- Where to Travel in February
February brings two contrasting adventures for travelers. In Finland, the heart of winter creates an ideal setting for watching the Northern Lights dance across clear, starry skies. Meanwhile, New Zealand enjoys its warm, dry summer, offering pristine conditions for hiking through its stunning mountains, coastlines, and national parks.
NICARAGUA & PANAMA
Best for boat trips and snorkelling
February falls right in the heart of the dry season in Nicaragua and Panama, which brings plenty of sunny, balmy days hitting around 86-95°F. On our Cycle Nicaragua, Costa Rica & Panama trip, you’ll have refreshing opportunities to cool off with a safari float along the wildlife-rich Tenorio River or a swim in Playa Marsella on the Pacific side of Nicaragua. In Panama, end your days on the bike with breezy boat trips and snorkelling excursions around the beautiful Bocas del Toro islands. View our Nicaragua and Panama tour here
CUBA
Enjoy some winter sun in Havana
While Cuba enjoys a tropical climate year-round, February falls outside hurricane season and brings mild temperatures and reliably dry, sunny days. It’s perfect for cycling through fragrant mango groves and endless sugarcane fields, or enjoying Trinidad and Havana on guided walking tours. If you’re feeling inspired, our Cycling Cuba and Taste of Cuba trips offer the perfect introduction to Cuba. View all our Cuba trips here
FINLAND
Spot the Aurora Borealis in Lapland
One of the best places to travel to in February is Finland. Late winter brings shorter days and dark crisp nights, perfect for seeking out the Northern Lights. Fewer crowds result in less light pollution, enhancing your chances of witnessing this mesmerizing display. Luckily, our adventures are packed with exciting winter activities like dogsledding, cross-country skiing snowmobiling and more on our Finnish Wilderness Week, Snowshoeing in Finland and Finland Family Winter Adventure.

COLOMBIA
Celebrate in the streets of Cartagena
In Colombia, temperatures are influenced more by altitude than by season, so on our Best of Colombia trip, you can look forward to balmy days of up to 91F in coastal cities like Cartagena and Santa Clara and highs of 73°F in Medellín. Events like the Cartagena Carnival usually occur in February, where colorful parades fill the streets for 11 days, marking the countdown to Semana Santa. The weather is perfect for coffee plantation tours on our Colombia: Culture, Coffee & Caribbean adventure. View all our Colombia tours here
NEW ZEALAND
Admire New Zealand’s mighty waterfalls
February in New Zealand is a warm and generally dry month, when temperatures range from 71-86°F. Waterfalls in the Milford Sound are particularly impressive this time of year, due to rainfall in December and January. On our Trails of New Zealand trip, you’ll explore the spectacular Mount Cook National Park as it stuns in an abundance of flora. Our Trekking in New Zealand takes you to the Rob Roy Glacier in Mount Aspiring National Park, where the native beach forests are vividly green. View all our New Zealand tours here
