$99 FLIGHTS TO IRELAND WITH NORWEGIAN

Norwegian is running a sale until this Friday on flights all over Europe. Ireland is only $99 away. Flights to Rome and Paris are $149 and $129 each way, respectively. Granted, those prices are from the east coast to Europe. Still, prices from the west coast only go up incrementally and are rarely over $200 one-way if you can be a little flexible with your dates.

$200 FLIGHTS TO MALAYSIA ON AIRASIA

On the other side of the world, AirAsia has a great deal on one-way flights between Honolulu and Kuala Lumpur (via Osaka, Japan). Prices hit that rock-bottom low of $200 one-way around next May and June and again late in September 2019. So, you’ll need to plan ahead a little bit here, which is “whatever” given that amazing price.

TAKE AN AMERICAN SAFARI FOR $999

https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKfyMJgEbU/

Something like a safari feels like it’s over the hills and far away from our own backyards. That’s true in a sense. However, if you’re after amazing wildlife, beautiful vistas and seeing a huge migration of life, you don’t have to get on a flight for 12 hours. All of that is available in Wyoming near the gorgeous Grand Tetons.

Spring Creek Ranch is offering a special travel deal to their idyllic ranch experience that also includes witnessing the great migration of Big Horn Sheep through the area. The three-day itinerary includes whole days spent spotting sheep and elk as they move through the Yellowstone system into their winter grazing grounds alongside historical tours of the area and plenty of great meals. This one really does feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s only a couple hours away.

Speaking of safaris, Peregrine Adventures offers some seriously rad trips where the only thing you’ll need to worry about is the storage space on your camera’s SD card. One of the best deals they have right now is an eight-day (small boat) river cruise into West Africa through Dakar and Senegal. The trip includes tours of croc-filled marshlands, the historical epicenter of African slavery, and a chance to see chimpanzees in the wild. Truly, this is a bucket list sort of trip.
