And with Orlando’s theme park sprawl only an hour away, you can easily mingle with your favorite characters. Beyond the parks lie equally amusing gems packed with Old Florida character. Kayak past manatees in the Banana River Lagoon and zip line above alligators at Brevard Zoo. Discover notable art museums and Park Avenue’s ritzy charm.

When you take a cruise to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands, you might envision that you’re pulling into paradise — and you wouldn’t be the first. Christopher Columbus made landfall here in 1492 on Guanahani Beach. Nearly 500 years later, astronaut John Glenn splashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast when he hurtled from space as the first person to orbit the Earth in 1962. A trip to Grand Turk is bursting with monumental experiences. As you take in the island’s natural appeal, don’t forget to pay attention to its history with a visit to the Turks and Caicos National Museum. Visitors can learn about the
islands’ native Lucayan culture as well as its salt-raking industry. Head into the water on a snorkeling or diving adventure to observe the island’s reefs and wrecks firsthand. Make sure that water experiences are at the top of your list of things to do in Grand Turk.

Puerto Plata caters to those searching for an authentic Dominican Republic experience. Visit the coffee and cacao plantations, swim in the clear waters, and indulge in either island tranquility or fast-paced beach attractions. Here you can walk the Malecon with locals, visit majestic mansions, and take in the impressive views from Mount Isabel de Torres.
