Whenever the summer season comes around, millions of men, women and children from all over the world start to daydream about their forthcoming vacations. For the majority of them, the break involves little more than a week or two of relaxation under a hot sun. This isn’t everyone’s idea of a good holiday, however, purely because some of us like to be a little more active, and like to explore our chosen destinations when we get the chance.

One of the best ways to soak up the sights and sounds of a holiday region is by experiencing it on foot. Hiking, whether as part of a larger group or with just one or two companions, is great fun and can be tailored to suit every individual. Even experienced hikers who are capable of covering large areas will tell you the journey isn’t a race – it exists to be enjoyed and savoured, so there’s never any need to rush.

Anyone who is planning to arrange a hiking holiday will be delighted to know there are dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of excellent destinations to choose from. Anywhere that offers spectacular views amid eye-catching landscapes is likely to be popular, but those in the know realise that few places can match the all-round beauty, not to mention the comprehensive diversity, of the Canary Islands.

Plenty of Organised Walks

Although part of the Kingdom of Spain, the Canaries are closer to Africa than they are to Europe. The local terrain is flat in places and hilly in others, making it ideal for walkers of all abilities. It goes without saying that the islands have been catering for travellers for many decades, so there is a robust tourist infrastructure in place, a fact that will come as welcome news to hikers who are in need of a comfortable base in which to start and finish their days.

There are plenty of organised walking tours available, but if you simply want to make your own arrangements that won’t be a problem. Some of the most spectacular trails will reward the walker with views of mountains to one side and seascapes to the other. Be sure to bring a camera with you because you will want to record these images forever.

What do Oprah Winfrey, Eric Clapton, and Giorgio Armani all have in common? They each have winter homes on the island of Antigua.

Reportedly this is Oprah’s estate in Antigua

As you can see in the picture above, with that type of natural beauty, it’s obvious why the rich and famous come to this beautiful island nestled in the eastern Caribbean. But the good news is that you don’t have to be a millionaire to visit – it’s a perfect destination for everyone.

The island is 281 sq. km (108 sq mi) and has a population of around 88,000. The great explorer Christopher Columbus himself is who named the island on his second voyage in 1492 – “Antigua” means “ancient” in Spanish.

Map of Antigua

Part One: Getting there (and getting around once you arrive)

In the city of St. John’s is V.C. Bird International Airport, which is the only public airport on the island and where you will be flying into. The major airlines that have flights to/from Antigua are: Delta, American Airlines, US Airways, United, Virgin Atlantic, and British Airways.

Once your plane arrives, there are around a dozen places to rent a car. But as someone who has visited the island, my recommendation would probably be to get around by taxi and tour buses instead. Why? Because the roads are rough, the drivers aren’t the best, and you don’t want to pay for damage to a rental car. But make sure you have cash on hand, because the taxis probably won’t accept credit cards.

Part Two: Choosing a hotel or resort

So which hotel is best? Well, the answer depends on what you’re looking for. There are dozens of places to stay, ranging from affordable to high-end luxury hotels. As examples, here are two places that Fodor’s recommends:

• Siboney Beach Club – On the corner of Dickenson Bay, this is a lower cost option. There are no TVs in the aging rooms – but then again – with a beautiful beach why would you want to watch TV?
• Curtain Bluff – For a luxury hotel (with a high-price) then you may wish to consider this resort, which is also ranked 5 stars by Trip Advisor. There are tons of activities on the property, ranging from tennis courts to scuba diving.

In addition to pricing, you also will want to take into account what amenities are nearby your hotel.

Part Three: Things To Do

1. The Beaches

First and foremost, the beaches are where you should be spending the majority of your time. Their motto is “365 beaches, 1 for every day of the year” so there are plenty of them for you to visit!

It’s hard to pick out the “best” because they’re all so stunning, but if you read reviews online you will see that the Galley Bay Beach is perhaps the most famous. It’s on the western side of the island. Sea turtles are often known to lay their eggs there and many say this beach has the best surfing waves on the island.

Another noteworthy beach that should be on your list is Stingray City, where you can swim with real stingrays!

2. Historical Sites

The island has a rich history – you can view buildings and other historical sites spanning several centuries.

Among the top spots on your list should be Nelson’s Dockyard National Park, which offers some of the most stunning views in all of Antigua.

