| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Not just for zealous co-eds, whether you're a student reveling in a mini-break from studying, a family with the kids home for a week, or a couple with Spring Fever, a Spring Break trip is a tradition celebrated across the country by donning your best beach hat and sipping a tropical frozen drink. The ideal destination has white sandy beaches, exotic fruits, and palm trees to complete the scenery. But you don't just want to lay on the beach- you want thrills and excitement. Paradise with a side of adventure.


San Juan, Puerto Rico


An easy direct flight from most US hub cities, Puerto Rico offers some of the more active adventure options around- whether scuba, snorkeling, hiking or zip lining tickles your fancy, from family-friendly to romantic rendezvous in the rainforest, there is something for everyone for a quick week-long spring break journey. Plus, you have the benefit that they take American dollars and speak English.

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

The "first city" of the New World, Santo Domingo offers a Safari adventure Spring Break through the beautiful countryside of the Dominican Republic. Explore the tropical savannah of the river "Chavon", the sugar cane fields and the jungle of "El Bonao." Board a Catamaran, tour a tobacco plant (try not to get caught sneaking the cigars back into the US), or take an ocean-side bike ride.
