Cultural Experience Vacations

Want to return from your vacation with a host of stories that keep friends and family awe-struck, inspired and a little bit jealous? Then you need to truly ‘live’ your destination with Lightfoot Travel’s luxury culture vacations. Endless tell-them-again travel stories come from immersing yourself in a new environment, practicing the customs, being excited by going off the beaten track (and away from the usual, obvious travel itineraries) and doing as the locals do.

Discover 2,500 years of Buddhist history and architecture in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, which includes several World Heritage listed sacred sites and ancient cities. Explore Japan’s shrines, temples, manicured gardens and Buddhist monasteries that come with traditions that stretch back thousands of years, but now live alongside a world that is mind-blowingly modern. Further afield, visit rural villages on pretty Inle Lake and soak up the history and daily life of the locals.

Of course, cultural trips also make exciting family vacations. Our Travel Designers can pull together fun educational itineraries that will encourage younger explorers to get out of the swimming pool and to try something different instead. Some of the family-friendly cultural experiences include a rice planting tour in Laos, painting workshops in Bali or an SUP paddle to a traditional Peruvian village.
