of exploration, it really is no surprise. You can discover hidden corners even amongst the postcard favourites.
THE ARCTIC
This is the Arctic, warmer than Antarctica, and polar bears replace penguins. Where a giant sheet of ice links three continents and wildlife freely roams, swims and flies across them.
SOUTH AMERICA
South America is a fantastic feast for travellers, offering diverse and beautiful ingredients that will delight your ‘travel buds’. Natural beauty is found everywhere.
INDIA
India is constantly alive, with festivals, bustling bazaars and stunning scenery. With the intoxicating blend of colours, smells, sounds and tastes, India will leave an impression like no other.

Testimonials
Kristen BlundyStanding on the bow as we glided through the serenely beautiful, and calm Lemaire Channel on a perfect, sun filled day, was the realisation of my travel dreams.
To be there, amongst the ice, surrounded by soaring peaks and passing wildlife, was the experience I had been hoping for, but even I didn’t dare to dream it would be that amazing.
The ‘Kodak Gap’ lived up to its name and gave me wonderful memories and photos to treasure forever.
I dreamed, we planned, you excelled.
Thank you so much! K Blundy Antarctica, Arctic, South Georgia.
Testimonials
Stacey & ChrisHi Rose, Would just like to thank you for the help you gave us with our trip to South America.
We had a great time and all the local operators that assisted us were very helpful and professional. It’s hard to pick standouts but the train from Cusco to Puno was amazing as were the treks out of El Chalten (probably as the weather was perfect).
The hotels were just what we after, even the slightly eccentric Las Piedras in El Chalten.
Had all sorts of weather on the W walk but a couple of reasonable days. Have some great photos and even better memories, so all our mates are keen to go now.
Testimonials
RakheeI wanted to visit Antarctica but I had no idea about how I would do that!
When I talked to Forward Travel I was so blown away with the information I was getting.
It was first hand, not like going through a brochure…
I could live through the experiences they had already lived through.
They helped me to live my dreams…
It was much more than I had ever anticipated.
It was a surreal experience and I am so grateful.
Testimonials
A & W RooneyWe had been looking for a reputable travel company for a while to arrange our family trip to Norway, and we were struggling to find somebody that could talk to us about Norway with confidence.
Finally a friend recommended that we give Forward Travel a call, and after speaking with David there, there was an immediate sense of relief to finally be speaking to somebody that knew what they were talking about.
Norway was our first trip through Forward Travel, and I know who our future trips will be arranged through.
Well done you guys at Forward, exceptional work.
