5 Nights Caribbean, Eastern

This vast array of wonderful beaches offers you opportunities to swim with the dolphins in a tropical lagoon and come face-to-face with alligators during an Everglades airboat tour. Or stroll through a tropical rainforest while hundreds of butterflies flutter above you.

Turks and Caicos is an excellent destination for divers and snorklers. Smith's Reef in Provo is one of the area's most popular dive spots, thanks to a diverse collection of sea creatures in a spectrum of electric colors. For a completely different vibe, explore the black coral and submerged overhangs of Black Forest or kayak the bright turquoise waters of Chalk Sound. Both the Caicos Conch Farm and the bird sanctuary on uninhabited French Cay offer unique ways to commune with local wildlife.

Bimini is just seven miles long and barely 700 feet wide at its widest point. It began as a rendezvous for rumrunners and wreckers who plundered the ships that ran aground reefs. Today, the wrecks of Spanish galleons make for fascinating dive sites, as do black coral reefs and a mysterious stone formation alleged to be the lost continent of Atlantis.
