Best Countries to Visit on your Spring Break

Where? The Galápagos

What? For an unforgettable family holiday, consider a voyage into the Galápagos aboard an expedition yacht. We have access to a fantastic selection of vessels including the luxurious MV Evolve. On this intimate and luxurious 16-passenger vessel, you’ll enjoy the highlights of the Galápagos while exploring remote islands few get to experience – all over the course of a week-long spring break.

Why? We all know that the wildlife here delivers, but the setting is also extremely beautiful and rich in both history and fascinating tales of the early inhabitants, all of which will be brought to life by your expert guides. Each day in the Galápagos offers a dazzling array of activities, from snorkelling, hiking and swimming to exploring beaches, kayaking and paddle boarding. While the underwater world is brimming with wildlife to explore – schools of fish, golden eagles rays, sting rays, white-tipped sharks and Galápagos sharks – there’s also plenty to keep you busy on the MV Evolve. Chill out in the sun, hit the gym or snuggle up in the library, before a recap of the day’s adventures from your guide and a sensational dinner.

Where? Guatemala + Belize

What? For an immersive Central American family holiday, combine the highlights of Guatemala and Belize into one action-packed half term itinerary. 

Why? With ancient cultures, adventure activities, tropical wildlife and beaches, Guatemala and Belize offer families interactive options for fun and cultural learning. Guatemala is steeped in Mayan and Spanish colonial history and is home to a beautiful medley of towering volcanoes, tropical forest, mountainous highland, charming colonial towns and enigmatic ruins. English-speaking Belize, meanwhile, is a melting pot of cultures and has a laid-back Caribbean vibe and a glorious coastline. From wandering the colourful colonial streets of Antigua and sampling delicious street food such as pupusas and chuchito, to zip-lining through jungles, learning traditional crafts and exploring the world’s second largest barrier reef, this vacation will blow you away. 

Where? La Paz, Mexico    

What? The capital of Mexico’s Baja California Sur, La Paz is home to a world of unforgettable experiences in one divine destination. La Paz means “peace”, and this really is the perfect place to unwind, reconnect with nature and awaken your senses.
 

Why? One notable benefit La Paz offers for Spring Break is its distinct lack of crowds compared to Cabo, its neighbour just two hours south. Instead of joining the bustling all-night festivities in Cabo, consider veering in the opposite direction for a serene retreat, embracing tranquility and indulging in laid-back luxury.

From glamping beneath a million stars, chartering a private yacht to sail you across the sparkling Sea of Cortez, christened “the world’s aquarium” by oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, or unwinding at any number of opulent beachfront resorts and spas, you’ll revel in the diverse splendour on offer in La Paz. From water sports galore and swimming with extraordinary marine species such as the majestic whale shark or playful sea lions to sampling exquisite local cuisine and exploring laid-back coastal towns such as El Pescadero and Todos Santos, expect to fall in love with a different kind of luxury here.
