Time flies – and suddenly it’s 2027. So, if you’re dreaming of travelling in 2027, it’s already a good idea to start planning.
But where should the tour take you?
We asked our experienced travel experts, who have selected 10 destinations guaranteed to offer unforgettable experiences in 2027.
South Korea
South Korea has been on our radar for a long time – and in 2026, the country finally became one of our destinations. Would you like to experience one of Asia’s most fascinating destinations, which still stands somewhat in the shadow of neighbouring Japan’s enormous popularity? Then 2027 is the year to go.
With charming cities, historic attractions, lush nature, and a rich culinary culture, South Korea is a country that welcomes all kinds of travellers.
Explore the lively capital, Seoul, where futuristic skyscrapers and modern shopping districts stand side by side with ancient royal palaces and traditional hanok houses. The port city of Busan beckons with a vibrant city atmosphere, colourful neighbourhoods, authentic markets, and stunning beaches.
Delve into South Korea’s past in the historic city of Gyeongju, where burial mounds, temples, and ruins tell the story of the Silla dynasty. Or visit the demilitarised zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea, where the surrounding nature stands in stark contrast to the dramatic history that led to the area’s creation.
Will you be joining the South Korea wave before it really takes off?
Argentina
Argentina is a country that impresses time and time again, and looking ahead to 2027, we’ve given our tours a makeover, creating polished itineraries packed with experiences stretching from north to south across this 3,800-kilometre-long country. Would you like to experience this magical destination in 2027?
Argentina offers an abundance of diverse natural experiences. For example, you can marvel at the mighty glaciers in Los Glaciares National Park or feel the power of nature at Iguazú, one of the world’s largest waterfalls.
Argentina delights not only with its landscapes, but also with its atmospheric cities. Explore Buenos Aires, where beautiful architecture, seductive tango rhythms, and a vibrant football fever await, or visit Ushuaia, one of the world’s southernmost cities, known as “the end of the world”. Here, you can experience remarkable wildlife, including sea lions, seabirds, whales, and penguins.
If you can’t get enough of Latin America, you can combine Argentina with a tour to Chile, where you can explore, among other things, the colourful neighbourhoods of the capital, Santiago de Chile, and enjoy the natural beauty of Torres del Paine National Park, which captivates visitors with its turquoise lakes, rushing waterfalls and fascinating rocky landscapes.
Kenya
Kenya is a safari classic, with an incredibly diverse range of wildlife, tropical beaches, and vibrant city life – a combination that has helped make the country one of our most popular destinations. In 2027, there will be even more opportunities to experience Kenya’s many different sides. Perhaps a safari in Kenya in 2027 should be on your wish list?
Spectacular wildlife and natural experiences await you in Kenya’s National Parks. For example, you can experience the endless savannah of the Maasai Mara, see red-dusted elephants in Tsavo East, or look out for the distinctive Big Five in Samburu. If you would like to see the savannah from a different perspective, you can take a hot-air-balloon safari in Amboseli, with Kilimanjaro as your backdrop.
Kenya’s cities offer an insight into another side of the country. In the capital, Nairobi, you’ll find Nairobi National Park, the Karen Blixen Museum, and the colourful Maasai Market, while the port city of Mombasa offers a vivid glimpse into its colonial past at Fort Jesus.
In need of a break after so many unforgettable experiences? Round off your tour with an atmospheric beach holiday on the Indian Ocean, where Diani Beach and Malindi Beach invite you to relax in tropical surroundings.
New Zealand
New Zealand is a country filled with spectacular scenery, atmospheric cities, and strong traditions. Experience it on a classic road trip or, as many of our guests prefer, on an individual tour, where transport and included excursions take place in small international groups with a guide. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the tour.
One of New Zealand’s greatest highlights is undoubtedly its natural beauty, which enchants visitors with active volcanoes, thundering waterfalls, lush rainforests, mighty glaciers, and dramatic mountain landscapes. These include the fjords and waterfalls of Milford Sound, Franz Josef Glacier, and the alpine scenery surrounding New Zealand’s highest mountain, Mount Cook/Aoraki. And who knows? You may even be lucky enough to spot the little kiwi – the country’s national symbol.
Nature is just one of the many experiences awaiting you in New Zealand.
Immerse yourself in authentic Māori culture in Rotorua, try your hand at bungee jumping and other extreme sports in Queenstown, and visit the iconic ‘Hobbiton Movie Set’, where the world-famous Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films were shot!
Vietnam
Vietnam is one of our most popular destinations, and by 2027, we will have expanded our range to 25 different tours, showing that Vietnam is so much more than the classic north-to-south tours. So, whatever interests you most – whether it’s nature, city life, history, or beaches – you’ll find it in Vietnam.
Dreaming of enjoying plenty of scenic experiences away from the most well-trodden tourist trails?
Watch rice terraces and mountain landscapes unfold in Pu Luong in northern Vietnam. If you’d like to see the impressive landscapes of Ha Long Bay without so many other visitors, several of our tours now also include the chance to experience Lan Ha Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay. And in southern Vietnam, you can gain an insight into local life with a visit to our social sustainability project in Vinh Long in the Mekong Delta.
On our most family-friendly tours, we’ve made sure you can experience some of Vietnam’s greatest attractions in Hanoi and Ninh Binh, followed by relaxing days on the beach on Phu Quoc or in Hoi An – all at a pace that makes it easy for everyone, young and old, to join in.
