If you are someone who loves water, the world is absolutely full of fantastic holiday destinations. Whether you want to be doing exciting activities in it, on it or just lazing around next to it, the following great ideas are sure to hit the spot for that lover of water. Try one or all of them and treat yourself to that holiday you’ve been dreaming of.

The Mekong River (Vietnam)

For a relaxing and beautiful holiday, spend a week touring the length of this amazing river, extending from Vietnam to Cambodia. Start off by spending the night in one of the luxury Vietnam hotels, before boarding your charming river boat vessel in Saigon. Settle in, then slowly make your way down river while taking in the awesome sights of the countryside, markets, temples, and wetlands. You will never forget this magical and diverse landscape.

Fiji

For more of an ‘in the water’ experience, immerse your self in these warm, blue waters, and do some scuba diving here in Fiji. Holiday packages here will often include diving options and there is a huge amount to explore. Offering underwater caves, soft coral reefs and numerous ship wrecks, you won’t want to come out of these crystal clear waters where visibility can reach 40 meters. For something even more amazing, do a night dive and see the ocean like you’d never believe.

Broken Group Islands (Canada)

Located off the west coast of Canada, this is one of the best places on earth to go paddling. You won’t have the warm waters of Fiji, but the feeling of being far away from everyone and everything will have you feeling relaxed and unwound. Apart from the spectacular clear waters, paddling here will give you the best chance of an up close look at a Humpback or even a Killer Whale.

Victoria Falls (Zambia/Zimbabwe)

For an experience that will leave you astonished by the power of water, a trip to Victoria Falls is unlike anything else. Stretching over 1700 metres across and more than 100 meters high, these falls showcase the largest sheet of water of any falls in the world. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya, meaning ‘the Smoke that Thunders’, you will never forget the enormous roar and the spectacle of these incredible falls.

The Gold Coast (Australia)

If your love of water has anything to do with playing in it, you need to get to the Gold Coast. An absolute paradise for surfing, this area has some of the most consistently good waves in the world and has something for every board rider, from the beginner to the professional. When you have got your fill of the waves, you will have no trouble settling into one of the luxury high rises and watching the sun set over the ocean.

Over 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water, so it’s no surprise that we are intrigued by it. Regardless of how you do it, get to these places and be amazed by their water wonderlands.
