Planning a big trip for next year? You’re not the only one — and there’s never been a better time to start. At Water By Nature, we’re seeing more guests than ever securing their next adventure well in advance. Not just to get their pick of dates and destinations, but to give themselves something incredible to look forward to.

Here’s why booking early isn’t just smart, it’s soul-nourishing.

1. The Best Trips Fill First

Some of our most iconic adventures, like the New Zealand River Rafting Road Trip & MultiActive New Zealand in February, or French Polynesia sailing in August — are intimate by design. We keep groups small so you can connect deeply with your environment, your guides, and each other. But that also means spots disappear fast.

Booking early means you’re not choosing from what’s left — you’re choosing from the best.

2. You Give Yourself Time to Savour the Build-Up

There’s real joy in having an adventure on the horizon. From choosing your gear to imagining the rivers, sunsets, and shared stories, the build-up becomes part of the journey itself.

And when you book early with Water By Nature, you don’t just get a confirmation email — you get access to your personalised Vamoos app. It shows your itinerary, maps, weather, and packing lists — all in one place and available offline.

No endless email digging. No planning stress. Just the freedom to dream, explore, and get excited — anytime, anywhere.

3. You Get Personalised Advice (and More Access to Hamish!)

Our guests often say one of their favourite parts of booking with Water By Nature is the personal touch. When you plan ahead, we can take the time to talk through your trip, tailor extensions, and even match you with departures led by specific guides or hosts.

Sometimes you’ll even be travelling with Hamish himself (especially in Morocco, The Zambezi, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, or Croatia).

4. More Time = More Flexibility

Want to pay in instalments? Extend your time in-country? Coordinate with friends or family? When you’ve got the time, you’ve got the options.

We’re always happy to help shape your trip around what works for you. And the earlier we start, the smoother that process becomes.

5. You’ll Travel with Intention — Not Impulse

Our adventures are more than holidays. They’re journeys into wild places, new friendships, local cultures, and personal challenges.

Booking early isn’t about locking yourself in — it’s about setting an intention to do something unforgettable.

Because let’s face it: we all spend too much time waiting for “someday.”
Why not make that someday February next year? Or August. Or October.
