We’re putting Santa out of business! Apart from being a media leader in the travel industry, Traveltalk has always been famous for one thing. The quality and quantity of its competitions.

But in all our nearly 50 years of phenomenal prizes and glittering giveaways, we’ve never done anything like this…!

Inspired by the ‘12 Days of Christmas’ and with the festive season almost upon us, we’re announcing a special ‘12 Days Of Giveaways’.

Thanks to our generous sponsors and partners, we’re running a new competition every day for 12 days, starting from November 4.

Prizes include hotel stays, meals out, movie tickets, gadgets and much, much more.
Winners will start to be announced in early December so you’ll know whether you’ve got an early Christmas present in plenty of time before the big day.

Float away your worries!

ACQUABOSS has got your back this summer. Literally. Their new Water Hammocks will support you, partially submerged as you float around in your pool or the ocean. Two inflatable pockets at either end support your neck and legs, creating a hammock so comfortable you won’t want to get up.

Each ACQUABOSS Water Hammock comes with a drink holder and waterproof phone holder – what more do you need?!

The range comes in seven great colours – Blue, Blue Heaven, Pink, Green, Gingham, Orange, Rainbow and Mint Green. There’s even a double Water Hammock for those that prefer to relax with a loved one. The super strong mesh fabric is UV and mould resistant.
The inflatable pockets are replaceable, should you damage one. We love pool floats that last a long time and don’t end up in landfill after one or two summers and the ACQUABOSS Water Hammock is made to last.
The Water Hammocks can also double as a towel with a supportive headrest when not in the water.
At only 1kg, the ACQUABOSS Water Hammocks are light enough to carry around and can fold small enough to fit into your beach bag.
ACQUABOSS donates 100% of profits on pink products to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
