Sailing the Princ Christiansund
Covering nearly 80 percent of Greenland’s surface, the Greenland ice sheet feeds glaciers across the country. A voyage through Prince Christian Sound offers spectacular views of this ice sheet from the southern tip of the island. The 66-mile-long journey is picturesquely framed by granite mountains soaring over 7,200 feet, slow-motion ice rivers carving through solid rock as they make their way to the water to calve giant icebergs, and meltwater majestically cascading towards the sea.
Sailing the Cape Cod Canal
The demand for a link between Buzzards Bay in the south and Cape Cod Bay in the north goes back to George Washington, whose Continental Army was trapped by a British blockade during the Revolutionary War and had no waterway to retreat to. Completed in 1914, the landmark Cape Cod Canal is the world's widest sea-level canal. Its seven miles of glistening waterway is lined with lush scenery and is occasionally used by whales and dolphins, including endangered North Atlantic right whales.
Sightseeing by Chiva and Salsa Showcase
Sightseeing meets Colombian culture on this fun musical tour in Cartagena’s historic center. Enjoy rum cocktails and traditional Afro-Colombian music while riding aboard a chiva, a colorfully painted, open-sided bus more typical of Colombia’s mountain regions but one that has become a national symbol. The route takes you past many of the city’s most important colonial-era buildings and landmarks. In the heart of the historic district, you’ll go inside a local venue for a private showcase featuring four local dancers.
The Pure Spirit of San Juan
Enjoy a cold and refreshing passion fruit or coconut limber — a frozen Puerto Rican treat — on your walk along Old San Juan’s famed blue cobblestone streets. As you pass picturesque churches, statues and sculptures, your guide illuminates the history of this charming district. Along the way, stop for café con leche and Mallorca, a delicious sweet bread inherited from the Spanish.
Snorkeling to Mopion
Experience the unique beauty of the Grenadines on this scenic sail to the tiny uninhabited islet of Mopion. Like a deserted island from the movies, a lone palapa stands in the middle of the islet’s white sands that seem even brighter compared to the many hues of blue of the surrounding seas. Part of the Tobago Cays Marine Park, the waters at Mopion are incredibly clear and usually calm, sheltered by the surrounded reefs, making for wonderful swimming and snorkeling. Relax on the hour-long sail to get there on a route that showcases the beauty of the Grenadines archipelago.
Hiking Mount Royal
A short but vigorous hike to the summit of Mount Royal is a wonderful opportunity to connect with the beauty of the island as the sun makes her descent below the horizon. Along the forested trail, admire the local flora, and you may spot hummingbirds along the flowering trees and plants. Mount Royal is Canouan’s highest point at nearly 900 feet, offering a unique vantage point to take in the splendor of the Grenadines. From tiny, boot-shaped Canouan, the views extend south to her sister islands of Mayreau, Union Island, Carriacou, and Petit St. Vincent, all bathed in golden light.
