Spirit Island, Lake Maligne, Canada

No landmark so perfectly epitomizes the Canada Rockies like world-famous Spirit Island on Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park . The 90 minute scenic cruise to this diminutive jewel has been crowned as the "BEST BOAT TOUR IN CANADA" by 8 million Reader's Digest subscribers.

Located at the south end of the Maligne Lake Road, a gorgeous, wildlife-filled, 48 km drive from the town site of Jasper, Maligne Lake offers a myriad of activities to visitors. In addition to the Spirit Island scenic cruise, visitors may rent canoes and kayaks, fish for trout and hike. All adventures begin at the Maligne Lake Day Lodge where the full length windows capture the glacier clad mountains encircling the lake.

Fihalhohi Island, Maldives

Finalhohi is the last island of South Male and is located on the south western rim of Male Atoll, approximately 28 km away from the Male International Airport. Transfer time to the resort by speedboat takes just 60 minutes.

Lush green natural foliage and hundreds of shady cocnut palm trees fringed by white sandy beaches cover an area of around 80,000 sqm of land, where just enough has been done to make your holiday comfortable without disturbing the beauty and natural enchantment of the island.

Fihalhohi presents a carefully protected turquoise blue lagoon, bordered by a coral reef easily accessed by swimming where scuba diving or snorkelling is an experience to be had.