Nelson’s Dockyard

Betty’s Hope in St. John’s is a sugar plantation, founded in 1674, that was operated by slaves. It has been setup as an historical site and is definitely worth checking out. While you’re in St. Johns, Fort Barrington is another must-see attraction, as it was built by the British in 1779 for protection against the French. So you can understand the history better, before you see any of the historical sites it might be wise to visit the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda (also in St. Johns) so you can learn all about the island.

3. Shopping

If you’re up for some shopping, there are plenty of places to go. According to the island’s official website, “the best deals are to be found at Heritage and Redcliffe Quays.”

The local currency is the East Caribbean dollar (XCD). To give you an idea of the currency conversion, about 1 XCD = 2.7 USD. Credit card acceptance will be limited to Visa and MasterCard (sometimes American Express) at the larger retailers and restaurants. If you plan on paying with a plastic, a no foreign transaction fee credit card might be a good idea to avoid the costs of currency conversion.

However at the smaller and independent merchants, credit cards won’t be accepted and you will need to have paper currency available. Many will accept US dollars too, so don’t feel the need to convert all of your money to the local currency.

4. Natural Landmarks

The beaches aren’t the only natural landmarks to see!

Devil’s Bridge is the name given to natural limestone arches which were formed through erosion from the saltwater. Although it may look beautiful, it has a dark history as it is rumored to be the location of mass suicides by slaves centuries ago.

Mount Obama (which was named after President Obama in 2009) is the highest peak on the island. It is located on the southwest side and will require an hour hike or so to reach the highest location.

The Caribbean may not be everybody’s first choice as a destination for a bachelor holiday, but when you weigh up all the reasons for going there, you will see that it makes perfect sense. If you have the time and finances to spare, then any of the fabulous countries in this region would make fora stag break that you will remember forever.

Taking Time Out

Clearly, a trip to the Caribbean isn’t typical for stag nights, but in many ways that is why it is such a big attraction. There is still a vast amount of fun and entertainment to be found here, but without the huge crowds and identikit stag parties that you might find in other locations.

You won’t necessarily be able to get there and back in a weekend either, but the islands are closer than you think. If you can spare a longer period of time, this is the place to be.

The Main Attractions

One of the biggest problems faced by any stag party can often be the lack of anything entertaining to do during the day. However, that certainly isn’tthe case on any of the islands in the Caribbean. Inactivity and inertia just leads to boredom and that is one thing that nobody is allowed to endure here.

As you might expect, there are some fabulous costal-based activities and in particular there is some excellent scuba diving to be found. Fishing, water skiing, windsurfing or just a speed-boat trip can also be enjoyed during your stay. Although the islands haven’t quite embraced stag-night activities as they have in some parts of the world, it is still possible to find what are becoming traditional pastimes for stag parties, such as quad biking and off-road driving.

Alternatively, the golf in the Caribbean is also excellent and spectator sports such as football and cricket are well worth catching up with if you possibly can.

Of course, if you just want to relax during the day, there is no better backdrop than the Caribbean, with its glorious beaches and near-perfect weather.

What to See

On most stag nights there is little time for sightseeing, but if you do get the chance there is plenty to see across the Caribbean.

Architecture in some of the towns and cities is fascinating, with many colonial buildings well-preserved and still fully functioning. Elsewhere, thenatural landscape can also be breath taking, with many beautiful mountains and beaches to explore.

Night Time

This is when any Caribbean island comes alive and, for many, any of the islands can claim to be the party capital of the world. Any form of entertainment you want can be found here, with lively bars and quality restaurants to begin your evening, followed by a choice of some of the bestnight clubs.

Floating clubs are popular too, with many organised boat trips setting sail with music and partying galore. Alternatively, you can join in with one ofthe many night-time beach parties that are organised across the region.

Overall, there are many reasons why any part of the Caribbean would make a perfect location for a truly memorable bachelor holiday. Everything you could possibly want is here, with exciting day-time activities and an incredible night life to provide all your entertainment. It’s simply impossible not to enjoy yourself.

Many will know Croatia for its more traditional holiday attractions; its crystal clear turquoise water, rocky coves, ancient castles and cobbled streets, for example. Its climate of mild winters and long warm summers have cemented Croatia as a firm holiday favourite. Croatia holidays are, however, also growing in popularity amongst party-goers.

