Experience Melbourne, Australia's cosmopolitan cultural hub, where a labyrinth of laneways, world-class dining, vibrant street art, and a thriving arts scene meld together in a city that captivates the senses. Melbourne is the capital city of Victoria - and a global capital of trend-setting cool. Dynamic, sporty and arty, it still maintains an air of old-world grace with spacious tree-lined boulevards and expansive parks. The prosperous lifestyle of its people is both cosmopolitan and sophisticated. The heritage of more than 100 different cultures has contributed to Melbourne's richly international character - exemplified by its range of 15,000 dining venues offering more than 50 different kinds of cuisine.

Portland, Australia
jan 08, 2029
11:00 AM - 7:00 PM
The broad-backed giants of the ocean, mighty Southern Right whales, come within meters of the shore during their annual migration off this seafaring city in Victoria. Venture to nearby Cape Bridgewater to also spot the powerful blows of blue whales as they feast on this coast's abundant krill, as well as hundreds of long-nosed fur seals nonchalantly lolling on rocks. There are many layers of history to be unearthed, too: the ding-ding-dinging cable tram rolls from the maritime discovery center to a clutch of museums; while inland, Budj Bim national park – in a dormant volcano – is central to the culture of the Gunditjmara people, who are the traditional owners of the land.

Kangaroo Island, Australia
jan 09, 2029
12:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Anchor
Few places in the world have more diverse flora and fauna than this epic outcrop off South Australia. From bottlenose dolphins, black cockatoos, echidnas and goannas to kangaroos, koalas, sea lions and wallabies, it's an A-Z of Antipodean zoology. As soon as a nearby leaf rustles, you'll want your binoculars at the ready. But if the adrenalin of a wildlife sighting isn't enough, there are more full-throttle experiences on offer: quad-biking in the bush; sandboarding down the dunes; and exploring a two-kilometer-long subterranean labyrinth of sinkholes and caverns. Lower your pulse once more in the boutique vineyards that craft cool-climate wines with minimal intervention.
04.
Adelaide, Australia
jan 10, 2029
8:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Discover Adelaide, South Australia's elegant capital, where a fusion of charming architecture, lush parklands, and a thriving food and wine scene create a refined and inviting urban experience. Adelaide straddles the Torrens River on a narrow plain between the Mt. Lofty Ranges and the blue waters of the Gulf of St. Vincent, boasting a profusion of gardens, playgrounds, sporting fields and colorful flower beds. Affectionately known as the "City of Churches," the combination of verdant parklands and stately buildings imbue this prosperous center with enduring grace and character.

Albany (Western Australia), Australia
jan 13, 2029
7:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Nature at its most wild and rugged is the wondrous spectacle on offer in this corner of Western Australia. To take it all in, impressively engineered lookouts are cantilevered over towering cliffs as the sapphire ocean foams and froths below, while hikes to a granite skywalk scale rocky outcrops that were millions of years in the making. This area also has some of the country's most incredible beaches: green pools sheltered by giant boulders; scoops of squeaky white sand and rolling surf. Even the eerie Historic Whaling Station seems in awe of the natural world, with its huge sperm whale skeleton reminding us of the powerful creatures of the deep.

The rugged Indonesian island of Rinca is smaller and lesser known than its famous neighbor Komodo, making it an ideal destination to spot the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, in its natural habitat. You'll find the magnificent creature – endemic to a small pocket of southeast Indonesia – amongst golden grasslands, dense mangrove forests, rocky valleys, and even sandy beaches. As you explore the island, be sure to also keep an eye out for macaques, water buffalo, and Timor deer.

Tanggedu rewards those who make the rugged journey with its series of enchanting cascades. Or discover wow-factor galore at Walakiri Beach, famed for its gnarly mangrove trees that create dancing silhouettes in the water – utterly hypnotic at sunset.

Kupang, Indonesia
jan 26, 2029
9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
As the first port in Indonesia after Australia, Kupang, or Koepang to give it its Dutch name, enjoys a very international feel. The city was an important port and trading post during the Portuguese and Dutch colonial eras, and vestiges such as Fort Concordia give visitors a taste of the city's ex-colonial presence. However, local culture and cuisine are still very much Indonesian, as shown in the wonderfully vibrant markets (such as Pasar Oebobo 30 minutes from the port), a great place if you want to support the local economy with a spot of souvenir shopping. Indigenous artefacts can be found at the Kupang Museum, while those who want to explore the rainforest might like to travel the short distance to Oenesu Waterfall for exceptional bird-spotting opportunities

Darwin, Australia
jan 28, 2029
7:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Many travelers will think of Darwin as the jumping-off point for The Kimberley, the port is, of course, the gateway to the Northern Territory's famous 1,800-million-year-old red rocks, but Darwin has many other things to offer the day-tripper. Two of Australia's most spectacular National Parks (Kakadu and Litchfield) are within an easy drive of the city, so even if you don't want to get the full Kimberley experience, the ancient rock formations, lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, jumping crocodiles and breathtaking gorges give a bite-sized version of the region's natural diversity. If you prefer to stay in the city, expect a multicultural experience. Darwin is closer to Jakarta than Canberra, so local markets, cafes, and restaurants overflow with Asian influence.

