Sail the Open Sea

If your vacation brings you to a location where a gentle breeze is common along beautiful smooth waters, then taking a ride aboard a sailboat would be an excellent choice.  No matter where you decide to spend your holiday, taking time out to enjoy yourself on the open water will be one of the best decisions you could make.

From one side of the country to the other, Sailboat Tours offers luxurious rides where you can relax, enjoy the scenery, and add a bit of adventure to your vacation.

One of the most popular tours is the Day Sail on San Francisco Bay.  The boat will take you right by Alcatraz Island where the infamous federal prison is located.  You will receive amazing views as you pass under the Golden Gate Bridge.  Depending on your preference, you can sail in the afternoon and check out all the sights, or drift through the water at sunset and witness the glowing sun set over the sparkling water.

The NaPali Snorkel Picnic Sail of Kauai is another fabulous sailing excursion.  The boat explores the rugged NaPali coast where you will see waterfalls and lava tubes.  The guide is extremely knowledgeable on the area and can let you in on the secret ancient legends of the civilizations that once inhabited NaPali.  Breakfast and lunch picnics are included as well as snorkel instruction and gear.  So not only do you get to take in the sights of the coastline but a chance to explore the crystal clear waters as well.

For a bit of romance during your stay in Key West, the Champagne Sunset Cruise is perfect.  The boat takes you along the smooth ocean so you can experience true bliss as you watch the large orange sun appear to melt into the heavenly waters.  Your seat in front of the breathtaking sunset is to die for. 

In Chicago, you can travel in the evening aboard a large and lavish sailboat in hopes of sighting the largest mammals on our planet.  This whale watching cruise is one-of-a-kind and is a wonderful way to spend time with your family on the open water.  The cruise along Lake Michigan is great place to spot some whales and create memories to last a lifetime.

Whale Watch Wherever You Are

A great vacation activity that has been sweeping the nation is whale watching tours.  It seems that wherever whales seem to migrate to, make their home, or travel through, a whale watching tour exists.  Whale Watching Tours can provide you with an exceptional tour during your vacation in many locations across the country.

The most popular destinations where whales are spotted most often are Hawaii, Maine, Alaska and California but Whale Watching Tours offers tours throughout the world.  When visiting places like New Zealand, Canada, Iceland, Mexico, Australia and South Africa, you can participate in an exciting whale watching tour.

Most often, you travel several miles out into the ocean or bay to witness the magnificent creatures.  You will be aboard a large ship capable of keeping you safe in the event of a whale playfully splashing in the water.  In the Maui Whale Watching Tour, you are aboard a 30-foot hard-bottom inflatable raft which is great for the more adventurous tourists. 

If you are visiting San Diego, you will be engaged by your educated guide who will take you on an adventure to see the whales, as well as teach you about their migratory patterns and other wildlife in the ocean. 

During many of these tours, you will see more than just the large whales.  Often times, people will catch glimpses of dolphins, otters, sea lions, varieties of fish and many birds.

If your travels bring you to a location where a whale watching tour is offered, then you must take advantage of it!  These are great experiences for all ages and are sure to delight even the most seasoned wildlife watcher.  Visit www.whalewatchingtours.net to see if your next vacation can include one of these fantastic adventures!

Boston River Tours

We recently took this tour while visiting Boston and had a really nice time.  My 9-year-old daughter especially enjoyed when we splashed into the water.  We booked our tickets online and printed an e-ticket before we left.  It was very simple and we did not have to wait in line because we planned in advance.  We also took a dinner cruise that we booked through the same site and the food was exceptional.  We will be heading back to Boston in the near future.
