3 Places Best Explored By Boat
Since 1914, people have been traveling by airplane to see new places more quickly than they could by ship. However, many parts of the world hide secrets and beauty that you can only find by boat. Here are three places where you should take it slow and float along.
For those who like historical buildings, green mountain trails and relaxing at the beach, Greece has it all with 6,000 islands, surrounded by clear blue waters, just waiting to be explored. Visit the island of Santorini to see the popular white and blue houses before taking a ship out to Mykonos to enjoy the nightlife. When you need to take a break, relax on the white sands of Navagio Beach.
Ha Long Bay in northern Vietnam is home to over 1,600 small islands. The area, which became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994, is known for its beautiful limestone caves, beaches and floating villages. Visitors should take a daytrip to allow time for swimming, fishing and snorkeling.
Grand Canyon, United States
While most people visit the Grand Canyon in Arizona only to look down at the Colorado River, over 1.2 kilometers below, you can take a boat and enjoy the natural beauty of the canyon walls all around you. To get the full experience, take a helicopter from Las Vegas down to the bottom, where a boat will be waiting. From there, you can have a nice and easy 15-minute float down the river. Or, for a more exciting experience, try whitewater rafting.
