The jungles of Borneo are legendary for their diversity of flora and fauna including 90 species of mammals such as the Borneo orangutan (the only great ape found in Asia), and the critically endangered Borneo pygmy elephant and Sumatran rhinoceros. Just off the coast of Borneo, there is also another “jungle” of sorts in the Celebes Sea. Here you will find the tiny islands of Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai, which offer some of the world’s best scuba diving. Dive operators on Mabul and Kapalai offer exclusive access for divers to visit the reefs of the uninhabited island of Sipadan, now a Marine Protected Area and home to a prolific number of green and hawksbill sea turtles. Combine a stay in an overwater bungalow in the Celebes Sea with a stay in a lodge in the jungles of Borneo for the best of both worlds.

Caradonna Adventures Dominica: Land of Whales, Waterfalls and Volcanos
You might think you’ve landing in a movie set for Jurassic Park, but no… Dominica is just that lush and wild. With tropical rainforests covering two thirds of the island, and mountains ascending to over 4,700 feet, the island is known as “The Nature Island”, and for good reason. There are NINE, yes I said NINE, active volcanos on Dominica, and there are still descendants of the Carib Indians, the Kalinago, living in an area of Dominica and preserving their traditional lifestyle. In the sea surrounding Dominica, there also exists a wilderness in which some of the planet’s most impressive creatures are commonly encountered. The deep water along Dominica’s west coast provides a sheltered area for a large group of resident sperm whales to mate and socialize, and whale watching has become a major year-round activity. To top it all off, for certified divers, the reefs surrounding Dominica are healthy, colorful, and well worth exploring.
7-night Dive & Explore packages start at only $1,308 pp/dbl at Fort Young Hotel and include a free room upgrade to oceanfront, breakfast daily, 5 days of 2-tank diving, a whale watching tour, hot springs and waterfall tour, free WiFi, roundtrip airport transfers, hotel taxes and service charges. Valid for travel 8/1/15-12/15/15. Contact Caradonna Adventures to arrange an adventure-filled vacation to Dominica.
