This seems like the perfect kind of list for a dreary Tuesday afternoon back in the office after the holidays. Just magine where you could be if you had the high-powered (and highly paid!) job you deserve! You could be out there right now, on your yacht, in the sunshine, pootling around any one of the top 5 places in the world to visit by boat!
- Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia
Whitsundays are a collection of 74 island wonders, located off of the coast of Queensland. Only one of the islands is inhabited and the rest are dotted with secluded beaches and hidden coves. The whole place is a feast for the senses, bright, airy and rich. Whale season is between June and September but snorkelling at any time of the year is a recommendation.
- Gulf Islands, Canada
The Gulf Islands were named as one of the best coastal destinations in 2010 by National Geographic Traveller . They are a chain of islands located between Vancouver and British Columbia. The sheltered waters make an ideal location for sailing, scuba diving and fishing. The forests are ecologically protected and the beaches are just simply inviting to all.
- San Blas, Guna Yula
The San Blas islands have been the subject of numerous National Geographic articles. They offer two unbeatable attractions: Caribbean islands and the chance to visit the Guna people, a living Indian culture with a fascinating way of life. In total, the archipelago has 365 islands covered in palm trees and absolutely picturesque.
- Galapagos Islands, Ecuador
The Galapagos Islands speak for themselves. A trip of a lifetime on the islands well known for their role in the theory of evolution. The Galapagos offer a multitude of inland and boat cruises and tours and the sights and sounds are unlike anywhere else on the planet. Highly recommended even for the shortest of trips.
- Seychelles Islands
The Seychelles Islands are some of the most beautiful islands in the entire Indian Ocean. Azure seas and isles set like gemstones, the Seychalles offer superb views and diving opportunities. The Outer Islands are all coralline or sand bays and mainly uninhabited leaving you freedom to explore however you wish.
