Bora Bora
Bora-Bora
I don’t think there is one traveler in this world who didn’t write down Bora Bora on his or hers must see list. It’s impossible not to love Bora Bora. This is the place where paradisiacal beauty meets ultimate luxury. It’s not surprising that many people save a lifetime so they can enjoy a few days in this earthly heaven. But everybody admits that the effort is totally worth it.

Galapagos Islands
galapagos
The Galapagos Islands are not exactly the exotic islands you are used to. You won’t find luxurious bungalows and people welcoming you with cocktails. This is a wild land where a variety of beautiful creatures, from giant turtles to penguins and sea lions, have their home. This is the perfect place for people who love to discover the mysteries and untamed beauty of nature.
You should know that the Galapagos Islands are situated in Ecuador, in the eastern Pacific Ocean. There are in fact 13 main islands and 6 smaller isles, which sum up a total surface of 50,000 m2 of ocean. This was the place which inspired Charles Darwin with his famous theory, so you should expect to encounter impressive species of animals and birds.
Each island allows a limited number of visitors who are always accompanied by professional travel guides. There are only a small number of visitor sites but you will be amazed nonetheless.
During your trip to Galapagos, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, hiking, fishing are all viable options for spending your time.
The easiest way to discover all the sites open for tourists is by boat. Make sure you book your tours in advance. To get to Galapagos you should depart from Quito or Guayaquil, these airports having daily flights to Isla Baltra Airport, the closest airport to Puerto Ayora. Puerto Ayora is the main city in the Galapagos Islands.

Saint Lucia
St-Lucia
After our virtual trip to Galapagos, I thought it would be nice to return for a little while in a similar setting to the one offered by Bora Bora. Saint Lucia is a British Commonwealth country and an island in the Caribbean region, so natural splendor has definitely found its home here. It is situated between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Saint Lucia’s scenery is dominated by the Gros and Petit Pitons, two cone-shaped peaks.
Whenever I think of Saint Lucia, the infinity pools of Jade Mountain luxury resort always come to mind. The scenery is absolutely divine and I can’t think of a better honeymoon destination, or summer destination as a matter of fact, than an infinity pool with such a sublime view.
The dry season and most recommended for visitors is between the months of January and April. Among the attractions of St. Lucia we can mention the Sulphur Springs at Soufrière, the famous twin Pitons, the Pigeon Island National Park, and also the magnificent Botanical Gardens. Of course, the “being lazy on a luxurious beach” attraction is also present on the top things to do in St. Lucia.
St. Lucia has two airports: George FL Charles Airport and Hewanorra International. The main way to get around the island is by taxi or, of course, car rental. For the ones who want to save some money, the local buses provide efficient transport.

Hana is a secluded town at the end of a highway, where “The Garden of Eden” is waiting for curious tourists. This is a beautiful botanical garden that houses luxuriant vegetation and bamboo gardens, and offers amazing views of the Puohokama Falls. You should consider spending the night here because it will be quite hard to see all there is to see in just one day. The journey to Hana itself is a memorable experience.