Vietnam can be combined with several other destinations in Southeast Asia, for example Cambodia, where you can visit the world-famous Angkor Wat temple, get close to the culture of the capital, Phnom Penh, and enjoy an idyllic beach holiday on Koh Rong Samliem. You can also combine it with atmospheric Luang Prabang in Laos, city experiences in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, or culture in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.
Canada
Canada was on our list last year too, but it’s hard to leave out one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, so of course Canada has to feature on our list for 2027 as well!
Dreaming of the ultimate road trip? You certainly won’t be disappointed when you visit Canada. With its impressive landscapes, fascinating wildlife, and charming towns, Canada is a fantastic self-drive destination, offering spectacular experiences from west to east.
If your tour takes you to western Canada, you can look forward to exceptional scenery in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, iconic wildlife in the national parks and along the coast, as well as historic gold-rush towns. If, on the other hand, eastern Canada is to provide the setting for your adventure, you can look forward to vibrant cities, unspoilt wilderness, and one of the world’s most famous waterfalls.
Would you like to experience Canada’s greatest highlights without having to drive yourself? Then we have tours for you too. We recently added, for example, the tour ‘The Canadian Rockies & Vancouver Island’ – a classic tour that takes you to national parks and charming towns in western Canada, without you having to get behind the wheel.
Japan
Interest in Japan is greater than ever, so in 2026, we expanded our programme with several new tours there, giving you the opportunity to experience even more of this fascinating East Asian country.
Wherever you travel in Japan, you can look forward to experiencing the truly unique contrast between history and modernity.
Kyoto, which in many ways represents classic Japan, is home to red temples and historic castles. It is no coincidence that the city is often known as the cultural heart of Japan.
The Japanese Alps are home to atmospheric villages such as Shirakawa-Go, known for its distinctive gassho-zukuri houses with steep thatched roofs, as well as mountain landscapes that, at just the right times of year, can change colour from pale pink to orangey brown.
A tour to Japan is not complete without a visit to the capital, Tokyo, where colourful neon signs, lively shopping streets, and towering skyscrapers give the city a truly unique energy. Although it is one of the world’s largest cities, you will be amazed by the sense of order here. Everything is clean and tidy, and people queue up – in some places, even to cross at a junction.
Complement your adventure with countless delicious Japanese dishes that will leave anyone who has ever been to Japan longing to return.
Madagascar
Madagascar has really got under our skin, which is why it deserves a place on the list again this year. With its unique wildlife, diverse landscapes, and rich history, it is a destination that is bound to leave a lasting impression on most travellers.
In Madagascar, you can enjoy safari experiences that are anything but ordinary. As the island nation lies isolated in the Indian Ocean, its wildlife has been able to evolve undisturbed, which means that 90% of its species are found nowhere else in the world. So, on a safari in Madagascar, you won’t encounter classic safari animals such as lions, zebras, and elephants. Instead, you can discover more than 100 different species of lemur, as well as chameleons and fascinating birds.
The landscapes of Madagascar are every bit as magical – from rainforests and dramatic sandstone formations to iconic baobab trees and countless white sandy beaches, perfect for relaxing days by the sea.
Alongside its extraordinary natural and wildlife experiences, the country also has a fascinating history shaped by kings and, not least, queens. You’ll gain a vivid insight into this history when, among other things, you visit the ‘Queen’s Palace’ in the capital, Antananarivo.
Costa Rica
With its exceptional natural beauty and wildlife, Costa Rica is a classic that never goes out of fashion. And now, you can also combine Costa Rica with Panama with TourCompass. Could 2027 be the year you discover what makes this gem one of our most popular destinations?
Despite its modest size, Costa Rica boasts unique biodiversity. You can experience it in Costa Rica’s many National Parks, which cover more than 25% of the country’s total area. Here, you’ll find misty cloud forests, active volcanoes, thundering waterfalls, and abundant wildlife, including monkeys, sloths, and colourful birds.
In need of a slower pace? Enjoy a relaxing beach holiday on one of Costa Rica’s beaches, where swaying palm trees, golden sands, and the Costa Rican philosophy of “pura vida” – enjoying life – await.
If you choose to combine your tour to Costa Rica with Panama, you can look forward to experiencing Panama City, the country’s capital. Here, you’ll find a modern city lifestyle, fascinating colonial history, and, of course, the iconic Panama Canal, which serves as a maritime motorway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Australia
Australia lies on the other side of the world, so it isn’t exactly the obvious weekend destination. But if 2027 is going to be the year of the adventure of a lifetime, this country is hard to overlook!
In Australia, you can experience iconic cities, each enchanting visitors with its own unique range of experiences. Sydney boasts one of the most beautiful settings in the world, Melbourne is laid-back and brimming with culture, and Brisbane has a charm all of its own.
Australia is also home to some of the world’s greatest natural wonders. Here, you can, for example, explore the marine life of the world’s largest coral reef, the Great Barrier Reef, visit the world’s largest sand island, K’gari, and watch the sun set over Uluru, one of the world’s largest monoliths.
Australia is also perfect for anyone dreaming of experiencing a different kind of wildlife, including kangaroos, koalas, and majestic whales along the coast.
You can choose between a self-drive tour, where you take the wheel and can help set the pace of your tour, or a classic tour, where you can sit back and let yourself be transported from A to B.
Would you like to explore the world in 2027?
The world is packed with incredible destinations, where unforgettable wildlife encounters, magnificent natural experiences, fascinating cultural heritage, and tropical beaches await.
