Puerto Calero Submarine SafariVisitor Attractions in Spain Diving is pretty exciting, but you have to know what you’re doing with all those gauges on the tanks and everything. Submerging yourself encased in a submarine is also exciting and you don’t need to do anything but look out the portholes in awe. And the clear waters off Lanzarote are definitely worth getting into as deep as possible, a mints worth of marine life live here. On the Sub Fun Tres Submarine, which sets sail from the marina at Puerto Calero, each viewing port and chair has its own TV screen offering you alternative viewing angles, for best marine coverage. An hours trip on this sub, accompanied by a guided explanation of what you’re seeing will show you things previously reserved for divers. It’s all air conditioned and pressurised so it’s perfectly safe for pregnant women or people with heart or ear problems.

The Darjeeling Mail, The Decan OdysseyTrain Journeys in Mumbai, India The incomparable Taj Mahal, sacred Varanasi and the fortified, pink city of Jaipur roll past the windows of the Viceroy of India from Mumbai in a huge semi-circular trail to the lush tea plantations of Darjeeling. The sumptuous, patterned Indian-style interior and the (mostly) Indian food allow the culture to seep into the carriages themselves, so the country becomes more than just a series of flickering images.

Key Largo and The Florida KeysIslands in US South East, United States Between the Everglades National Park to its west and a barrier reef to its east, Key Largo is a well known diving and fishing destination, though its location also offers good conditions for kayaking and bird watching. Key Largo is flat and sunny, more like the Caribbean than the rest of Miami, and is connected to mainland Miami by two long road bridges, one being US Highway 1. The Florida Keys include 1700 subtropical islands and islets which are the limestone remains of a vast ancient coral reef, the last sections of which survive under the surface. In addition to North America’s only living barrier reef, divers in the Florida Keys have access to numerous artificial reefs created by intentionally sinking large ships off the coast. 157kms from the coast of Cuba, Key West is one of the largest and most built up of the Florida Key Islands and was home to Ernest Hemingway who was a regular at Sloppy Joe's Bar on the main street. Big Pine Key is home to the rare Key Deer and the Looe Key National Marine Sanctuary. Islamoranda is good for sport fishing, and has several shallow reefs suitable for snorkelling.

Seal Swimming in KaikouraWildlife in South Island, New Zealand This coastal New Zealand city offers a variety of wildlife encounters but swimming with seals is probably the most unique. Established in 1987, Seal Swim Kaikoura brings visitors to the clear, shallow waters of Kaikoura Peninsula to swim with wild New Zealand Fur Seals. These playful and curious sea creatures have been known to come up and interact with swimmers, making this an exhilarating experience. Visitors wear a thick wetsuit which acts like a life jacket, making this an ideal activity for non swimmers and children. Snorkel and fins are also provided. Tours operate from the beginning of October to the end of May.

About usStuck at your desk? Gazing out at those grey skies and imagining you are somewhere else?

If you like the look of it, send it to a couple of friends. If not, wait and see what tomorrow brings. And if it gets past the fantasy stage, we'll soon have links to research the experience further, but you can also send us an email, and we'll tell you where to look or book next. |
