Experience a tropical paradise at Flamingo Gardens. With over 3000 species of native and exotic plants, exploring the botanical gardens will take visitors across the world without ever needing to leave Florida. The wildlife sanctuary is also home to over 85 native species, including the garden’s namesake, the flamingo, and is a fantastic place to relax and be at one with nature.

Unspoiled and uninhabited Catalina Island is the star of this tour. You'll have a few hours to enjoy its palm-fringed sandy beach, which stretches out for 2km along the west coast, and savour a buffet grill with drinks. But the fun begins before you even land on the islet – there's a snorkelling stop en route at La Pared reef – a garden of coral, sponges and exotic fish.

This tropical escape is a bucket-list must – and here's why. After a short bus ride to Cañitas Pier, you'll hop on a boat to Cayo Levantado – aka Bacardi Island – for ultimate beach vibes, coconut palms, and a delicious Dominican lunch. Then, keep those sunhats on because next up is Playa Rincon, where turquoise waters and palm-lined shores await, followed by canoeing through Caño Frio's mangroves. You'll wrap things up with a city tour of Samana, then it's back to your hotel. This tropical escape is a bucket-list must – and here's why.
