The 8 most amazing places to travel to in February

Maybe you didn’t get a chance to get away in the December holidays and maybe you’re fed up with being stuck in one place. Maybe you just need an adventure!

Here are 8 of the most amazing destinations to go to this February…

Captiva & Sanibel Islands – Florida

These two islands are both located on Florida’s Gulf Coast and they’re perfect if you want a tropical getaway without going to the Caribbean. Sanibel is more rustic with everyone riding around on bikes, and Captiva is more upscale with beautiful waterfront houses.

New Zealand

The urban city of Auckland, which is known for its craft beer, fashion and delicious food, deserves a visit before you head to Wellington. There you will find volcanic plateaus, rolling farmlands and gorgeous beaches.

Stowe – Vermont

Stowe has a wide appeal, whether you’re a seasoned skier or a total newbie. This folksy downtown is filled with lively ski-bars, awesome restaurants and it’s the home to the Ben & Jerry’s factory.

Costa Rica

February is the dry season in Costa Rica, which makes it the perfect time to explore the lush rain forests. Start by hitting up the natural hot springs and zip line through the forest, then head about three hours west and spend some time in the beautiful beach town, Tamarindo.

Santa Fe – New Mexico

You’ll find few tourists, but plenty of charm in Santa Fe in February. Most days you can spend your time skiing, visiting art galleries and antiquing. Don’t miss the authentic New Mexican, off-the-beaten-path La Choza, where you can chow down on frito pie and green chile stew!

Marrakech – Morocco

Despite the blistering heat in Marrakech, there are fewer crowds in February. Explore Arabic-style gardens, local art galleries and Moorish culture. But do bring a jacket – temps can drop quite low at night.

Mendoza – Argentina

Wine lovers prepare, Argentina’s equivalent of Napa Valley is Mendoza, and it comes alive in February. Taste the fantastic Malbec, go horseback riding through the hills and watch the locals dance in the city’s outdoor plazas.

St John

Do you just want to sit on the beach and relax? St. John is possible the most accessible and affordable Caribbean island. Long white beaches and clear blue waters, it’s relaxing just thinking about it.

Pack your bags, whether you’re a beach bum, an adventurer or a snow bunny. There are eight great places to go this February.

Visiting Cape Town this February? Airport Shuttle can get you to or from Cape Town International Airport quickly and comfortably!

The 7 best places to travel in 2016

It’s the end of the year, so we’ve got holiday getaways on the brain, but not just any old boring getaways; we’re looking for something out of the ordinary! Somewhere that will fuel our passion for travel, but hasn’t been affected by mass tourism.

These seven off-the-beaten-path places are at the top of the 2016 travel list.

GREENLAND
Next is going to be all about Greenland, which is so off the grid your cell phone probably won’t even work! If you love the outdoors then this is the place for you, where the locals travel by dogsled and snowmobile, plus the first-ever Arctic Winter Games will be held in Greenland in March.

BAVARIA, GERMANY
Bavaria has a vibe that will remind you of the Sound of Music. The region has breathtaking scenery, an easy-going feel and a charming culture. Tour the world-class galleries in Munich, and then enjoy beer with the locals – this is by far one of Germany’s best states.

RIVIERA NAYARIT, MEXICO
In 2016, visit the part of Mexico that is free of tourists. Riviera Nayarit is the home to the surfer town of Sayulita, which is the perfect snapshot of what many think is authentic Mexico. Along the streets, you’ll find amazing foods, like fish tacos and beaches that have some of the best waves.

BOTSWANA, AFRICA
Awash with national parks, Botswana is great on a high or low budget, in the dry or green season. This destination is suitable for you whether you are an adventurer or not, but be warned: it won’t remain undiscovered for long, so book a flight now!

KAUAU, HAWAII
Looking for beauty and adventure? Add the Hawaiian island of Kauai to your itinerary. Not only is it the oldest of the main Islands, it’s also the greenest because of its lush rain forests and gorgeous vegetation.

KOTOR, MONTENEGRO
This Mediterranean is beautiful from every single angle. Travel in the city walls and sip coffee, munch on warm bread and stroll along the maze of alleys and paved paths. Better still, the cruise ships have yet to overwhelm, so get to Kotor before they drop anchor!

PALAU
This is a prime spot for underwater lovers that enjoy snorkeling, diving or just exploring the deep blue sea. Loads of wreckage from the war still remains scattered throughout the islands, so you can explore while you scuba dive. The coolest spot is Jellyfish Lake, where a subspecies of jellyfish travel across the water in a repeated daily pattern.

From the beautiful Mexican beaches to the undiscovered Palau islands, these seven destinations are the places to be in 2016.
