3 Unusual Vacation Ideas

If you are looking to spend your vacation on a slightly more unusual way, you might have to splurge a bit more for that once in a lifetime trip. Here are some suggestions that should help you decide where to spend your next holiday off the beaten path.

1. Yachting in the Caribbean.

The Caribbean is one of the most visited regions in the world. With its' easy going lifestyle, good food and drinks, friendly people and most importantly, the heavenly beaches, the Caribbean is rightly a choice for many. While most people choose to spend their days on land, you can always find a Caribbean yacht charter to take you around the islands while you spend your days exploring the islands and your nights lounging on the deck.

A luxury Caribbean yacht charter will also mean that you will save precious time traveling between the islands if you plan to visit a lot of them. There is also nothing more romantic that having your own private yacht miles away from any other person which makes this trip perfect as a honeymoon. A private yacht will also let you explore the more secluded spots in the region.

2. Safari in Africa.

This one is for the wildlife enthusiasts. With urbanization and an exploding population, more and more species are going extinct as less space is devoted to their sanctuary. With the many wildlife reserves and national parks that dot the continent, Africa is one of the last few places to catch glimpses of majestic animals like lions and packs of antelopes bounding about the land.

You can stay at the many hotels that cater to tourists who have come for the safaris and can even spend time at Giraffe Manor where giraffes poke their heads into your room as you have breakfast. For spectacular views, there are many helicopter tours offered that zoom you above the land so you can watch the animals in all their majesty.

3. Skiing in the Alps.

This may not be that unusual and thousands do it every year but it is for those who have never been skiing before. Between France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Austria there is a ski resort that caters to any budget and any kind of vacationer. The best part of the deal is that not everybody has to go skiing. Many of the resorts like Zermatt in Switzerland are known for their vibrant nightlife and shopping.

Those that do not want to slide down the world famous slopes strapped to metal planks can always spend their days near heated pools or outside with a hot cup of cocoa. The point is that there is plenty to do for everyone. Some of the best views like those of the Matterhorn and the best restaurants in the world are also available for those who choose to holiday in the Alps.

These three choices should have brought you slightly closer to deciding where to vacation. So, sit down with your friends or family and look over your options. Remember to do your research before deciding on a spot.
