The Travel Bucket List

Here are a random list of things that you can (and should) try to do or see before you die. The list is far from complete, so just think of this as a list of suggested bucket list activities.

See the Northern Lights

Obviously the further north you go, the better ! Our top tip would be Iceland, where you’ll hopefully get to experience, not only the Northern Lights, but also an amazing landscape. Iceland is more accessible than other Northern Lights destinations, like Norway, Sweden, Greenland, Alaska or Canada, as there are frequent direct flights from Dublin.

Ride in a Hot Air Balloon

There are many places in the world, to experience a ride in a hot air balloon. Over Far North Queensland, the Serengeti, the Loire Valley, the Grand Canyon or Cappadochia in Turkey.

Go Whale Watching

Nothing beats the thrill of seeing one of these majestic whales, breach the water’s surface in front of your very eyes. Places renowned for whale watching include the following: Vancouver Island, Western Cape, Iceland, the Azores and California.
