Ha Long Bay
This is the first sea kayaking trip in Asia. Begin in Ha Long city and spend seven days paddling through the emerald-blue water of the Ha Long Bay World Heritage site. Thousands of islands dot the seascape while millions of brightly colored fish swirl through the water below you. You can spend hours exploring the caves and grottoes sprinkled through the larger islands and marvel at the formations of the smaller ones.
Nights could be dropped in a hotel on a different island each night as you paddle your way through them. Fresh seafood is caught daily by the local fishermen and prepared for your meals. (more…)
It is almost that time of year again, the time when school lets out and families start planning summer vacations. If your family is like others, you try to get creative and try new things. You want to go different places, see new things and have new memories.
When you dream up going out into the wilderness, you think of hiking up or backpacking. Another word for this is trekking. It comes from the Afrikaans and Dutch languages. It can mean to pull or haul in those languages and that is pretty much what you are doing. Not only are you carrying yourself, you are carrying supplies that will enable to you survive in the great unknown. You must always ensure that you have a way to communicate with people back home. A first aid kit is very important in case of injury. You must always remember to bring along hiking boots and not simple shoes when going on an adventure.
When it comes to California vacations, we often think of nothing more than sunny Los Angeles. Yes, Los Angeles is a great place to visit, but how would you like to explore a well-kept secret? That well-kept secret is just off the coast of California and it is known as Santa Catalina Island. There is so much to do and see, including scuba diving Catalina Island.
