Auckland, New Zealand
The “City of Sails,” known for its sparkling
waters, bustling harbor, and cosmopolitan
flair, is an ideal spot for water sports and
sailing. A total of 48 dormant volcanoes are
situated within Auckland, making it a lush,
leafy city that’s perhaps best viewed from the
360-degree observation platform atop the
1,076 ft. Sky Tower. At ground level, visit the
city’s renowned art galleries and stroll through
the beautiful, expansive parks.

Ensenada, Mexico
The Riviera Pacifica, with the Bar of the
Seven Sins, boasts a colorful past as the
former playgrounds of California gentry and
movie stars. Festive shops and a former
prison that now serves as an Aztec
museum are just a few highlights of this
Baja Peninsula favorite.
Bay of Islands,
New Zealand
Surrounded by beaches considered some of
the best in the world, with perfect white sand
and crystal-clear water, Bay of Islands is home
to the Waitangi National Reserve and known
as the Birthplace of a Nation. Many consider
this the ideal place to try out an active
pastime or two, such as kayaking, sailing,
and swimming with dolphins. Or, if beach
relaxation is what you’re after, pull up a
lounge chair and soak in the surroundings.

With white-sand beaches and valleys covered
