As a cruise and touring specialist, Jonathan's portfolio spans everything from adventure travel and island escapes to river cruises, rail journeys, snow and ski trips, and small group tours. “I have too many favourite travel memories to choose from,” he says, “but hiking in the Himalayas, riding the Rocky Mountaineer through Canada, exploring medieval towns in southern France on a scenic river cruise, and relaxing in the snow grotto on a Viking Ocean ship all stand out.”
His passion for travel goes far beyond the itinerary. “I travel to see how others live, experience different cultures, and explore places that are thousands of years old. It’s a way to understand the incredible diversity of our planet—and practice what you preach.”
Also a qualified snow ski instructor, Jonathan brings a hands-on perspective to planning ski holidays and snow-based adventures. And with dream destinations like Antarctica, the Arctic, and Egypt still on his list, his curiosity continues to fuel every journey he designs.
Book your next one-of-a-kind holiday with Jonathan House—where expert planning meets real-world experience, and no two adventures are ever the same.

I have been using Jon for years at Travel Associates Runaway Bay and I would never go anywhere else. Jon is super organised and every request I ask is done with out question, a smile and in a timely manner
And believe me I can be painful 😂 Do yourself a favour and next time you need to organise any sort of trip away contact Jon as you will not be disappointed.
My mother and her friend have just booked a holiday with Jonathan House at Travel Associates Runaway Bay and could not be happier with everything that Jonathan provided. He offered exceptional customer service and experience as they are both in their 80s and every detail was thoroughly explained to them. They will be going back for their next trip and when we are ready to do another holiday, I certainly will go through Jonathan. Thank you Jonathan for making it simple. Kind Regards, Ann Pope