The beautiful historic town of Hvar

The ‘Land of a Thousand Islands’ has become a mainstream summer holiday destination in recent years. Ten million tourists annually enjoy the winning formula of reliable weather, low prices and accessibility. Croatia’s appeal is well and truly proven. Wandering the ancient towns winding streets as the sun sets and the music starts, you get a glimpse at the beginning of a very long night. The Roman ruins come to life with the pulse of nocturnal twenty-something year olds. Ancient towns such as Hvar are popular for bars and clubs right on the harbour, followed by after parties on the beach.

Hvar town is set around the large public St Stephen’s Square, which is open to the harbour; perfect for mooring up and a relaxing evening in the historical town. Those looking for party spots should check out Veneranda, one of Europe’s largest open-air venues set in an old fortress. Set on a hillside, the rooftop views down towards the moonlit beach are beautiful.

Further up the Dalmatian coast is the party island of Pag. Last summer Pag island hosted the first ever Hideout Festival, an electronic music festival set around Zrce beach. Hideout 2011 proved so popular that the festival is returning this summer on a bigger scale. Chase & Status, Sub Focus, Toddla T, Annie Mac, and DJ Fresh are amongst the extensive line-up for 2012. The chilled-out atmosphere and fun-filled open-air clubs are likely to reconfirm Pag as a firm favourite amongst party-goers fed up with the astronomical prices of Ibiza.

Once all the bars, beach parties, and clubs have been explored, fear not! On the Dalmatian coast alone there is still a huge amount left to discover. Summer holidays are a great chance to explore this sunny coastline. Taking the local ferries to island hop is a fantastic way to visit the seaside towns sprinkled around this area, and appreciate the stunning scenery. The olive groves, vineyards, and pine forests make for a typically Mediterranean backdrop to the culture rich towns of Split and Dubrovnik. Fruit orchards and lavender fields are also found along this stretch of coastline, and make for wonderful walks and photo opportunities. For the active-minded, cycling is a good way to see this coastline, and bikes are allowed on the ferries. Trekking around the national parks in the mountains is a popular activity, as is the multitude of water sports available at the shoreline. Snorkelling, diving, and windsurfing, are all accessible, alongside the more obscure water sports.

Think of a South Pacific vacation and odds are that Tahiti or Fiji comes to mind. Although those destinations are indeed stunning and beautiful, there are hundreds of additional places in the South Pacific that are equally impressive. If you are considering an upcoming holiday in the South Pacific, get off the beaten track and explore some unique destinations. Islands which are still pristine, natural and let the visitor understand the culture. At the same time, tourists can relax in unparalleled scenery, taste exotic cuisine and swim in crystal clear waters. Not to mention, you can still find excellent travel deals to many of these destinations. For three unusual South Pacific vacations, consider the islands of Palau, Samoa and Yap.

The breath-taking view of Palau Islands

Palau: The group of islands known as Palau is not officially associated with Micronesia, but is in that region of the Pacific Ocean. Little is known about the history and the culture of the people who traditionally have called Palau home prior to the 18th century. Since then, travelers from around the world have been enamored by the stunning tropical islands and friendly local people. Most visitors plan to enjoy water sports while in the islands. The area is known for world class scuba diving and snorkeling, as well as kayaking and fishing. The food is a unique blend from all cultures, with an emphasis on local ingredients and Asian preparation techniques.

The alluring sunset in Samoa- a sight that surely stimulates your senses and rejuvenates your soul.

Samoa: Roughly halfway between the nation of New Zealand and the Hawaiian Islands is another island chain known as Samoa. While it is believed that the islands were inhabited for over three thousand years, it was not until 1830 that Europeans discovered Samoa. Today, tourists from around the world frequent the stunning islands, specifically the two larger ones called Upolu and Savaii. Many of the most popular attractions are natural scenery like the many waterfalls, national parks, blowholes in the volcanic rock and traditional villages found in the dense vegetation. As it is now a popular tourism destination, there are also upscale accommodations, international dining, golf and shopping opportunities on the island.

One of the fine thoroughfares leading to Yap attractions

Yap: This island chain is part of the Federated States of Micronesia, and is known for being of the best scuba diving sites in the South Pacific. The major city of Colonia boasts interesting architecture that combines local Micronesian style with European traditions. Along with diving, the most common pastimes include relaxing on the beach, enjoying hiking or walking around the villages and meeting the local population. The island is famously known for their stone money which is nearly impossible to use. However, credit cards and US dollars are readily accepted around most of the island.
