Say yes to adventure
with Anita Rani

Overview

2025 is the year to say yes to adventure. That’s what Anita Rani is doing as she joins us for three incredible journeys this year to Iceland, the Arctic and Costa Rica.

Well known to BBC Countryfile viewers, Anita is an award-winning broadcaster. She presents Womans Hour on BBC Radio 4 and is also a bestselling author having published her memoir, The Right Sort of Girl, in 2015 followed by her first novel in 2023.

Anita was made a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador in 2021.

At Discover the World, we’ve been passionately shaking up the travel world since 1984. Pioneering experiences across the globe that take you to the heart of each destination, our itineraries are created by travellers for travellers. We’ll thrilled to be collaborating with Anita in her year of saying yes, which started with an action-packed trip to Iceland in February, a Greenland voyage in summer and a road trip in Costa Rica in November.

Anita Rani x Discover the World

“Discover the World and my own values are very closely aligned which is why I was so delighted to accept this opportunity to  travel to some incredible destinations and really push myself to ‘say yes to adventure’.

I will be straying far away from any sun lounger in order to experience the raw power of nature in many different forms, from volcanic landscapes, glacial lagoons, towering waterfalls and lush rainforests.

I’m also delighted to spread the word about Discover the World’s Education Bursary Fund which is supported by the holidays arm of the business and how it pays, in full, for at least 30 disadvantaged students each year who otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity to travel, to join one of their school trips abroad.

First stop was Iceland, which is fitting as this was the first destination they offered when the company launched over 40 years ago. I can’t wait to share this with you all.”

    Say yes to adventure in… Iceland

    The island’s natural wonders provide a tantalising playground for adventure. Volcanoes, waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, ice caves, lava fields and black-sand beaches burst forth like nowhere else on earth. In winter the aurora may dance overhead and in summer, the midnight sun offers perpetual daylight. Whether donning crampons or your bathing suit, this is an island were thrills comes naturally and the sky’s the limit.

  • Say yes to adventure in… Greenland

    Way beyond your typical summer holiday destination, Greenland is one of the world’s most remote locations. Those with an adventurous spirit are rewarded with scenic grandeur and cultural gems. Soaring peaks meet ice-speckled fjords. Wildflower meadows make way for pristine glaciers. Forget roads. You explore Greenland by ship, on foot or from the air.

  • Say yes to adventure in… Costa Rica

    Whether you’re soaring through the jungle canopy, kayaking through mangroves or eyeballing a red-eyed tree frog on a night hike, adventure is baked in to a Costa Rica holiday. Stay in eco-lodges surrounded by rainforest, meet the locals embracing ‘pura vida’ wherever you go and encounter a kaleidoscope of colour and sounds in this wildlife heaven.
