Log off and take a break from technology

Turn off your iPhones, disconnect from civilisation and resist the urge to share, like, post, tweet and retweet. The pressures of the modern world have been overcome with technology and believe us; we understand the real need to take a break.

We have launched 6 holidays with Digital Detox Departure Dates for 2018. They have been carefully selected in remote destinations like the Patagonia Paine Circuit where mobile and Wi-Fi signal will be extremely limited. On our specified dates, at the start of your holiday the guide will collect everyone’s mobile telephone and look after it to the end of the trip. This is only optional and it will be there in an emergency but if you really want to unplug from reality we urge you not to ask for it. Give the mobile a rest, go “off-grid” and totally detox!

Take a look at our 5 Digital Detox Departures...
