| The Ultimate Active Blackbook: Places |
|
| Over the past 16 years, Gray & Co. has compiled the ultimate “blackbook” of the best places to bike, hike, walk, paddle, ride, and more. In each destination, we weave in our in-house guides—think of them as the ultimate producers—along with local experts, cultural gems, great cuisine, and carefully curated places to stay: châteaux, lodges, estancias, villas, cabins, yachts, camps, and more. We share some of these global finds on our website under PLACES. Now's an especially good time to plan a 2026 private trip to South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia or New Zealand. Let's go! Cheers, Cari and Team Gray & Co. P.S. Happy Canadian Thanksgiving and Indigenous Peoples’ Day! |

In Argentina, choose among red-rock canyons, glaciers, gauchos, lakes and tango time in Buenos Aires. The best beaches? Tiny Uruguay for the win! |

Sprawling Australia can seem overwhelming, but Team Gray makes it easy. From Kangaroo Island to the Barossa, Outback, Tasmania, and Margaret River, southern Oz dazzles as of November.

Europe Expanded |

Some of our newer destinations continue to be great to visit in the off season — think mainland Greece, tranquil Dubrovnik, and snowy Iceland. Northern Lights, anyone? Meanwhile, our latest launch is Romania - timely! Calling all vampires.... |
