In honor of National World Oceans Day, we are featuring some of our favorite aquatic experiences around the world.  
Featured Destination:  Lizard Island, Australia
As the northernmost resort, Lizard Island provides unparalled access to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. And with 24 private beaches, that means a secluded paradise for every guest, couple, or group on island

On Lizard Island, you can snorkel, dive, or view the reef from a glass-bottomed kayak. Or explore the shoreline from your own private dinghy, discovering hidden beaches and pristine snorkeling spots.

The resort itself offers exquisite design that perfectly blends with the natural beauty of the Great Barrier Reef, and offers a range of luxury accommodations, from garden view rooms surrounded by tropical plants to a breathtaking villa offering exquisite views of the colorful lagoon below. Indulge in gourmet meals, included in your room rate, as well as a fine selection of wine and spirits. The Essential Day Spa offers indulgent treatments inspired by your one-of-a-kind surroundings.

Featured Experience:  Snorkeling and Diving
The Maldives is one the top destinations in the world for beautiful beaches, true relaxation and pampering.  It is also one of the best places in the world for diving and snorkeling.  

Each island has its own reef encircling the island lagoon. The reefs of the islands, alive with countless types of underwater creatures and vibrant corals, protect the islands from wind and wave action of the surrounding vast oceans.  This means that each resort has a house reef, where you can simply pick up a mask and fins (or a tank and BCD if you are a diver) and swim to the reef.  It is like snorkeling or diving in a fish tank, countless colorful fish, coral, rays, turtles, sharks and more.

Most resorts have snorkeling and diving boats that can take you beyond the house reef for additional experiences.
Featured Post:  Five Unique Aquatic Experiences in Australia
When envisioning traveling to Australia it is hard not to think of the expansive coastline that makes up the country.

An island destination, the population of Australia dwells mostly on the coastlines. Aussies have a particular calling to the water and love to share paradise with visitors. Below is a list of our favorite ways to experience the wonders of Australia:

Swimming with the Whale Sharks and Humpbacks at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Ningaloo Reef on the western coast is one of the best places in the world to swim with enormous whale sharks as well as Humpback Whales! This incredible reef system is the only reef directly accessible from the shore and it is known for the massive whale sharks that visit daily during the season. Here you are able to swim with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Unlike whale shark tours in Mexico, these tours don’t require you to wear a life vest, so you can get right up close to the animals (just don’t touch!).

Snorkeling and diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, filled with beautiful coral and unique marine life. This massive reef supports an amazingly diverse ecosystem, made up of 350 different species of dazzling corals, over 1,500 species of tropical fish, 10,000 types of sponges, 125 types of sharks, and 4,000 species of mollusks. No trip to Australia is complete without snorkeling or diving in the Great Barrier Reef!

Swimming with the Sealions and Sharks, South Australia

If you’re feeling really adventurous, head to Port Lincoln for some more up-close encounters with Australia’s marine wildlife. At this laid back seaside town, you can swim with playful sea lions and even go cage diving with Great White Sharks.

Learning how to surf on the famous Bondi Beach, New South Wales

Why just be a spectator at Bondi Beach when you can get in amongst the waves and the locals and learn to surf for yourself. Here you can take a 2-hour surf lesson with our mates, Let’s Go Surfing, to learn the basics. I promise you will able to catch a wave or two on your own by the end.

Paddle with a platypus, Tasmania

Take a day out with our mates at Tassie Bound Adventures in Tasmania and you will have the opportunity to slow down, spot platypus in their natural habitat, and learn about their very secretive lives. This kayaking tour guarantees a 95% chance of seeing up to 5-10 platypus—a rare opportunity since they are such shy creatures!

Insiders Tip
We are all working so much these days, it is important to include some R&R with your adventure. If you safari in South Africa, spend a few days kicking back in Mozambique. Combine Fiji or Tahiti with your Australia, New Zealand exploration. And if you like to keep active, there are plenty of excursions to include: scuba diving, jet skiing, snorkeling with rays, quad biking, golfing and fishing.
