Two Ways to Celebrate the Lunar New Year
This month, it’s time to wear red and celebrate the Lunar New Year to welcome in the Year of the Horse. In cities around the world, the 16-day event ends with the brilliant and beautiful Lantern Festival, where neighborhoods glow with colorful lamps and striking light sculptures. The Chinese Zodiac considers this year to be one filled with energy and ambition. Years of the horse are when people are often inspired to try something new and embrace change. To us, that sounds like a great year to get out and explore the world anew!

Embrace the spirit of this new Year of Horse with travel that pushes you to new adventures. Is 2026 when you book that family safari to see the Great Migration? Or line up that heli-ski safari into the peaks of the Canadian Rockies? Maybe it’s an expedition cruise to the polar ends of the Earth or a drift along Vietnam’s Mekong Delta? Think big. Think grand. Channel your free spirit, that wild mustang we’ve all got in our souls, and reach out to us. Finding you the right adventure anywhere in the world is what we do best.

If you’d rather take a more literal approach to the Year of the Horse, we can round up the best ranch vacations to consider. We’ve got favorite guest ranches in Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, even Alberta and British Columbia in Canada. But we’d recommend you go further. Try the luxury beachfront resort with horses, NIHI Sumba, in Indonesia. Or see what it means to be a gaucho and head down to Patagonia in Chile or Argentina. Riding a horse through the region’s jaw-dropping scenery, from craggy mountain peaks to glacial lakes and wind-whipped glaciers, is one of life’s great travel experiences.
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Let’s plan something unexpected.