While the town's proximity to the 1,430 mile (2,300 km) living coral reef is undoubtedly one of Airlie Beach's main attractions, you can easily enjoy a day soaking up the sun and enjoying the town's relaxed backpacker vibe. For those who prefer their wildlife to be above the ground, Conway National Park offers tropical rainforests, waterfalls, and 447 native species.

Brisbane, Australia
feb 04, 2029
7:00 AM - 6:00 PM
Sydney might have its beaches, Melbourne great shops and restaurants, and Queensland is famous for its coastline but Brisbane is blessed by a mix of all three, albeit on a smaller scale. This city has a dynamic culinary scene, with local specialties including Moreton Bay Bugs, a lightly seasoned barbequed lobster cooked in its shell. The city's relative youth (200 years) means that it's a city hungry for art, music, and literature, and a fundamental stop for culture vultures would be QAGOMA (Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art), which homes over 17,000 works including a fabulous selection of Aboriginal art.

Wellington, New Zealand
feb 10, 2029
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Arrive in Wellington and its ambitious spirit is clear to see in the skyline of shiny towers. Yet New Zealand's capital is a friendly place with an independent air, where just wandering around the streets is a pleasure, stopping for a great coffee or a glass of locally brewed craft beer. You can delve a little deeper into New Zealand's culture and history at the national museum, Te Papa Tongeriwa, on the waterfront, with stories and objects from pre-colonial days. In fact, at Zealandia, you can travel even further back in time – this urban eco-sanctuary is attempting to restore nature to its pre-human state. Movie fans won't want to miss a tour of the Weta Workshop, the film effects company that worked on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit among other blockbusters. But find time, too, for a ride on the cable car to the Kelburn Lookout for a spectacular overview.

It's all about the welcome in the beautiful port of Pago Pago (pronounced Pango Pango), on the shores of a deep natural harbor in the shadow of jungle-cloaked Mount Pioa – more lyrically known as Rainmaker Mountain. This is a place that has long-established, valued customs and traditions, passed down the generations over many centuries, where the offer of a drink made from the kava root has been turned into a ritual, Sunday is still a day of rest, and myths, legends and a turbulent history are shared through storytelling, dance, crafts and, of course, tattoos. But the capital of American Samoa is also a modern urban center with shops and sights including the Jean P. Haydon Museum, with its displays of war canoes, jewelry made from coconut shells and seeds, and a curious exhibition about the island chain's role in the U.S. Apollo Space Missions

10:00 AM - 11:00 PM
This halcyon island is as spiritual as it is beautiful. The second-largest of the Society Islands after Tahiti, Raiatea is the ancient ancestral home of the Polynesian people and, legend has it, the birthplace of gods. While neighboring Bora Bora is a magnet for visitors, Raiatea has a serenity that's unmatched, thanks in no small part to its sacred place in Polynesian history and culture. Learn more at Taputapuatea marae, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which would have been used as a ceremonial and social space, and a point where the human and spiritual worlds met. Elsewhere, while Raiatea doesn't have the impressive beaches found on other islands, its mountainous interior offers calf-stretching hikes with glorious views, while its impossible clear waters reward divers with shipwrecks and a colorful array of marine life.

Of all the curious places to visit in the world, Adamstown is surely one of the most intriguing. This tiny community is the only settlement in the four volcanic Pitcairn Islands, which are strewn across hundreds of miles of the largest marine reserve in the world. Its 35 residents are almost all descendants of the 18th-century mutineers from HMS Bounty and the Tahitians who accompanied them, event that will probably be the theme of your visit. The wreck of the sloop is still visible to scuba divers, there are canons and an anchor on display in and around the square, the local museum features a bible owned by Fletcher Christian, and the house of the son of Christian is still standing. The grave of the last surviving mutineer, John Adams, for whom this town is named, provides an obvious pilgrimage, as does Christian's Cave, which you can take an easy hike to, perhaps spying the Pitcairn reed warbler on your way. Other natural highlights include a refreshing dip in the sea pool, spotting whales, and stargazing – unsurprisingly, this remote spot is an International Dark Sky Sanctuary.

