AND NOW FOR SOMETHING C O M P L E T E LY D I F F E R E N T: E X P E R T LY C R A F T E D E X C L U S I V E H O L I D AY S When creating our own range of exclusive holidays with built-in excursions, the last thing we wanted to bring you was just another range of ‘group tours’.

We wanted to design something special. Something that offered a range of desirable destinations, quality accessible accommodation, and carefully planned accessible excursions. Holidays where lifelong friendships can be formed, but with enough spare time and freedom to enjoy your own personal space.

Welcome to Exclusive Accessible Holidays with Excursions, expertly designed for you by Enable Holidays – the award-winning accessible travel specialists.

P E R F E C T LY D E S I G N E D F O R Y O U Our small group holidays are not your ‘typical tours’. They are informal, flexible and allow plenty of free time to relax or explore at your own pace between group activities.

You’ll meet like-minded single travellers, couples or friends - and enjoy your holiday just how you like it!

We’re bringing people together from all over the UK. You’ll be introduced to each other at the welcome meeting, go on excursions together, and then socialise as you wish – or do as you please.

The idea behind these holidays is to help you meet new friends and enjoy experiences together with other wheelchairusers without it being too regimented. They’re especially popular with people that are new wheelchair-users looking for an easier and more enjoyable way to holiday abroad.

On the following pages, you can learn more about our exciting Exclusive Accessible Holidays for 2018 to Jersey, Malta and Madeira. And for the full details on any holiday, please call one of our disabled holiday experts on 0871 222 4939, or email info@enableholidays.com

THE PERFECT ISLAND E S C A P E I S O N LY A S H O R T F L I G H T AWAY Jersey, the largest of the Channel Islands, is a perfect blend of British and French cultures in a relaxing continental atmosphere. English is the official language and pound sterling is the currency. A holiday in Jersey also means VAT-free shopping, beautiful scenery and excellent food.

The island provides a large amount of wheelchair-friendly facilities, while the wide and level pavements make transport through the streets far easier than many other destinations. These welcome benefits, together with the advantage of a short flight from the UK mainland and ultra-accessible accommodation, make Jersey the ideal location for a disabled holiday.
