The Maldives

Maldives, Location: Situated off Sri Lanka, the worlds smallest Asian country and and the lowest, made up of 1190 coral islands.

Famous for: White sandy beaches and crystal clear waters.

When to go: The temperature is pretty consistent throughout the year, but there are two distinct seasons here, the dry season (January  – March) and the rainy season (May – November) Having traveled in both seasons, I would have to say that the rainy season is probably my favourite, but to be honest the temperature is so good year round that it makes little difference.

Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands
Location : off the coast of Equador
Famous for: Wildlife & the inspiration for Darwin's evolutionary theory
When to go: Any time of year, have a look at the wildlife you want to see most and check when they are most prevalent, for instance you may want to see the frigate birds in their breeding season, or like wise the blue footed boobies during their mating dance...
