Hand feed and allow parrots to perch on your hand while visiting this tourist destination on Keri Island.
If you are eager to learn of the New Zealand culture, sail over to Paihia Island and visit the Waitangi Treaty grounds, where you can see a tribal carved meeting house and war canoe and experience the true local culture with its vast history.
Australian Whitsunday Islands
Sailing from New Zealand, the next stop is the Australian Whitsunday Islands, located on the Great Barrier Reef.
Just the mention of the Great Barrier Reef brings thoughts of underwater sightseeing. Dropping anchor in the Whitsunday Islands invites scuba diving, or at least snorkeling, allowing you to become one with the vast array of spectacularly colored fish and corals that await your visit.

Vietnam
Traveling north, our next top sailing destination around the globe is Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay. With islets and islands totaling well over 1500, make time to enjoy the different land formations each have to offer.
Castaway Island is highly recommended when sailing since it provides a scenic view of Vietnam’s many islands.
Also, while visiting Ha Long Bay, take a moment to go on the mainland to explore one of many underground wonders located in Vietnam, like the cavernous Dau Go Cave.
To visit this tourist destination, instead of traveling down to enter the cave, you go in the opposite direction. Travel up the stairs to the entranceway and view well-lighted artistic formations sculpted from the passing of time.
You will satisfy your adventurous spirit with this top sailing destination around the globe.
Greek Islands
