HF Holidays and Traveleyes

Amar Latif

HF Holidays, the walking and special interest holiday operator, has established a partnership with blind TV personality and adventurer Amar Latif, who is founder of Traveleyes. 

Traveleyes provides multi-sensory group holidays for blind and sighted travellers. 

From Spring 2024, HF Holidays will offer Traveleyes adventures and shared travel experiences for both blind and sighted people, travelling together.

Traveleyes Amar Latif, who by the age of 18 had lost 95% of his sight, set up Traveleyes after being rejected by mainstream travel operators as a solo blind traveller.

In the last 20 years, Traveleyes has expanded to become the world's premier company to specialise in shared travel experiences for both blind and sighted travellers together.

It offers around 70 trips a year, from discovery tours and activity holidays, to city and sunshine breaks, with each itinerary focusing on stimulating the senses. 

Each tour group is made up of a 50/50 mix of blind and sighted travellers. Visually-impaired customers receive one-to-one personal descriptive guiding at every stage of a trip. 

HF Holidays, founded in 1913, offers 260-plus walking and special interest holidays in Europe and the rest of the world. 

Run as a co-operative, is welcomes 55,000 walkers annually who enjoy guided walking with one of 750 leaders, and a choice of up to three walks per day with varying levels of difficulty.
