Learn to Surf in Hawaii
Where else would be more exciting to learn to surf than Hawaii!
Local surfing schools are available for tourists to book onto lessons to learn to ride the waves in the place that invented the sport!
Choose between a one-off lesson to give it a go, or a multiple date course to really improve your skills. This is an experience in a setting like nowhere else.
Chocolate making in Belgium
Where else would you even consider leaning to make chocolate but Belgium itself?
Indulge in your sweet tooth and join a chocolate making class where you will experiment with truffles, nuts, fruit and even spiced chocolate! As you can imagine, there are many places in Belgium you can try your hand at this, and we recommend you do!
Become a yoga teacher in Bali
Live out your own version of ‘Eat Pray Love’ and learn to become a Yoga instructor in the exotic Bali, Indonesia!
There are a number of intensive courses you can take, which will end with you becoming a fully qualified Yoga teacher. Courses run from 21 to 30+ days, where you will learn everything you need to know with intensive training.
Mush Huskies in Lapland
Possibly not a skill that will be overly useful back to the UAE, but one that you will certainly enjoy and never forget.
Take a trip to the cold climes of Lapland in Finland and learn to mush the huskies. You can either go out on a short learning trip or take an entire holiday learning to mush whilst exploring the country.
Scuba Dive in Egypt
The Red Sea is one of the top destinations for scuba divers. Thanks to the warm waters you can find a huge array of fish and corals, and there are even a number of wrecks to explore too.
If you need to learn to dive, there are lots of diving schools that you can join up to, who will teach you the ropes and get you the required qualification. Most lessons start in a pool, so nothing too scary to start you off!
If you are looking to learn a new skill it is important that your travel insurance policy covers you for it if it is an activity such as diving, skiing etc. You may need to take out extra coverage on certain activities, just in case of an accident or illness.
