Where to Travel in June
The Arctic is the best place to travel in June, with perpetual daylight and the chance to see polar bears. Elsewhere, temperatures are rising across Europe, making an early summer getaway appealing.
NORWAY
Marvel at the magnificence of the fjords
In June, the days are delightfully long, and the nights are short in Norway, perfect for extended hikes, weaving through scenery that will captivate you at every turn. The weather is typically clear and warm, showing off the beauty of this region to full effect. Experience the best of it on our Walking the Fjords trip, which takes you from Bergen on sensational valley hikes with the chance to take scenic ferry and train journeys. View all Norway trips here
BOTSWANA
Sunny days and starry nights
The beautiful weather makes Botswana one of the best places to travel in June. During the country’s dry season, there’s less rainfall and the vegetation is sparse, making wildlife easier to spot as they congregate around waterholes. If you’re seeing the Okavango Delta on our two-week Botswana & Zimbabwe Lodge Safari or Wildlife & Wilderness of Botswana trips, the flood waters have arrived this month attracting more animals from the hinterland. And you’ll have the best view on a traditional Mokoro dugout canoe. View all Botswana trips here
BULGARIA
Search for rare orchids in wildflower meadows
With temperatures rising, June is a fantastic month for hiking and outdoor activities in Bulgaria. In the Rodopi Mountains, wildflowers are in bloom, and it’s the best chance to spot some rare orchids as you make your way through coniferous forests and limestone gorges on our Bulgaria: Rodopi Mountains trip. For something exhilarating, search for wild brown bears and record tracks and scats with a brown bear expert on our Bulgaria: Realm of the Brown Bear. View all Bulgaria trips here
THE ARCTIC
Visit when the sun never sets
High summer is the optimum time to visit the Arctic. There’s 24-hour sunlight, the cold temperatures are milder and more bearable than in winter, and the sea ice has diminished enough to explore the region on epic expedition cruises, such as our Introduction to Spitsbergen or Spitsbergen Explore: Wildlife Capital of the Arctic. On these trips, you’re in with a chance of spotting polar bears as they hunt for seals, alongside the opportunity to see puffins and walruses, Arctic foxes and reindeer. View all Arctic trips here
BOSNIA
Immerse yourself in nature
Coined, the “Green Heart of the Balkans”, Bosnia boasts some of the most unspoilt natural sights in Europe. And with June bringing plenty of sunshine and pleasant temperatures, it’s the perfect month for hiking. On our Walking in Bosnia & Herzegovina trip, you’ll hike spectacular sections of the Via Dinarica Trail and summit Maglić, the tallest mountain in Bosnia. While our Bosnia and Beyond itinerary takes you to the traditional villages of Lukomir and on picturesque treks near the Rakitnica Canyon. View all Bosnia trips here
