DREAMWORTHY DESTINATIONS

Hawaii

Hawaii’s postcard fabled landscapes, dreamy beaches, and distinctive culture have captivated travelers not just here in the USA, but around the world. While Hawaii is an archipelago made of 137 islands eight of them are inhabited and visited by travelers. Each of the eight islands is completely different from one another offering black and green sand beaches, snowy peaks, cascading waterfalls, and lush tropical jungle. Hawaii is home to two of the world’s most active volcanoes, has 10 of the world’s 14 climate zones (making it one of the most ecologically diverse places on earth), and enjoys more ethnic diversity than any other state in the country.

Best Time to Visit

Because Hawaii sits on the edge of a tropical climate zone, it has two main seasons. April to October is the summer or dry season, and November to March is technically the winter or rainy season. The great thing about the weather is the temperatures don’t vary too drastically year-round and even during the winter season, the rain is often intermittent and doesn’t generally fall for longer than a couple of days.

Highly Recommended Experiences:

There are few places on earth you can get close to an active volcano - Watch the earth steam and listen to it whistle at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island

Mexico

There are a thousand reasons why Mexico has been beloved by all for as far back as tourism in North America goes.

Mexico is an array of beauty, from the white sandy beaches, ancient Mayan ruins in the Mayan Riviera and Tulum peninsula, to the mountainous jungle and golden sand beaches and desert scapes of the Baja peninsula and the Pacific Coast. Mexico’s vibrant festivals, rhythmic culture, delicious cuisine, and rich historical past make it far more than a beautiful beach destination.

Highly Recommended Experiences:

Take a boat ride from Puerto Vallarta to the charming fishing village of Yelapa
Visit iconic Mayan Ruins: Chichén Itzá El Castillo, Chichen Itza, Palenque, and Ek' Balam are a great place to start
Swim in a cenote, a naturally formed sinkhole with pristine water and beautiful underwater rock formations in Tulum
Enjoy live mariachi music, watch artists create and enjoy a stroll along the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta
Go humpback whale watching off the coast of Los Cabos - the whales feed off the Baja Peninsula and give birth to their calves.
Go snorkeling in Cancun and explore the Musa Underwater Museum, one of the most unique underwater installations in the world

Best Time to Visit

The best time to make your way to Mexico would be between the months of December and April. These would be considered the dry season, but you will get variations depending on where you are in the country. The coolest months, especially down the West Coast, are December and February, but you can still see pleasant temperatures.

the Caribbean Islands

From St. Lucia’s lush rainforest to Puerto Rico’s beautiful Old Town walls, to Jamaica’s vibrant island culture, the Caribbean is an eclectic collection of culture, food, music, and geographical gems. Whether you’re enjoying some island-hopping from the balcony of a premium cruise or we’re flying you in to enjoy a week or two in the sun, the most difficult thing about coming to the Caribbean is choosing the island or set of islands you want to experience first.

Highly Recommended Experiences:

Visit the historic Brimstone Hill Fortress in St. Kitts
Take a swim or enjoy an up-close encounter with gentle stingrays in Grand Cayman
Take an excursion to Falmouth and enjoy the best jerk chicken in Jamaica (possibly the world!)
Watch the planes take off and enjoy relative solitude with your loved one on Bonaire’s gorgeous Te Amo beach
Take one of the most picturesque hikes in the Caribbean in Pigeon Island National Park where you can enjoy views as far as Martinique
Stroll through Puerto Rico’s Old San Juan and round off your day with a rooftop daiquiri

Best Time to Visit

The driest months and best time to experience the Caribbean would be between the months of December and April. Peak season generally coincides with the holidays back in the United States, so if you prefer fewer crowds, you may want to avoid December around Christmas, and March when it’s spring break.

Alaska

It’s said that ‘everything is bigger in Texas,’ but whoever first made that claim has never been to Alaska. Its unparalleled splendor, endless wilderness, an abundance of wildlife, and colorful history have a way of enchanting anyone who makes the trip. A destination for thrill-seekers, naturalists, adventurers, and admirers of Native American culture, Alaska has a million reasons to be on everyone’s bucket list. Alaska is a choose-your-adventure type experience whether you see it from the balcony of a luxurious cruise, on foot through alpine meadows in Denali National Park, by air over the Brooks Range, or swaying to and fro on a historic train ride along the iconic Alaska Railroad.

Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Alaska is during its summer which is quite long and runs from May to September. June through to August is peak travel season, and it also happens to have the best weather and the longest days which can see anywhere from 16-24 hours of daylight. The cruising season for the larger ships begins in May, and the small ships and expedition trips can start as early as April.
