The Great Barrier Reef
As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Great Barrier Reef is a must-see destination that every traveler should check off their bucket list. Many Australian travelers begin their journey in the south, exploring the cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, before heading north to the tropical portions of Australia. Start your visit in Cairns, the main home base for reef vacationers. Then, head south to take in the beauty of Whitsunday Islands and Townsville where you can scuba dive, snorkel, or sail through the reef and take in the beautiful array of sea life you just won’t find anywhere else.
Jamaica
The Caribbean has long been the pinnacle of tropical vacation spots for North American travelers, offering everything from sun-kissed beaches to rich culture. Jamaica stands out as a cultural hub of the area, partially thanks to its iconic reggae music. It’s the best of both worlds for those looking for a tropical dream vacation, as well as plenty of activities you keep you busy when you’re not relaxing at the resort. Sip Jamaican coffee, golf in Montego Bay and enjoy strolls along the cream-colored beaches - Jamaica promises an unforgettable escape for every traveler.
Panama
Those seeking tropical vacations can discover the wild beauty of Central America. Panama is home to some of the world’s most astounding biodiversity while also being home to the legendary canal that connects two of the world’s oceans.
