San Francisco in 3 days
The legendary Golden Gate Bridge, the famous Alcatraz prison, the Pacific Ocean coast, the Transamerica Pyramid, historical cable cars, the contrast between the modern wealthy world and the poor one, and a plethora of sea lions - all of this and more can be experienced in San Francisco. We stopped here for 3 days during our trip to French Polynesia and Bora Bora, so we'll try to summarize all our tips and top attractions for you.
Chile – General advices
Chile is not a typical holiday destination for Slovaks. However, it is definitely not because it has nothing to offer. In the north, the landscapes are out of this world, with salt flats, geysers, wind-carved canyons, volcanoes, salt lakes, and thermal springs.
Dominican Republic – December in the Caribbean
Imagine an endless white beach with azure blue water, mixed drinks from morning till night, sailing on a catamaran to a pirate island, or riding on buggies. Had enough of the provocation? This dream came true for us thanks to Swiss Air. We had four destinations to choose from - the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Maldives, and Mauritius. In the end, the Caribbean won and we can share our experiences with you.
Hawaii – 19 Days in Paradise 3/3 – Return to Oahu
Our return to Oahu passed by very quickly. This time, from the right side of the plane, we could see the islands of Maui, Lanai, and Molokai, where lepers were once exiled. We are looking forward to exploring the North Shore, the world's largest natural maze at Pineapple Garden Maze, the east and southeast parts of the island with beautiful white beaches, and of course Waikiki.
Hawaii – 19 days in paradise 2/3 – The biggest and most diverse Big...
The Big Island (Hawaii) is the most diverse island, and that was one of the main reasons why we chose it. The western side of the island offers the most beautiful beaches, the eastern side tropical forests and waterfalls. The island's highest mountain, Mauna Kea, has an elevation of 4205m above sea level. However, if measured from its underwater base, it is the tallest mountain in the world with a total height of 10,203m.
Hawaii – 19 days in paradise 1/3 – Modern and beautiful Oahu
The Hawaiian Islands consist of 4 main islands - Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island. The name Hawai'i in Hawaiian means "home of the gods". The tropical climate on the Hawaiian Islands has two seasons: the rainy season (October to April) and the dry season (May to September). The water temperature hovers around a pleasant 25°C.
Cancun – Relax on white beaches of the azure Caribbean
For some people, Mexico means tequila, for others a group of musicians with sombreros, or a tropical paradise where we can discover traces of the lost Mayan civilization, or just relax on the white beaches of the azure Caribbean. Currently, Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula is the most famous holiday destination.

Bora Bora without a travel agency
Do you dream of waking up one day in paradise? When God created the Earth, he poured half of his beauty into the island of Bora Bora. The name comes from Tahitian "Pora pora mai te pora", which translates to "created by the gods." A perfect half-circle with a dazzling turquoise lagoon, whose color transitions could not be painted even by the best painter. We fulfilled our dream of French Polynesia on the second attempt and will try to send you a piece of this paradise in our article. And maybe one day you will fulfill this dream too :)