Rapa Nui, the indigenous name of Easter Island, astounds with sights unlike anywhere else in the world. The creative Polynesian inhabitants of the 13th to 16th centuries built monumental stone statues, known as moai, of which 1,000 still dot the island. Carved human figures with massive heads, they represent ancestral chiefs facing inland to protect the community. Some are lined up in imposing rows (Ahu Tongariki, Ahu Nau Nau), others are staggered over hillsides and craters. What boggles the mind is how the inhabitants of this incredibly remote island, 2,300 miles (3,700km) from the Chilean coast, managed to carve and move such colossal sentinels, many weighing between 10 and 12 metric tons. Solidified volcanic ash was their material and ropes, levers, and log rollers believed to be their method. Beyond the statues, petroglyphs depicting birdmen can be seen at Orongo Ceremonial Village. Today's occupants live in Hanga Roa village, your welcoming entry to this astonishing island.

“Hiss, rumble, crack” is the soundtrack to intrepid excursions around this coastal lake in one of Chile's largest national parks. These are the sounds of glaciers “sighing”, a natural occurrence for these moving ice sheets – here it's the 30,000-year-old San Valentín glacier, where Zodiacs get up-close views of its 60-meter face. While humans are rendered awe-struck by such a sight, the seals lounging on icebergs nearby take no notice. These fjords, the geology of which Charles Darwin once observed on his Beagle voyage, are also home to sea lions and sea leopards. Perhaps he, too, ended the day with a Scotch chilled with chunks of ice from that millennia-old glacier.

Santarém, one of the oldest cities on the Amazon, is where the waters of the Tapajós and the Amazon rivers meet – take in the view of their respective blue and brown waters blending from the observation tower in the Mirante do Tapajós. Originally the home of the Tapajós people, by 1661 the Portuguese colonists had claimed Santarém in the name of Afonso VI. Both influences can still be explored – Tapajós pottery is on display at the João Fona Cultural Center and the twin-towered baroque cathedral is a prime example of Portuguese colonial architecture. Don't miss the story of the late Dica Frazãu at the museum in her name, a designer who became internationally renowned for the clothes and fabrics she created from natural fibres for royalty and popes.

A penal colony was built on all three of the Salvation Islands, with Devil's Island being reserved for political prisoners, including Captain Alfred Dreyfus, who was unjustly charged with spying for Germany. Conditions were notoriously terrible, with violence and disease rampant.

3 EXCURSIONS
Candy-colored houses and sugar-sand beaches give this sweet port town a fairytale appeal. One of the quieter spots on this island, the Samana Peninsula allows easy access to coves and bays straight out of a picture book. Playa Payita, known to the locals as The Little Lagoon, offers aquamarine water to dip into and the shade of bamboo and banana leaf umbrellas to retreat beneath. Playa Fronton, with its coconut palms and backdrop of black rock, is the perfect place to snorkel amid schools of parrotfish, nemos, and sunfish. But the big draw is the humpback whales that visit in winter – there's even a museum dedicated to the awesome creatures. Back on dry land, Los Haitises National Park, home to enchanting caves and ndangered birds, is a pretty place to hike, bike or kayak.Indulging in Samana's coconut-infused and zesty fresh seafood delicacies, taking a boat to the secluded beach at Playa Madama, spotting manatees amongst the mangroves in Los Haitises.

Plymouth, United Kingdom

Anchor
Located in the southwest of England, Plymouth is a coastal town known for its maritime attractions and indie shopping culture. Home of the famous gin brand, its distilleries are open for tours and, after that, you can visit the city's colorful art galleries and refined restaurants.
You would be hard pressed to find a city with a more significant naval heritage than Portsmouth. The world's oldest dry dock, it is home to some of history's most storied ships, including Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, HMS Victory; Henry VII's Tudor warship, Mary Rose; and the world's first iron hulled armored ship, HMS Warrior. The city also has impressive cultural and entertainment credentials. It is the birthplace of author Charles Dickens and comedian Peter Sellers and has served as a shooting location for a variety of films, including the James Bond installment, Tomorrow Never Dies. For all its high-level associations, Portsmouth remains a wonderfully low-key destination. Enjoy a pass along the cobbled streets of the shopping district or step aboard a high-speed elevator of the Spinnaker Tower, the sail-inspired observation tower that rises 560 feet above the port to showcase magnificent views.
